Support the PAW Act - End Alaska's Aerial Hunting Program!
Target: U.S. House of Representatives
Sponsored by: Care2.com
Sponsored by: Care2.com
Alaska is truly our nation's last frontier. It is also the last place in the U.S. where a few hunters still use aircraft to chase and kill wolves. They shoot these animals from the air or chase them to exhaustion before landing and shooting them point blank.
Congress passed a law thirty five years ago to put an end to aerial hunting. But Alaska is exploiting a loophole in federal law to resume the practice, not only for wolves, but bears as well. Hundreds of scientists have condemned what Alaska is doing, even as other states threaten to follow Alaska's lead. It's time to stop aerial hunting once and for all.
Rep. George Miller (CA) has introduced the Protect America's Wildlife (PAW) Act, legislation to close a federal loophole and curb Alaska's brutal aerial hunting program -- and prevent programs like it from spreading to places like the Greater Yellowstone region.
Please urge your Representative to sign on as a cosponsor to Rep. George Miller's PAW Act.

Wolves mean the world to me, they are majestic and wonderful animals who have been here way before us, Not that I am a tree hugger or anything, but what gives us the right to hunt them?

I don't understand how someone could kill such a beautiful and noble creature like the WOLF and to chase them in a airplane and call it sport it just makes me sick and hunters will use the excuse that they are killing all the trophy caribou and elk it is well documented that they would rather go after the sick and young for a easy kill we need to embrace these great creatures instead of killing themfor so called sport.

Please stop this horrible act of murder on these animals. I will not vote for anyone whom supports this. I know many people who feel the same. I will pass this on.

I am absolutley disgusted by Sarah Palin and her audacity to think that she is able to play the hand of God and try to off the species of the beautiful wolves. She is conviently forgetting that the wolves were there even before the eskimos. Leave the wolves alone. I will not vote for and will verbally denounce ANYONE who is for this stupid and senseless murdering of such a beautiful creature of God.

I find this so sad and backwards for us that claim we are a civilized nation. Please put an end to this gross hunting behavior for the sake of our planet and our future.

these beautiful creatures should not be harmed! They are the mainstay of nature and all her glory. Once the wolves are gone what will be next? The thought scares me

We claim to be a civilized people but little by little we're softening what passes for acceptable behaviour in America.

As one of your constituents, I am very concerned about the barbaric practice of "aerial hunting" in Alaska, in which state officials are allowing trophy hunters to use aircraft to run down and kill wolves. I also understand that officials in Wyoming and Idaho are considering the use of aerial hunting of wolves by federal and state agencies. That's why I'm asking you to sign on as a cosponsor to H.R. 3663, the Protect America's Wildlife (PAW) Act, introduced by Rep. George Miller. The PAW Act would end needless and cruel aerial hunting of wolves and other wildlife by closing a loophole in the Federal Airborne Hunting Act of 1972. Sincerely, Marcy Shiffer
