91 Wolves Killed & Counting! Stop the Slaughter!
Target: Governor MurkowskiSponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife
68 Wolves Killed In Barbaric Aerial Hunt
Governor Murkowskis reinstatement of aerial wolf hunting in Alaska has already resulted in the the death of too many wolf mothers, fathers and pups! Help stop the slaughter, Sign this petition demanding that Governor Murkowski halt the killing.
Aerial hunting allows private hunters with permits to gun down wolves from helicopters or planes; or run the wolves to exhaustion in the deep snow then land and shoot these helpless animals!
This practice is barbaric, ruthless, and intolerable. In an effort to mollify disgruntled hunting interests which claim wolves are reducing moose and caribou herds, Murkowski has legalized this reprehensible threat to wolves. But wolves often remove the sick, weak, inferior and old members of caribou and moose herds, which actually strengthens those gene pools over time.
It is time for the Governor to do the right thing - stop the slaughter.

The Earth and its creatures are not ours to abuse and exploit for selfish reasons. It is our obligation to defend those who do not have a voice.

Is your heart a cold dark and shrivelled thing? Or is there blod pulsing through it? Is it connected to your mind and spirit or are you dead? May your life and it's ending be directly related to how you treat other beings.
