Help Save Alaska's Wolves
Target: Dirk Kempthorne, Secretary of the InteriorSponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund
Alaska's wolves won a temporary reprieve when a state court ruled last year against the state's aerial gunning program. But Alaska's Board of Game took emergency action to reverse the court's decision and the state is once again issuing aerial gunning permits for wolves.
More than 550 wolves have been killed since Alaska reinstated its aerial gunning program. You can help end the slaughter.
Aerial gunning is a brutal practice. Marksmen can gun down wolves from the air that are easy targets against the fallen snow. Or they can even run the wolves to exhaustion, then land and shoot them at point blank range.
Help us put an end to Alaska's aerial gunning programs once and for all. Tell Interior Secretary Kempthorne to do his job and finally enforce the Federal Airborne Hunting Act.

Please do not allow this. Wolves are our symbol of freedom, they do not hurt us, why are you allowing them to be hunted and massacred???

The hunting of wolves should never have been legalized in the first place. When you take out one member of the pack you disrupt a complex hierarchy more intelligent then our own human social structure. They morn a pack members loss down to the most lowly in the pack, the "scape goat". Stop allowing such intelligent animals to be destroyed for someone else's pleasure and/or hunting ambition. If there is a question about it being wrong, then it's not right and your job is to do what is right by following what the people want. An end to wolf hunting.

Please stop this insanity. How sick does a person have to be to want to harm an animal? How sick does anyone have to be to allow it?

Please see my painting THE DEATH OF WOLVES towards the end of my PLANET GENOCIDES album. Also click daily on http://www.clickforwolves.com/ My wife and I want our grandchildren -- and yours, too! -- to have at least as much opportunity as we do to enjoy nature and all its varied and wondrous wildlife all over the world. Fortunately for us, we can afford that kind of travel, but no amount of money can replace what has already disappeared or been destroyed. The world simply cannot afford to lose any more of its marvelous creatures or their precious habitat.

Aerial gunning is a cruel and barbaric practice. It is the responsibility of the Department of the Interior to uphold the law - the Federal Airborne Hunting Act - and protect Alaska's wolves.
