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.

Dogs are the best friends of men. Dogs and wolves are wonderful canines. I don't realize why wolves must be killed... Are they so dangerous to Alaska's life? Or they belongs to Alaska and they are its natural natives?

I feel the hunting of these wolves is a useless & inhumane thing to do. If there are too many in an area-why not relocate them & not kill them off.

Protection of wild life is a responsibility of everyone of us. Unfortunately, those who have more power to say a word in defense of animals, those who are more likely to be heard and taken seriously due to their social status hardly say a thing, or do not say a thing at all. It is clear that our survival also depends on wild life's survival. Please save the Alaska's wolves!!! It is a simple gesture to you, and a whole new hope for the future of a species that makes part of this planet as much as we do. They have the right to live!

Romania does not have wolves any more, because they were all hunted. Do you want to become like us? Stop now!

I’m moving to Alaska later this year due to its wilderness pristine and wildlife diversity, I was absolutely appalled when I heard about this! Of all places in the world I would think that Alaska would have put a stop to this cruel, NON SPORT, type hunting long ago. For shame US government, for shame!
