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.

When will people learn that you can only push mother nature so far before she starts pushing back? Let us learn from Hurricane Katrina that we need to respect the environment and all creatures in it!!

Stop aerial shooting of wolves. It's unbelievably barbaric, and wolves help us maintain a balanced ecosystem.

Wolves have been proven to be an asset for their surroundings. Wolves keep nature balanced. It is a sin to let them be hunted, especially from the air. Hunting from the air is unfair and should be outlawed.
