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.

Aerial gunning is not a fair way to hunt. Please enforce the Federal Airborne Hunting Act and stop this barbarous method from being used in Alaska.

We are all connected-insects, birds, fish, wolves. When we kill, we kill part of ourselves and our world.

In order for real change in our society and as a country we must teach compassion and tolerance at every level, and that starts with all our natural resources and the animal kingdom as a whole.

Please save Alaska's wolves before they become extinct. Those of us in the world without political agendas- would like to preserve all forms of life that currently exist on earth- rather than take the low road and destroy whatever stands in man's way to further his own selfish needs. We want the world to be around for many thousands of more years!
