Support the PAW Act - End Alaska's Aerial Hunting Program!
Target: U.S. House of Representatives

Alaska is truly our nation's last frontier. It is also the last place in the U.S. where a few hunters still use aircraft to chase and kill wolves. They shoot these animals from the air or chase them to exhaustion before landing and shooting them point blank.
Thirty five years ago, Congress passed a law to put an end to aerial hunting. But Alaska is exploiting a loophole in federal law to resume the practice, not only for wolves, but bears as well. Hundreds of scientists have condemned what Alaska is doing, even as other states threaten to follow Alaska's lead. It's time to stop aerial hunting once and for all.
Rep. George Miller (CA) has introduced the Protect America's Wildlife (PAW) Act, legislation to close a federal loophole and curb Alaska's brutal aerial hunting program -- and prevent programs like it from spreading to places like the Greater Yellowstone region.
Please urge your Representative to sign on as a cosponsor to Rep. George Miller's PAW Act.

I don't think it is right to kill wolves and other wild life. They aren't hurting us . They are God's creatures. They are great creatures. The PAW ACT should be passed. Thank you.

These beautiful animals have NO chance under these conditions, and I find this sickening! Maybe those men need a little taste of their own medicine!!!! Let the nature balance itself out. There is NO need for this. If those men want to hunt, then let them hunt down serial killers, etc. Put them to work for a GOOD cause!

the Wolf is a rare and magestic beast, a lesson to us all in family values. what skill or pleasure is there in this barbaric way of hunting. surely it would be better to observe the wolf and learn from his cunning and the way the whole pack not just one, take part when they hunt, not take the sissy option, it may just help in this dog eat dog world of ours.

This isn't hunting. It's government sponsered slaughter.

My Bff lives in Alaska, and she LOVES wolfs!! They're wonderful animals!!! Save them!!!
# 100,957:
I vehemently oppose killing wolves. There are alternatives to be explored. Please!!!! Do not endorse this hideous action. I'm concerned about Alaska but, even closer is the same outrage in Idaho and soon, other Western States. Please help us to stop this killing! NOW! Nancy Hoover nbhoover@aol.com

This type of butchery is despicable and so are the cowards that practice it.
# 100,954:
Please support H.R. 3663 (PAW) to end this cruel practice and prevent its spread to other states.

HOW can YOU people ignore something so abominable!!! These are BEAUTIFUL animals created by GOD! They have a RIGHT TO LIVE!! FREELY!! Without the threat of being hunted down haunt them everyday of their lives. They live in constant fear. They are not a source of food, just a source of absolute beauty. Please STOP this INSANITY!
