68 Wolves Killed In Barbaric Aerial Hunt
Governor Murkowskis reinstatement of aerial wolf hunting in Alaska has already resulted in the the death of too many wolf mothers, fathers and pups! Help stop the slaughter, Sign this petition demanding that Governor Murkowski halt the killing.
Aerial hunting allows private hunters with permits to gun down wolves from helicopters or planes; or run the
wolves to exhaustion in the deep snow then land and shoot these helpless animals!
This practice is barbaric, ruthless, and intolerable. In an effort to mollify disgruntled hunting interests which claim wolves are reducing moose and caribou herds, Murkowski has legalized this reprehensible threat to wolves. But wolves often remove the sick, weak, inferior and old members of caribou and moose herds, which actually strengthens those gene pools over time.
It is time for the Governor to do the right thing - stop the slaughter.
