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.

Here's a suggestion. If you feel that the population is to large, then ship the wolves into another place with a climate that they can live in. Also, if the wolves coming into the city's or whatever, just build a big fence. I'm of young age and dream of seeing a wolf in the wild. Just seeing one or two at the Hershey Park zoo isn't going to satisfy me. I want to see a whole pack of wolves out in the wild living without fear and hunting,running,playing, and everything else. Please, please, please, stop the murder and put an act into effect. Thankyou for your time and consideration.

I've read this and just can't believe what I am reading. How can a "civilized" society even think about allowing this killing to continue. Do you participate in this killing also?? This killing of the wolves serves what purpose??? I'm sorry I missed that!!!

Wolves are my favorite animal. They are a bunch of childrens' too. What example are we setting to the future generation of children by killing a beautiful and graceful animal? One where murdering for fun is okay. These are wolves, powerful and gorgeous, and they deserve to be protected.

petition overview | letter ...Stop killing "our" Wolves in Alaska and the USA......Target: President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick ChaneySponsored by: tan's alt movement........................ President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Chaney: On behalf of the following petitioners, PLEASE STOP the AERIAL GUNNING SLAUGHTER on "OUR" wolves in Alaska. Today would be a wonderful day to do exactly that. If you care, as you claim to, about all American Citizens; I ask you this question. "HOW CAN YOU ORDER AND ALLOW such an HORINDOUS and INEXCUSIBLE COLD-BLOODED ASSAULT on one of America's most beloved and revered creatures, THE WOLF?"..........So help me, I cannot see a dog lover allowing this travesty of justice. PLEASE ReCONSIDER your decision and orders to exterminate one of "GOD'S" most noble creatures. The wolf is an integral and absolutely a necessary part of the "real west", the natural eco-system. I had hoped you would value the life of at least a WOLF. If you would educate yourself just a "bit" about the part a WOLF plays in the natural order of things. HE is very very important. Help "SAVE" one of GOD'S most majestic and social creatures, the wolf, and you will not be remembered as the one who made absolutely sure the WOLF becomes extinct. The sad part is, the cowardly fashion by the shooter, in which the WOLF must face death! We, The American People HAVE MOST DEFINITELY seen it. Many videos and activists will never allow this one to go away. Thank you, sirs, for taking the time to consider this urgent issue; and please do the Right Thing this time. Sincerely,

Didn't we JUST get these animals off the endangered species list!? Now we're not only calling open season, but allowing an aerial massacre? Please stop this atrocity.

It defies logic that in the 21st century, a government could allow this barbaric and fundamentally stupid act to continue against a creature that is already endangered.

I grew up with wolves in Northern Canada and it breaks my heart to know that they're being killed. No way should the men be called hunters... they're murderers.
