Sarah Palin: Alaska's Dead Wolf Pups Demand Justice!
Target: Alaska Governor Sarah PalinSponsored by: Care2.com
This summer, Alaska wildlife agency personnel reportedly staked out a known wolf denning site – a practice that is illegal under Alaska law – and, using helicopters, gunned down 14 adult wolves from the air.
When they landed, they found 14 helpless pups in the nearby dens – infant wolves just weeks old – and methodically shot each one in the head. 28 wolves gunned down in all.
Due to a loophole in federal law, Alaska is the only state in the U.S. where a few hunters still use aircraft to shoot wolves or chase them to exhaustion before landing and shooting them point blank. But the practice of "denning" – the killing of wolf young in the den – is prohibited even under Alaska law. This killing of 14 wolf pups disturbs even longtime hunters in Alaska.
During her two years as governor, Sarah Palin proposed a $150 bounty for the severed foreleg of each killed wolf and introduced legislation to make it even easier to use aircraft to hunt wolves and bears. But it's time that Governor Palin call for a thorough investigation into the killing of these 14 wolf pups, and bring any Alaska employees who acted illegally to justice.
Governor Palin presents herself as a pro-ethics reform politician. Please sign our petition to hold her accountable to her promises and send an email to your friends to spread the word.

I know you're a quitter and all, but do something honorable for a change, like find the people responsible for this violent act and hold them accountable! What if it were your baby Trig in that den!

Mrs. Palin, why do you feel the need to be such an evil "human" being? It is apalling that you even have a voice in this country. America is being destroyed by people like you. Please move to another country - preferably on another planet.

This is completely disturbing! To use aircraft to kill these innocent animals and then kill their newborn is absolutely cruel.

It is a complete out rage that as governor that you would allow such sensless acts of abuse. America doesn't see this in a positvie light and the word is quickly speeding of this horrible crime. You will never be more then the hick governor you sre today if you don't break free of your ridiculous antics. Living in San Diego the word is spreding and you are very much in a negative light

Dear Governor Palin, I am sickened by reports that you have allowed shooting wolves from planes to be allowed one again. I was reading a magazine article about it and heard that 84 wolves were killed in an Alaskan national park. Scientists found that that was the entire population of wolves in that park. Plus, you have allowed to gas innocent pups minding their own business in their dens. These wolves that you are allowing to be killed are already on the endangered species list and in 100 years will be extinct due to loss of habitat and prey. That is less than 2 generation of children. These pups that are being killed are the hope for a new future for these majestic animals. Around the nation, many people have dedicated their lives to these beautiful animals and have released these creatures back into the wild, only to see that their efforts are in vain. I feel deeply saddened that you would allow so much damage to be caused over a couple heard of caribou. I understand that it is your duty to your people, but think from the wolves perspective. Pups, excited to see the world and are just playing or sleeping in their den, start to breathe in the poisonous gasses and realize that their dream will never come true. Their mother, coming to her with meat she risked her life for, so she could feed her pups, only to find them dead. Imagine if you were put in that situation. You go to the grocery store and come home to find your children dead. That is what you are putting these wolves through. I wish you would re-think your actions and see things from a different view. Thank You. |

Sarah this is your chance to redeem some of your past indiscretions and show us you aren't ompletely unfeeling for anyone but yourself and your agenda. No one should be shooting at any wild animals by helicopter! It would have been more humane to have captured and relocate them if indeed they caused so much trouble. You answer to shoot these animals, who have a right to live as mu as youu do, is cowardice. Change it around dude.

Whoever is the governor needs to respect wolves and treat them with compassion and respect. Palin was the epitomy of all that is wrong with our indifference and direspect towards animals, and although the damage she created can never be undone with respect to the wrongful killing of animals, we can take steps to prevent this from ever happening again.

Short and simple message: Animal cruelty is wrong. It hurts individual animals and their communities. We don't need anymore of this in my State or in America.

Killing wolves is not ok. Like many of our other wildlife, they will eventually become extinct and their fear of man even greater. We are all supposed to love and care for one another, including our animals. This is very, very cruel.
