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.

Govenor Palin, do you have no ethics whatsoever? Even if the only thing you are concerned about is your own political future you would be well advised to do something about this and also STOP THE HUNTING OF WOLVES FROM HELICOPTERS! Are you really that stupid that you do not realize how unpopular this practice is? If you hope to have any future in politics you should stop all of this immediately!

Killing innocent wolf pups for the growth of another species to slaughter as well, is nothing less than Genocide. When God gives you a gift, you don't take it and abuse it like a spoiled little brat. You take care of it and respect it to show appreciation for what has been provided. When you break this toy (meaning Earth and all that comes with it) Daddy doesn't give you a new one, this time. You only get one chance to get this right. So grow up, learn a little self respect, and stop acting like an in-bred baffoon.

To Kill for sport is one thing. To kill for the fun of killing is just plain murder. This killing of innocent wolf cubs goes against everything i was taught as a sporting shooter. Justice should be done to those who misuse our sport.

We are living in their world, not vice versa. Gov. Palin, it absolutely disgusts me to know that you govern this beautiful state, and do nothing to reverse these brutal practices. Would you kill a dog? I can almost answer that for myself. You feel human fetus lives are so important, but yet you have no compassion for our fellow animals. Your policies on wildlife make me sick. I just hope you are ready for what happens to you in your next life, if reincarnation is a reality, and you don't fry in hell, as your religion believes.

We should not be killing these innocent wolves. They did nothing for people to just go out and be killing them off. Someone should stop this before they become extinct. How would you like it if someone just waltz into your house and killed everyone and topped it off by shooting a little baby in the head.

This act is illegal, cruel, and just plain out wrong. Would you go into an orphanage or even someone's home and shoot babies in the head? Yes, it is that cruel, it is that horrible. I know that the hunting business is a big source of income, but this is going to majorly damage the popularity of Alaska and effect its tourism. I personally have been looking forward to going to Alaska on week-long (or longer) fishing trip with my dad, and mostly JUST to have a chance at hearing a wild wolf howl. Now with things like this, I never want to touch Alaska land (or spend lots of money there fishing and shopping!) with such barbaric acts going on! Up until these things began happening (with aerial wolf hunting and then Sarah Palin's cruel plans to boost the hunting industry), my dad went with a big group of friends to spend a week or two on fishing trips in Alaska. After I found out about these things, I told him to stop (being a HUGE wolf lover), and now him and his buddies haven't gone since. This is a big mistake; a truly horrible plan that will come back to bite you in the butt. Many people have banned going to Alaska (like me) from the aerial wolf hunts, and now I know for a fact even more people are now that this cruel act is put to the light. I have seen art and hundreds of comments/signatures related to just ONE PICTURE ALONE agreeing with what I have just said. These cruel and barbaric acts aren't the way to go. Make the right choice and put an end to it all now.

They are truly majestic creatures, and we cannot allow them to be murdered any longer. That's what it is - murder, plain and simple, and if anyone condones the killing of these beautiful animals, they are not fit to live themselves, for it is inhumane at best. We cannot lose our wolves... there are so so many reasons why, and I can't even find the words to explain. PLEASE... just save the wolves... justice must be served! As as for you, yourself, Palin... you will get what's coming to you; you all all those like you. The pups were innocent... and this is cruelty... this is true evil.

The wolf is a majestic and magnificent animal. Wolves embody the meaning of family. These animals should not be killed just to boost caribou numbers. Wolves have have been unfairly judged by mankind and we need to let these beautiful animals live and prosper. The Alaskan Department Fish and Game is barbarically killing innocent animals who are just trying to live in peace and tend to their families. We must not let this unjust killing persist. It is a genocide that must be stopped. We must stop the Alasan government before they kill too many wolves and the population becomes extinct.
