Help Stop the Wolf Massacre -- End Alaska's Aerial Hunting Program!
As a supporter of Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund and as one of your constituents, I am very concerned about the barbaric practice of "aerial hunting" in Alaska, in which state officials are allowing trophy hunters to use aircraft to chase down and kill wolves.
I also understand that the states of Wyoming and Idaho are considering the use of aerial hunting of wolves by federal and state agencies.
That's why I'm asking you to support the Protect America's Wildlife (PAW) Act. The PAW Act would end needless and cruel aerial hunting of wolves and other wildlife by closing a loophole in the Federal Airborne Hunting Act of 1972.
Aerial hunting is a horrific, unsportsmanlike practice that needs to end. Alaskans have twice voted to stop this policy, but the state government continues to allow wolves to be needlessly slaughtered from the skies. Nearly 700 wolves have been killed this way -- and another season is set to begin this Fall.
The PAW Act will put Alaska's savage policy to an end -- and prevent it from spreading to the Greater Yellowstone region.
Please support this critical legislation today.
Thank you for considering my comments. I look forward to hearing from you on this important matter.
