In the past five years, more than 700 Alaskan wolves have been brutally slaughtered by gunners in aircraft. Now another season of aerial gunning is underway. With your help, we can stop this awful practice! Easy targets against fallen snow, wolves are gunned down from airplanes or chased to exhaustion, then shot at point blank range. State-licensed marksmen can target entire packs -- even pregnant mothers!

Last year alone, nearly 100 wolves were slaughtered from the skies. Fortunately, the state fell way short of their goals. But this year could be worse. Anxious to make up for last year, hundreds more wolves could be targeted this season.Wolves help the overall health of natural ecosystems. They help keep Alaska's moose and caribou populations healthy and strong. Wolves are also important to Alaska's billion-dollar tourism industry.

Yet the state continues to allow aerial gunning. In fact, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and the state legislature have approved spending $400,000 in taxpayer funds to promote the slaughter from the skies -- fearing Alaskans will once again vote to restrict this barbaric practice, as they have twice before.

  1. It's called animal control. Too many Wolves harm an ecosystem. The hunt takes place to restore natural balance with the proper number of wolves for the habitat......


  2. You are CLUELESS!!!  Exactly how do wolves help keep Alaska's moose and caribou populations healthy and strong?!?!?!!!  THEY ATTACK AND EAT MOOSE AND CARIBOU!!!  That's why the wolves are being killed off -- too many predators and not enough prey.  So you're saying you'd rather see the wolves survive at the expense of the moose, caribou, and other animals wolves feed on?  Do you know what happens when the predator population gets too great and the wolves don't have any animals to feed on anymore?  They attack and eat HUMANS!!!  And if that happens I'm sure you'll be the first to volunteer to hand yourself over as food for the poor wolves, right?

  3. Why are liberals so fascinated with vicious predators?

    They only seem to care about animals that hurt people and other animals.  They never live with these animals, but try to force other people to live with them.

    As has been said before; it seems liberals do not really like animals, they just like hurting people.

  4. You must live where there aren't any wolves.

  5. all the people who kill wolves will pay the price in the end and  their whole country side will change within 30 years .

    In yellow stone park they found out  ,and they are bringing wolves back .

    One cannot remove predators from the eco systems with out expecting drastic results ,

    And the results will be in the fauna ,with the trees and forests .

    To h**l with these people let them find out the hard way ,they will not listen to reason anyway.

    Look at the reaction you get here ,people have no clue,how Nature works
