Alaska’s wolf slaughter is out of control

  • TRIVIA: If frightened or threatened, a mother rabbit may abandon, ignore, or eat her young.

Alaska’s wolf slaughter is out of control. This year alone, 124 Alaskan wolves were gunned down from the skies. Nearly 800 wolves have been killed by aerial hunters in the last five years.

And just this summer, 28 wolves were executed near their dens -- including 14 defenseless wolf pups illegally killed by Alaska state officials.

On August 26th, Alaskans will head to the polls to ban the awful practice of aerial hunting -- before another deadly season begins.

With just two weeks before a crucial vote in Alaska, the powerful Safari Club International and Gov. Sarah Palin’s administration are pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into a last-ditch effort to kill hundreds more wolves by continuing a brutal aerial hunting program in the state.

We can’t let their money buy this vote.

Please donate now to help Alaskans for Wildlife run this powerful ad in Alaska newspapers -- and stop the barbaric aerial hunting program in the state. GO HERE!
