Stop the Wolf Slaughter in Alaska - Boycott Alaska Today!
Even after Alaska voters twice voted to restrict aerial gunning of wolves and more than 42,000 registered Alaska voters endorsed a ballot measure to restrict aerial gunning of wolves, state officials are now pushing even more extreme measures to kill more wolves.Earlier this week,
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s administration announced plans to pay a $150 bounty for any wolf killed in specified management zones -- provided that the shooter turns in the dismembered legs of wolves they’ve killed as proof. Her office also left open the possibility that wolf shooters be able to use not just fixed-wing aircraft, but also helicopters, to kill wolves.
Not even notoriously anti-wolf former Governor Frank Murkowski would allow that!
We’ve launched an emergency campaign to stop this terrible expansion of Alaska’s reckless wolf killing, but we need your support to pay for these efforts. Please make an emergency contribution right now!
Alaska officials hope to kill up to 664 wolves before the aerial gunning season’s scheduled end on April 30 (more than 40 have been killed so far). Hundreds of wolves -- including pregnant mothers preparing to den -- could be gunned down and dismembered in the next five weeks unless we can stop them.
We have only a short time, but Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund is working hard with our sister organization Defenders of Wildlife and local partners to prevent this state-sponsored killing spree.
Help us raise the $100,000 we need to secure by March 30th to save wolves and other wildlife.
We’ve got lots of work to do in the coming weeks -- including grassroots mobilization, lobbying and media and public outreach -- and we’re going to need your help to do it. I hope you’ll support these vital efforts.
