I grew up in Alaska and have been fighting to save Alaska's wolves since 1989. Thought I should share that the Alaskan state legislature has overturned its voters three times, who consistently vote against the aerial hunting of wolves and the hunting of wolves via snowmachines until they are too exhausted to run. There is no justice in Alaska so the fight continues. I want to go home...
