FW: Help Save Alaska's Wolves and pass it on

[Guest guest]

 

 

 

 

When people think of Alaska, they think of its amazing wildlife and natural beauty. But Alaska has a terrible secret: Each year, the state permits private citizens to chase down and kill dozens of wolves using low-flying aircraft and high-powered rifles.Alaska's voters have told the state twice to end this practice and it's been against federal law since the '70s.Defenders of Wildlife has created a powerful video on the issue that I think you might want to check out online at:http://SaveWolves.org/alaskaWarning: This video contains graphic footage of aerial wolf hunts -- wolves shot down from above, chased to exhaustion and wounded and left to die.Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and anti-wolf officials in the state have worked hard to obscure the truth about the aerial gunning program, even going so far as to earmark $400,000 in state funds to "educate" Alaskans about the state's baseless aerial gunning program.Fortunately, there is something you and I can do to help.Watch Defenders of Wildlife's new video and then take action to urge Governor Palin to end aerial hunting of wolves online at:http://www.SaveWolves.org/alaskaIf you would prefer to take action without watching the video, please visit the website below:http://www.SaveWolves.org/alaskanovideo To take action on this issue, below:https://secure2.convio.net/dow/site/Advocacy?s_oo=ykahf8Ih3CLNlH1cFQ7Gqw.. & id=841Here's the Alaska Governor's contact information: Governor Sarah PalinState Capitol, Juneau OfficeP.O.
