Alaskan Wolf Slaughter

[Guest guest]

I saw this on another site and thought I'd pass it on.

Hello,

 

Kerwood's intense campaign against Alaska's aerial wolf slaughter has

generated enormous international support.

 

However, the slaughter continues with 63 wolves confirmed dead and

the death toll rapidly rising.

 

Alaska's barbaric laws allow pilot/gunner teams to shoot entire

families of wolves, including pups, from the air or to chase wolves

to frantic

exhaustion and then land to kill them as they struggle in deep snow

to escape. These laws ensure certain death for hundreds of wolves in

the years to come. If this were not horrifying enough, Alaska's Board

of Game meets

next month to review and most likely approve four additional wolf

killing programs in addition to the ones already in place. Over half

the state of Alaska is eligible for shoot or land-and-shoot wolf

hunting, with permits being issued to hunters with the most

successful history of aerial kills, whether or not these hunters have

previous convictions for illegal aerial or land-and-shoot actions!

 

Help save Alaska's wolves by signing Kerwood's petition against their

slaughter (link at bottom of email) and just as importantly, with

your generous financial contribution today to our massive campaign to

end their killing: http://www.kerwoodwolf.com/ACTIONCENTER.htm

Kerwood is hard at work to stop the senseless, barbaric killing of

these majestic, innocent animals but we need your help to do so and

to continue to:

 

* Deliver our urgent petition to Alaskan governor Frank Murkowski

(delivered

in its entirety every time 5,000 signatures are added)

 

* Shine the world spotlight on these atrocities and Alaska's policies

of death

 

* Promote a worldwide tourism boycott of Alaska and urge the tourism

industry to call for a ban on these senseless and barbaric wolf

killings

 

Help ensure the preservation of these beautiful, social and

intelligent animals for generations to come. Take action by visiting
