Help Expose the Truth and End Aerial Gunning of Wolves Aerial hunting of wolves is Alaska's dirty secret. Watch Defenders of Wildlife's new video and take action to help end this brutal practice. "Aerial predator control is a smoke screen for special interests. It's un-Alaskan, based on shaky science, and just plain wrong."- Alaska resident and hunter Nick Jans, Juneau, AK

Hi Fraggle,

It's simply outrageous. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has signed off on a $400,000 state-funded propaganda campaign to justify the state's barbaric wolf slaughter from the skies.

Why? Because Governor Palin and her political cronies in the state legislature are afraid that Alaskans will vote - once again - to end the brutal, unfair and unnecessary aerial gunning program.

Urge Governor Palin to stop the lies and end aerial gunning of wolves!

Alaska is truly our nation's last frontier. It is also the last place in the U.S. where a few hunters still use aircraft to chase and kill wolves. They shoot these animals from the air or chase them to exhaustion before landing and shooting them point blank.

Our partners at Defenders of Wildlife have made tremendous progress in Alaska recently - with the help of citizens like you, they stopped Alaska's grisly bounty proposal for wolf paws and blocked Governor Palin's plan to allow the use of helicopters to kill hundreds of wolves.

Now we need to counter Alaska's misinformation campaign. Please sign our petition today and urge Governor Palin to stop allowing trophy hunters to gun down Alaska's wolves.

Thank you for all that you do to protect wolves,
