Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 I just sent a very important petition to the Governor of Alaska, Frank Murkowski, expressing my outrage that he has signed a bill allowing wolves to be hunted and killed from airplanes. The people of Alaska have TWICE voted to revoke land-and-shoot in the last seven years. But certain state officials want wolves killed to boost moose and caribou herds for hunters. Unlike wolves in the lower 48 states, wolves in Alaska are not afforded protection under the Endangered Species Act, and wolf hunting is allowed in most parts of the state. In the past five years, nearly 7,500 wolves were killed through hunting and trapping. Please go to http://www.savealaskawolves.org to learn more about this urgent issue and to send a message to Gov. Murkowski telling him to support protections for Alaskan wolves. David Neale This message is being sent to you by a friend who has utilized a service provided by www.savealaskawolves.org. You will not be contacted again. Savealaskawolves.org is merely providing a means for the public to spread the word about keeping these magnificent wolves preserved for future generations.
