Help Us End Alaska's Aerial Wolf Slaughter
Urge Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to end the state's unfounded aerial wolf-killing program
Sponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife

Since 2003, Alaska's aerial hunting program has claimed the lives of more than 1,000 wolves. During these hunts, wolves are shot from the air or chased by airplanes to the point of exhaustion before the pilot lands the plane and a gunner shoots the animals point blank. Sign the petition below and urge Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to end the state's irresponsible and cruel aerial wolf-killing program immediately.

Help Us End Alaska's Aerial Wolf Slaughter
Goal: 50,000 • Progress: 14,897

Dear Governor Sarah Palin,

As I am sure you are aware, aerial hunting was outlawed by the federal government in 1972. Yet Alaska officials continue to skirt the law and permit aerial hunting, claiming that this terrible practice is necessary for wildlife management -- an assertion that is not supported by available data on wildlife population numbers.
