ALERT: Urge Congress to End Aerial Gunning of Wolves
From: Care2.com
Aerial gunners in Alaska have killed more than 600 wolves since 2003. Alaska's Governor Sarah Palin wants to offer $150 bounties to encourage hunters to kill more wolves. Even worse, Idaho and Wyoming have proposed aerial gunning programs of their own, meaning that soon the wolves of Yellowstone could be gunned down from airplanes if they leave the safety of the park.
It's time to end this brutal practice. Representative George Miller (D-CA) will be introducing legislation in September to do just that -- his legislation would close a loophole in the Federal Airborne Hunting Act to prohibit aerial gunning.
We want to encourage all members of Congress to support this critical legislation. Sign our petition today to urge your representative to become an original co-sponsor of Rep. Miller's bill to end aerial gunning!
