EVIL

can’t believe it. Even after Alaska voters twice voted to restrict aerial gunning of wolves and more than 42,000 registered Alaska voters have endorsed a ballot measure to restrict aerial gunning of wolves, state officials are now pushing even more extreme measures to kill more wolves.

Earlier this week, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s administration announced plans to pay a $150 bounty for any wolf killed in specified management zones -- provided that the shooter turns in the dismembered legs of wolves they’ve killed as proof.

Her office also left open the possibility that wolf shooters be able to use not just fixed-wing aircraft, but also helicopters, to kill wolves. Not even notoriously anti-wolf former Governor Frank Murkowski would allow that!

We’ve launched an emergency campaign to stop this terrible expansion of Alaska’s reckless wolf killing, but we need your support to pay for these efforts. Please make an emergency contribution right now!

The threat is so grave that one of our generous donors has even promised to match every contribution dollar for dollar until 5 PM this Monday (up to $25,000).
