We Can End Aerial Gunning of Wolves: Sign the Petition Today!

Each year in Alaska, hundreds of wolves are chased down and killed by gunners who shoot them from planes or, after chasing them to exhaustion, land the plane and shoot them at point-blank range -- brutal, inhumane and unnecessary practices that could start in Wyoming and Idaho as early as this Fall.

Rep. George Miller (CA) has crafted legislation to fix the Federal Airborne Hunting Act to close a loophole that would curb this cruel practice. But he needs your support to win passage of this wolf-saving measure.

Fill out the form below to sign on as a Citizen Cosponsor to close the loophole in the Federal Airborne Hunting Act and we'll hand deliver it to your Representative. As a Citizen Cosponsor, you’ll be joining the chorus of tens of thousands of Americans who support putting an end to aerial gunning of wolves.

1. No, we should keep this legal. Maybe Cheney will push Harry Whittington out of a plane.

"I am sure, that if he were still alive, my husband would apologize to Mr. Cheney for allowing himself to be pushed out of the plane."

2. done/k/r there's no justification for such craven barbarism

3. Does anyone have a link to the Protect Alaska's Wildlife Act?

I would like to read it before signing the petition, I am all for ending the practice of shooting animals from planes or using planes to spot animals but would be against any legislation that prohibited using a plane to get to remote hunt sites.

4. Rep. Miller seems to still be crafting the bill

and collecting co-sponsors, to be filed around labour day.

5. And please don't think that we ordinary Alaskans

are in favor of aerial wolf kills. We've voted against it already twice, I believe, but our Game Board are a bunch of Neanderthals. Keep the pressure on.

6. Why?

are they endangered or do you just oppose hunting?

[spoony]

7. That isn't hunting

Slaughtering something from a gunship isn't sport.
