More than 150 wolves killed… Don’t let it happen again.
Two Gray Wolves in the Snow (Corel)
Alaska’s aerial gunning season ended on Sunday, with at least 153 wolves brutally killed by airborne marksmen. Please help us raise $50,000 by next Wednesday to make 2006 the year we end aerial gunning once and for all.

Dear Linda,
This week… The Alaska Department of Fish Game reported that at least 153 wolves were killed through the state’s aerial gunning program.
Next week… Alaska’s Board of Game meets. Among the items on its agenda: proposals to expand the areas where aerial gunning is permitted, to allow the use of snowmobiles to chase and kill wolves, and to make permanent the five existing aerial gunning wolf control programs.
Today… You can do something to help us end Alaksa's aerial gunning program once and for all. Please make a contribution to the Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund’s Campaign to Stop the Alaska Wolf Massacre right now!
More than 550 wolves have been killed in the three years since Alaska reinstated its ill-conceived aerial gunning program. In just the last few months, dozens of wolves have been killed, shot from above or chased to exhaustion by marksmen in low-flying planes, then killed at point-blank range.
These wolf killing programs are scientifically unsound. Study after study shows that wolves play an important role in healthy ecosystems, and manipulating their numbers or removing them from the landscape will do long-term damage.
In some state-sanctioned areas, no wolf is safe -- not the males, not the mothers, not even young pups.
That isn’t acceptable wildlife management -- it’s a massacre. And we need your financial support to end it.
We need your help to ensure that this is the last year wolves are killed in such a barbaric and unsporting way. Please make a donation online now to support our four-point plan to end aerial gunning:
* Our crack legal team is looking at ways to shut down aerial gunning by private marksmen for good.
* At Board of Game hearings, we’re front-and-center, working with our local allies to block the Board’s proposed expansions of the state’s aerial gunning programs.
* Across Alaska, we’re encouraging supporters to help the state-based Alaskans for Wildlife’s efforts to put an aerial gunning ban on the ballot. So far, they’ve collected more than 30,000 signatures in just a couple of months.
* In Washington, DC, we are working to clarify and strengthen the law originally enacted in 1971 to end barbaric practices like aerial gunning -- the Federal Airborne Hunting Act.
Together with Defenders of Wildlife, Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund will work to make sure 2006 is the year we end this terrible practice. But we need your help to succeed.
Hundreds of wolves have been killed already. It’s time to say: Never again! With your help, we can put an end to aerial gunning in Alaska once and for all.
Sincerely,
Rodger Schlickeisen, President

P.S. Our legal challenge alone is estimated to top $75,000. Help us raise $50,000 by next Wednesday to support these and other efforts to protect our wildlife. Please make a rush online donation now or call 1-800-425-4632 to donate by phone.
