Governor Murkowski's reinstatement of aerial wolf hunting in Alaska means heightened slaughter in a state that already provides virtually no protection for wolves. Hunting and trapping have already annihilated more than 7,000 wolves between 1996 and 2002 - and possibly even twice that number if unreported harvests are accounted for. Nearly 7,500 wolves have been killed in just the past five years!

Land and shoot hunting, when hunters in airplanes chase wolves to the point of exhaustion and then shoot them when they are too tired to escape, threatens wolves even more. It is unconscionable that Alaska's government has assured the senseless and easy murder of perhaps thousands more wolves.

Land and shoot laws are an obvious move to mollify disgruntled hunting interests which claim wolves are reducing moose and
caribou herds. Never mind the facts, that larger prey species elude wolves up to 97 per cent of the time and that wolves, by removing the sick, weak, inferior and old members of their prey species, actually strengthen those gene pools.

This new, heightened slaughter of wolves via aerial methods is a sickening return to the senseless, barbaric practices begun in Alaska prior to statehood and continued thereafter, this time with Governor Murkowski's blessing. It is time for the governor to do the right thing - stop the slaughter.

Please help wolves in Alaska by signing the above petition. It takes as little as 30 seconds

To Whom It May Concern,

We were here first... but then you came along.You took our home, our food, our way of life. Slowly, we disappeared. But some still cared. they started to help up make a comback. They spoke up, spork their mind, and turned around what you started. But though their efforts paid off in the long run, you're still here... We didn't fight when you took over. We kept going the best we possibly could. You continue to take everything we have, yet you still want more. You greedy humans have it all, so do you really have to take our lives?

Too many of us? No, we were here first. We claimed this land before you. You fear us because we are 'vicious, killing beasts with a thirst for blood', but we've shared our lands with you without complaint for many generations. We fear you because YOU are vicious, greedy creatures with guns and traps that slowly bring us to our doom. what have you done to show us that you aren't all that bad? I see no clarity here- why do you want us dead when we've spent all these years giving you everything you wanted and asking for only a peaceful existance in return.

Sure, we may take a few of your livestock here and there. We can't help it. First, you trespass on OUR territory and scare OUR animals away. Face it, we have to eat too, so we do what we have too. We don't understand that they are YOURS. Everything here used to be ours- the land, the animals. You come along and take our land an dput your animals on it, and then kill us for doing only what comes natural. It's who we are. Don't take aim at us for needing food to survive. You con't see us killing you for taking our caribou and scaring the rabbits away, do you?

Do you see my point, or am I rambling on for no reason?

We do understand, however, that there are a few of you who still care. Ther are a few of you who still want us around. You understand us, not fear nor hate us. But those of you who care can't save us on your own. We can't fight for our right to live. We can't speak up for ourselves. We don't speak your languages and we don't understand why those manmade tools of yours are sent after us. We can't fight for our rights. We need you to speak up for us.

But you can only do that by uniting together. Take a stand. It's all I ask of you. Unite and join the fight. Speak up, speak your mind. Don't stay silent. what help will that be? We'll just slowly... die... off. Please. It's all we ask.

You can have our land. You can have our food.

But please... spare us our lives.

Signed, The Wolves Of Alaska

Hell if I get flamed I'm just gunna laugh 'cause well it just goes to show that people don't care if masses of wolves are just murdered.

Besides if I get flamed I might have said something to get it.

True but they are living breathing animals. And if people cared about animals as much as they cared about themselves maybe we wouldn't have to complain 'bout the fact of the matter being you don't mass murder animals just 'cause there are to many of them you relocate them.

Beeecaaause wolves don't have the capability to reason. They're also incapable of construction, due to their lack of opposable (sp xP) thumbs. Hell, a wolf couldn't type what I'm typing right now.

Besides, I doubt that wolves would be able to even recognize whether or not they have rights.

There are far more pressing issues pertaining to people to concern ourselves with right now. neutral

But...if there are too many of them in the first place, relocating them will just give them the opportunity to make even more of what we were trying to get rid of in the first place. neutral

Anyway, I'm off to school. xp
Online petitions aren't really that effective, sorry.

I'd say online petitions written as if the petitioner was a wolf are even less so. O_o
i signed. i like wolves. and not like they attack people very often.they would rather run from us than attack us. and here is a question. what do they do with the killed wolves?

Humans are sophonts - self-aware beings. Killing humans is murder. Non-human animals are not sophonts. Killing non-human animals is slaughter. It's different.

Personally, I will never care about animals as much as I care about humans, on the grounds that I put the wellbeing of my own species above that of other species. To do otherwise runs counter to the preservation of my own species. That's not to say animal welfare is a worthless cause or that wanton destruction of other species is justified, because humanity has nowhere near a full grasp of the complexities of ecosystems, so throwing ecosystems off-balance may prove detrimental to humanity's interests. It'sj just that I feel that human welfare is a more pressing concern than animal welfare.

Normally humans slaughter animals because said animals are tasty to eat, or their skins are useful to wear, or because the animals being slaughtered are predating on animals which are good to eat, which means that humans don't get to eat them. I would guess that the latter is the case with these wolves.

heart Ye, count me in! I'm thouroughly disgusted with mankind right now...We're gifted with a wonderful world to live on, clean and fresh and full of life...and we destroy it. not only the planet, but the others that live on it as well.

I'm signing up. biggrin
