Aerial gunners for Alaska Fish and Game recently killed18 wolves to boost moose numbers, according to a report by The Anchorage Dispatch.
This agency reportedly used a fixed-wing aircraft to spot the wolves, and then brought in a helicopter to kill the wolves with shotguns.
But the moose population would be better balanced if the state limited hunting licenses for rich out-of-state hunters. Likewise, independent scientific studies by noted biologists demonstrate that more willow plantations could boost moose populations.
Within certain moose populations, we find declining numbers are caused by many other environmental issues. And yet the state continues to scapegoat wolves and kill them with aerial gunning.
Needless aerial wolf killing must end. Please sign my petition and tell The State of Alaska and the Alaska Board Of Game to stop destroying wolf populations throughout the state of Alaska through barbaric aerial extermination.
Governor Walker: We the undersigned demand that you immediately halt Alaska Fish and Game's and the Alaska Board of Game's aerial wolf killing operations in the state of Alaska. This is barbaric practice, which uses fixed wing aircraft and helicopters to spot, chase, and kill wolves, is clearly lacking substantial environmental proof that wolves are, in fact, the cause of declining moose numbers. We seek a public statement that makes clear that aerial wolf killing will cease immediately. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, R. Barry Neil
