Defenders Aims to End Aerial Gunning or Wolves

Framed as a proposal to end aerial gunning of wolves in Alaska, proposed legislation introduced in Congress would actually end aerial gunning of almost all wildlife throughout the nation.

This is an important bill, as aerial control of chronic problem wolves is often the only method to stop depredation problems.

The bill, called “Protect America’s Wildlife Act” (PAW), it’s heavily backed by Defenders of Wildlife. An action alert sent out by Defenders president Rodger Schlickelsen noted: “There is no doubt that our message is powerful and we have real momentum to end aerial hunting of wolves. But another deadly season of aerial hunting in Alaska is just weeks away, and wolf opponents in the Greater Yellowstone Region are chomping at the bit to begin their own aerial hunting programs.”

I guess the losses to human saftey, moose and other animals does not matter.  Wolves are noted for wiping out whole populations of animals when left unchecked.  There have been many studies of prey on the islands in and around Alaska. 

Maybe a few more humans need to be attacked and stalked before this species which is not endangered allows the top predator to keep the wolf population in check.  These people have their wolves they so wanted all I want is the right to manage the wolves that are threatening humans and causing problems in our communities.

In New Mexico a goverment managed Mexican Gray Wolf slaughterd this little girls horse in her front yard.  A month earlier her dog was attacked right in front of her.  Was she the target of this attack.
