Alaska's Governor Murkowski (R) Calls for Slaughter of 900 Wolves by Helicopter Hunters

The anti-conservation Board of Game has just voted to allow up to 900 wolves to be killed by the barbaric practice of aerial gunning. This is six times as many as were killed last winter. Lisa & Mike Husar/ Team Husar Easy targets against fallen snow, wolves can be gunned down from airplanes or chased to exhaustion, then shot at point blank range. We're counting on your support to help stop the aerial killing of wolves in Alaska. Please take two actions now:
