Pass the PAW Act -- End Alaska's Aerial Hunting Program! Please tell Congress to support the Protect America's Wildlife (PAW) Act, legislation to close a federal loophole and curb Alaska's brutal aerial hunting program and prevent programs like it from spreading to places like the Greater Yellowstone region.
Please kindly fill out the form by clicking on the link below to urge your Representative to support the PAW Act. It would help tremendously if you would add a personal statement of your own to this petition.
Defenders Of Wildlife Action Please help to save these beautiful wild Wolves from the cruel, barbaric Trophy Hunting, "City rich folk" in Alaska and other regions of America, who shoot them just for sport. Many are shot from small planes flying overhead chasing them for long distances until they are exhausted. Often they are not killed outright and suffer a slow, bloody, agonising death. The orphaned pups are killed too, along with their mothers, some of them new born, and still in their dens.
Hundreds have died already and many more will continue to die until the Loopholes in the State Laws are closed for ever.
Alaskan folk have twice voted to overturn the policy but the state Government continues to allow this senseless, cruel, selfish slaughter.
Please support the Protect America's Wildlife (PAW) Act. The PAW Act would end needless and cruel aerial hunting of wolves and other wildlife by closing a loophole in the Federal Airborne Hunting Act of 1972.
DEFENDERS OF WILDLIFE ACTION ARE HOPING TO PERSUADE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO OVERTURN THESE LAWS.
I am British born and bred and sadly have never had the privilidge of seeing a Wild Wolf living in it's natural habitat, why?, because these beautiful animals have already been driven to extinction in the UK and many parts of Europe. It is hoped to try and re-introduce them into small areas of Scotland, and this is already under way.
