CRISIS: Alaska's wildlife in peril
Jamie Rappoport Clark, Defenders of Wildlife
I wanted to make sure you saw this important message.
We can’t let Alaska get away with its brutal and reckless scheme of targeting wolves with pups and bears with cubs on our national wildlife refuges – all to artificially inflate game numbers to benefit hunters.
It’s wrong. And it must be stopped.
Please, won’t you donate today to help us fight for the wildlife and wild lands we all love?
Thanks so much for all you do.

I bet you’re going to be as angry as I am when you hear this news.
The state of Alaska wants to kill wolves, bears and other wildlife by baiting, snaring and shooting mother bears with cubs and wolves with pups. And they want to do it on national wildlife refuges!
It must be stopped.
Your compassionate donation will help save wolves and other wildlife you love.
As if it couldn't get more despicable – Alaska officials want to undertake these lethal "predator control" measures in order to artificially inflate moose and other game animal numbers to benefit hunters!
Alaska’s cruel scheme would permit:
-
Killing wolves and pups during the spring and summer "denning" season;
-
Gunning down mother bears and their cubs;
-
Baiting and snaring any black or brown bear or cub; and
-
Aerial shooting of bears and wolves by state agency personnel.
How could the state even contemplate activities like these on America’s refuges?
Patrick, thanks to you and other stalwart wildlife lovers, Defenders has been at the forefront of efforts to protect wolves and other wildlife from irresponsible hunting, development and other threats.
Help Protect
Alaska’s Wildlife
Alaska wants to allow hideous practices to kill bears, wolves and other wildlife on national wildlife refuges.
Your urgent donation today will make a difference.
Thanks for all your help.
Sincerely,
