Tell Governor Palin: Stop Aerial Gunning!
Over the past four years, Alaska's aerial hunting program has claimed the lives of nearly 700 hundred wolves. State-permitted aerial hunters and pilots are preparing to take to the skies again, and we need your help to stop them.

Alaska is the last state where a few hunters still use aircraft to chase and kill wolves, shooting the animals from the air or chasing them to exhaustion before landing and shooting them point blank.

This is what I wrote: How would you feel if someone hunted down one of your children from a plane in the frigid Alaska winter until he or she was too exhausted to run anymore, only to die a slow, torturous death? I have news for you, lady--wolves are sentient beings, too, and they feel pain just like humans do.
