AERIAL HUNTERS IN ALASKA KILL 91 WOLVES

91 wolves have been shot dead under Alaska's new aerial gunning program in 
the last month. Your help is urgently needed: the plan is to kill 80% of the 
wolves in an 8,000 square mile area of Alaska.

Please help stop this barbaric practice by supporting Defenders of 
Wildlife's wolf protection programs! Help now:  
http://www.care2.com/go/z/12159

Aerial hunters gun the wolves down from the air, or chase them to exhaustion 
in the deep snow,  then land and shoot them point-blank. Under the pretense 
of boosting moose populations for hunters, aerial hunters can even kill 
pregnant females and wolf pups. Numerous scientific studies show that wolves 
are actually beneficial to the overall health of natural ecosystems, and 
keep Alaska's moose and caribou populations healthy and strong.

Wolves, much like our family dogs, are pack animals with close bonds and 
family ties. But right now, they really need YOUR help.

Donate to our partner, Defenders of Wildlife, today: 
http://www.care2.com/go/z/12159 

Your donation will help Defenders: 
 - Shine the media spotlight on this barbaric practice 
to provoke national outrage to stop it. 
 - Persuade tourism companies in Alaska to call for a 
ban on aerial gunning. 
  - Mobilize Alaska's citizens to demand legislative 
action to halt the killing. 
  - Demand that Interior Secretary Gale Norton stop 
the killing as a violation of the Federal Airborne Hunting Act. 

This is a cause worth fighting for. Plans call for up to 140 wolves to be 
killed in two areas by April 30th. We must act fast.

Show your outrage at this barbaric practice by donating today:

Thank you for making a difference,

President, Care2 & The Petition Site 


PS. Wolves are closely related to our own family dogs. If 
your beloved animal companion faced the same fate, would 
you fight for her?

Deneb, one of our older wolves catching the few remaining rays of a November afternoon. 

I took this photo on the afternoon of November 13, 2001, at 5:06pm with my D1x digital camera.  The exposure was 1/500 sec f 4.2 ISO 500.  Using my 80-200mm lens set at 185mm I had shot this through the fence.  I had the tone set to low and white balance set to flash because I had used a fill flash, but the result was really muddy and the color was weird.  I played a lot in Photoshop to get a half way decent result using a number of adjustment layers changing the levels of the image.
