John,

Alaska’s wildlife is in trouble. Some of the cruelest hunting practices have
been permitted on millions of acres of Alaska’s national preserves. A new federal rule has gone into effect that allow hunters to use reprehensible
practices like baiting hibernating bears with doughnuts, shooting vulnerable
mother bears and cubs in their dens, using artificial light in wolf dens to kill
wolf pups and their mothers, using dogs to hunt black bears, and gunning down
swimming caribou from motorboats.

These inhumane practices had previously been banned in Alaska, but now the
National Park Service has issued a new rule that will rollback critical
protections for Alaska’s wildlife. We need you to make your voice heard and speak out against the cruel killing of
iconic wildlife.

[[link removed]] Allowing the killing of mothers and their young, especially during their most
vulnerable time, is unconscionable. There’s absolutely no reason to kill animals
while they’re denning or nursing their young, or to subject any animals to such
cruelty.

Please send a message directly to Secretary Bernhardt of the U.S. Department of
the Interior, which oversees the National Park Service, to demand a stop to this
new rule, prevent the inhumane killing of mother bears and their cubs, and of
wolf pups and their mothers — and to save animals who are essential to Alaska’s
ecosystems .

There’s strength in numbers, and the more people we have standing with us, the
greater our chance of success. Thank you! For the animals,

Stephen Wells
Executive Director
