Dear John,

Last month, the Fish and Wildlife Service greenlighted killing bear and wolf
pups in their dens in Alaska. What’s worse, this will be allowed in the Kenai
National Wildlife Refuge and other nature preserves -- the very places wildlife
should be most protected.

Hibernating bears, wolf and bear cubs, swimming caribou, and more are now open
season for trophy hunters.

This widely controversial move has shown the FWS is not a steward of the Earth
and has reached a low regarding cruelty to wildlife. Now, Congress is pushing
back with a letter opposing the agency’s action. We need you to push your
Representative to support wildlife!

Use your voice: Demand Congress take action to protect Alaska’s wildlife.

Take Action

the following tactics on nature preserves in Alaska:

* Use bacon grease and doughnuts to bait bears
* Shoot hibernating mother bears and cubs in their dens
* Use motorboats to shoot swimming caribou
* Kill wolf pups in their dens
* Target animals from airplanes, helicopters, and snowmobiles

The extreme cruelty involved in these methods is clearly geared towards barbaric
trophy hunters.

These hunting practices are so egregious that there is bipartisan opposition to
them. 79 members of Congress previously urged the National Park Service to
retain wildlife protections in Alaska -- but the FWS caved to extremist hunting
interests instead.

John, we need you to use your voice and demand they try once more to help protect
bear and wolf pups!

Tell Congress: Baiting bears and killing cubs in their sleep is cruel. Federal
hunting rules must be reinstated immediately!

Take Action
[[link removed]]FWS’s decision means there are no protections on gray wolves in Alaska, which
have seen their population dwindle since the 1970s. Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming
have already loosened protections -- and in the last decade, more than 3,200
wolves have been killed. This rule change could put wolves at increased risk of
extinction.

Gray wolf recovery efforts under the Endangered Species Act have been called
“one of our nation’s great conservation successes.” Now, all of that is at risk.

This inhumane treatment of animals in Alaska cannot be tolerated.
John, demand hunting rules be reinstated immediately.

Stop extremist hunters from killing bear cubs and wolf pups in their dens: Take
action now!

Take Action
