Hi John,

In Alaska wolf pups can be orphaned and left to die because wolf-hunting is allowed during denning season.

And bears can be baited with bacon grease and donuts and then gunned down — all to appease hunters who view predators as competition for the species they like to target, such as moose and caribou.

We're pushing the National Park Service to ban these cowardly "predator control" practices. Please help with a gift to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.

In 2020 the Trump administration lifted a ban on such destructive hunting in Alaska's natural preserves — including baiting and using artificial lights and hounds to shock and subdue bears and their cubs.

The Center and allies sued, and now the Park Service is considering making wolves and bears in Alaska national preserves safe from these shameful tactics again.

It's not fair or ethical to bait free animals with sweet-smelling food and then shoot them, especially on preserves that are meant as havens.

Wolves and bears, and especially their pups and cubs, are not expendable.

They're vital to keeping the wild areas they call home healthy for the many species who share their habitat.

The extinction crisis is deepening by the hour, and it's the fight of our lifetimes to face it.

We're doing all we can to save species great and small — and to shelter wildlife in the few places we've carved out to share with them.

Please help with a gift today to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.
