John,

Did you know that in Alaska, it’s legal to hunt wolves and bears using shameful, unsporting tactics?

Since hunting is allowed during denning season, mother wolves and bears with vulnerable young can be shot, leaving pups and cubs orphaned and likely to die. Bears can be baited for easy killing with tempting treats like bacon grease and donuts — all to appease hunters who want as many moose and caribou as possible to be left for their own taking.

But now we can make a difference for Alaska’s wildlife. [link removed]

Following legal action by the Center for Biological Diversity and our allies, the National Park Service has proposed a ban on these “predator control” practices across national preserves and parks in the state. This would ensure that millions of acres of public lands can be safe havens for persecuted wildlife.

Wolves and bears are vital for healthy and balanced ecosystems. As the biodiversity crisis deepens, we must protect them from exploitation by trophy hunters.

You can help: Tell the National Park Service you strongly support its proposal. [link removed]
