The wolf has been one of the most mistreated animals in all of history.It's a never ending battle for these precious animals to try to survive.
In the past the wolf has been hunted,torchered and slaughtered out of fear and ignorance.In the present the torcher goes on,so does the-ignorance.
The wolves just want to live their life in peace.But in Canada and Alaska,the wolves cannot live a life of peace.For hunting the wolf is still legal in those 2 states.The precious wolves fighting for their life every day.
Shooting wolves from airplanes,helicopters and snow mobils are considered legal hunting in Canada and now Alaska has joined the club.
Alaska passed a 5 year aerial wolf kill plan from 2003-2008.With this plan,they chase
the wolf by plane,when the wolf is exhausted from being chased,they land the plane,then shoot the exhausted wolf.
Or sometimes the wolf makes the fatal mistake of trying to run from planes and snow mobils,gets caught in the deep snow (unable to move) the hunters aim and shoot to kill.Either way it is not a fair sport at all.And this has been going on since 2003.
The object of this-idiotic plan-in Alaska is to control the wolf population to boost the moose population.
Beam Me Up Scotty!
Many people of Alaska & elsewhere have voted against this plan,but as usual government officials are not hearing the voice of the people.
Just because some won't be satisfied until the wolf is just a memory & their howl never to be heard again.
