In face of strong opposition on many grounds, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has continued aerial gunning of wolves from helicopters and planes. Over the past 6 years, almost 1,000 Alaskan wolves have died this way. This year, already 66 wolves have been aerial hunted near the Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve, gunned down by the Alaska department of Fish and Game staff.
It gets worse. The Palin administration has just authorized gassing wolf pups in their dens and setting up snares around den-sites.
