Entire families of wolves and bears could soon be shot at from airplanes and killed in their dens due to a recent Congressional vote. Though Republicans claim the votes for the Bill was a states’ rights issue, most Alaskans opposed the new deregulation, and several Alaskans voiced their concerns during the public comment period. Wildlife protection organizations have worked for years to prohibit practices like these in all states, but they will now be allowed in the state of Alaska.

Wildlife biologists strongly oppose the measure, and not just because of its unnecessary cruelty and inhumanity. Wolves, bears, and other predators play a significant role in their environments, and hunting these animals can lead to unintended environmental consequences, such as overpopulation of prey species. The impact of this new measure could result in environmental devastation in Alaska.

Innocent animals and their cubs should not have to fear being shot and killed in their own homes by flying human intruders. Please sign this petition to condemn Congress’ decision to prioritize the interests of unethical hunters over ecologically important animals in their natural habitats and ask Trump to not sign this bill into law.
