Sarah Palin is once again promoting the shooting of wolves from helicopters and started a big promotion of  it again the weekend of March 14, even though it violates legistration.  Fifty-eight wolves have been killed already, with the possibility of 250 or more.  This also includes gassing pups in their dens.  She also has declared war against black bears (she wants to slaughter 60% of the population), and does nothing to protect endangered species such as the bulga whale and polar bears.

Palin is even willing to clash with the federal government on the policy of aerial killing of wolves.  Gryphen posted on March 19 about how the ”predator control programs” hide behind the fallacy of keeping a predator/prey balance to help the subsistence hunter, who is trying to feed his family the way his people have done for thousands of years, but then either severely restrict the subsistence hunters access or forbid him to hunt altogether in favor of rich trophy hunters. Sarah Palin’s policies favored urban and out of state hunters at the expense of subsistence hunters over the years.

Eye On Palin (Defenders Action Fund’s campaign to expose Gov. Palin’s anti-wildlife agenda has attracted the support of actress and activist, Ashley Judd) – lots of information and ways you can help.

Legistration is in the works to strengthen the law to stop this slaughter, we need to contact our Congress and Representatives and make sure it passes.  Then we need to keep vigilant and help Alaskans to get the laws enforced.  Read more here, Sarah Palin and the Wolves.

Helen posted a list of ways we can all help stop this senseless slaughter, here is a brief excerpt: 
1. RESPOND and get educated on the issues and the false information that Sarah Palin uses to justify the killing.  (Video here)
2. MAKE A PHONE CALL and pass along information and encourage others to add their voice to the protest  - it’s easy, you do it every day, all the time. Dial the US Fish & Wildlife Service &  CALL the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service M-F 8am – 8pm at 1-800-344-9453, select option “3” (for endangered species) and hit “0” to speak with the operator. comment on the de-listing of the Grey Wolf from the Endangered Species Act, decry the “collateral damage” to brown bears that will occur because Alaska has decided to kill 60% of the population of black bears. Mention the fisheries crises and overfishing which hurts rural village food supplies, mention that Beluga Whales in Cook Inlet need protection from Palin’s toxic dumping and drilling policies.
3. EMAIL SARAH PALIN! (http://gov.state.ak.us/govmail.php) Politely let her know how you feel the her wildlife policies and encourage her to change.
4. READ MORE so you are armed with facts, and pass on the information.  Truth about Sarah Palin and Wildlife in Alaska.
Alaska Wildlife Alliance – Pedator Control Facts.
Wolf in Govenor’s Clothing.
Palin’s Faith Based Science Creates Policy.
5. WRITE TO YOUR LAWMAKERS!  Defenders of Wildlife has it set up to make writing in easy, HERE.  Be sure check out other issues and information on the site.
4. WATCH AND SHARE this  video about the dire situation facing the Beluga whales to anybody who still doesn’t know about this issue:  Palin’s Toxic Billions and Belugas
5. CONTRIBUTE if you can to the Alaska Wildlife Alliance to help them protect the wildlife. Every little bit helps.
6. BECOME AN ACTIVIST, START A PROTEST, OR MEET WITH AN OFFICIAL, WRITE AN EDITORIAL. Defenders of Wildlife has a lot of information on defending wildlife in your community.
7. ADOPT A POLAR BEAR HERE – they have lots of cute gift too for various donation levels, so you can shop for gift as well as help the polar bears.

There are many other ways to help Alaskan wildlife and wildlife every where.  I urge everyone to do what they can, become active and stay informed.   Mother Earth needs our help to protect her creatures.

Bright blessings, Lady Rose
