Warning: Contains graphic footage of aerial gunning of wolves.
Easy targets against fallen snow, wolves can be gunned down from airplanes or chased to exhaustion, then shot at point blank range. Since 2003, nearly 900 wolves have been killed by aerial gunners. It's a brutal practice, captured here in this video.
Over the past 5 years, Alaska’s aerial hunting program has claimed the lives of more than 800 wolves. During these hunts, wolves are shot from the air or chased by airplanes to the point of exhaustion before the pilot lands the plane and a gunner shoots the animals point blank.
Despite strong scientific, ethical and public opposition to aerial hunting, Governor Sarah Palin has…
- Proposed paying a $150 bounty for the left foreleg of each dead wolf.
- Approved a $400,000 state-funded propaganda campaign to promote aerial hunting.
- Introduced legislation to make it even easier to use aircraft to hunt wolves.
Please Help Us End Aerial Hunting of Alaska’s Wolves!

TheMasterPlan13:
Because the majority of the population doesn't care. They are apathetic, and wolves dying doesn't affect them in any way.
I think its horrible, a waste of a life, and unfair to the animal. I doubt these trophy hunters do anything with the meat other than throw it away.
But I don't see anything wrong with hunting if you do it by foot, using little more than your skills as a tracker and a rifle. As long as you do it sustainably and use everything when you kill the animal.
