The following alerts and information all come from Defenders of Wildlife, leaders in the protection of America’s endangered species. Please donate whatever you can and participate in the action alerts to save our wolf populations.
At least 56 wolves are dead in Alaska — the latest victims of the state’s brutal, unpopular and needless aerial killing program. And the death toll will continue to climb as spring’s longer days make it easier to kill wolves using airplanes… and even helicopters.
Worse yet, even as Alaskans prepare to vote in August on aerial gunning, Governor Sarah Palin and the legislature have launched a stealth campaign to maintain this brutal practice.
Donate $50.00, $40.00 or whatever you can afford to run television ads through next week and save these wolves and other wildlife.Alaska’s politicians have stooped to new lows in their efforts to kill wolves. With the help of the Alaska Outdoor Council and other lobbyists, Palin and other politicians are quietly pushing bills in the state legislature to deny Alaskans their right to vote on key wildlife issues — bills intended to stop this summer’s vote on to limit ending aerial gunning of wolves and bears!
Don’t let the lobbyists and their politicians get away it. Please donate now to help us ensure that the voices of Alaskans are heard.

My upstairs neighbours are from Kenya and I recently wrote on my blog about their asking me for items I didn’t want anymore and which I could give them for donation. I hope things get better there. (I found you through Absolute Write.)
Good for you for doing something to help.
I’m sorry, I commented on the wrong post- meant, obviously, for it to go in the ‘Cookies for Kenya Wildlife post. Sorry.
No worries, mate. Thanks for stopping by.
