A state judge recently ruled that the state of Alaska's regulations, upon
which their aerial gunning program is based, were illegal, giving wolves a
temporary reprieve. The Alaska Board of Game immediately scheduled an
emergency meeting to address the deficiencies the court found.  At this
meeting, the Board adopted new regulations, which were filed January 26th.
This action allows the state to issue new aerial gunning permits.  Aerial
gunners are expected to be operating very soon. More than 400 wolves have
been killed over the past 3 winters and the new plans target approximately
400 more.

Please sign petitions to Interior Secretary Norton, to stop this barbaric
and needless practice, from here:
