This summer, Alaska wildlife agency personnel staked out a known wolf denning site – a practice that is illegal under Alaska law – and, using helicopters, gunned down 14 adult wolves from the air.

When they landed, they found 14 helpless pups in the nearby dens – infant wolves just weeks old – and methodically shot each one in the head. 28 wolves gunned down in all.

Due to a loophole in federal law, Alaska is the only state in the
U.S. where a few hunters still use aircraft to shoot wolves or chase
them to exhaustion before landing and shooting them point blank. But
the practice of "denning" – the killing of wolf young in the den – is
prohibited even under Alaska law. This killing of 14 wolf pups disturbs even longtime hunters in Alaska.

During her two years as governor, Sarah Palin proposed a $150 bounty
for the severed foreleg of each killed wolf and introduced legislation
to make it even easier to use aircraft to hunt wolves and bears. But
it's time that Governor Palin call for a thorough investigation into
the killing of these 14 wolf pups, and bring any Alaska employees who
acted illegally to justice.
