War on Kenai wolves shows political game is out of control

The Alaska Board of Game (BOG) just declared war on the Kenai Peninsula wolves, voting unanimously in favor of aerial wolf killing in Unit 15A and Unit 15C. This was done in the face of a large outcry against it and not being supported by scientific data.

We can applaud our local advisory F&G Board for voting the proposal down with good reasons that BOG chose to ignore.

The proposed budget for this killing spree is upward of $1 million, this in a time when F&G budgets are being slashed. Not only do we have an unbalanced BOG but the Parnell administration has given gag orders to state biologists.

This political game is out of control and it is up to us, the citizens, to demand change. Contact Gov. Parnell, Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell and your legislators and let them know we are not going to take this anymore.
