Welcome to the Protect Yellowstone board! Please feel free to discuss any issues that you feel are pertinent to keeping Yellowstone clean and beautiful. Petitions are welcome here as well as thoughts on certain issues such as allowing snowmobiles into the Park, the reintroduction of wolves, ect. It would also be nice to hear why Yellowstone is so important to you and to describe your first park experience.

Also, as this page is about Yellowstone, please only post subjects that are directly related to the park. Subjects on politics, while interesting, are not relevant here. There are other political groups that would be places for such topics. If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to contact the hosts.

Please help the dogs of "SOSCoky" - the Canile of Santa Maria di Castellabate, Campania, Italy - in signing our petition. The area of the Canile is placed at a former rubbish-ground without infrastructure. There is no electricity and water. Many of the dogs are sick - suffering of Leishmaniose, Ehrlichose or other diseases. Already five years ago the municipials have promised a new area for the Canile, but 'till now nothing has happened. It is time for keeping promises now!! Join our petition please! Thank you!!

  Blog: New Wolf Video to Share  
Hello,

We have become concerned about all the negative press concerning Alaska's wolves attacking dogs and especially the CNN coverage recently: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2007/12/22/alaska.wolf.attack.cnn?iref=videosearch

We just finished a video intended to give viewers evidence of wild wolf behavior they are probably unaware of.

We in no way intend to downplay that caution and good judgement must always be used with animals.  However, it's important that people realize that a wolf who is unafraid of people is not always a danger to people.

Our video highlights common behavior of wild wolves unafraid of humans in Denali National Park. Please share this with people tempted to overreact to recent headlines.

  Blog: You Can Stop Alaska's Aerial Wolf Hunting Program!  
Rep. George Miller has introduced legislation that would close the loophole in the Federal Airborne Hunting Act. The Protect America's Wildlife (PAW) Act will end Alaska's ability to skirt the law, terminate it's aerial wolf hunting program, and prevent other states from doing the same.

We encourage you to contact Rep. Miller (George.Miller@mail.house.gov ) and your legislators (http://www.house.gov/writerep/) and encourage them to support and/or co-sponsor this bill. You are welcome to refer to the following letter that lists reasons to do so.

The Honorable George Miller
United States Congressman
2205 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515-0507

Dear Representative Miller,

As Alaska residents for almost three decades, we applaud you for introducing the Protect America's Wildlife (PAW) Act, and want to provide you with information no one else can offer. This letter has details on the following items that can support the passage of your bill:

1. 2004 video footage of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Regional Supervisor stating the Department could not support or justify predator control, and the Board of Game approving it anyway.

2. 2004 video footage of a Board of Game member saying the Governor required sound science to justify predator control, and that they did not have it.

3. Studies conducted for the McGrath Adaptive Management Team proving over hunting was the reason for the alleged lack of moose in McGrath, Alaska, not wolves, but that data was buried and wolf control was implemen ted.

4. Detailed descriptions of how the McGrath Adaptive Management team calculated the harvest needs for area residents, only to have ADF&G and the Board of Game ignore those facts and set goals at historic, artificially high numbers.

5. Harvest records showing that predator control benefits urban hunters more than rural hunters because, by law, in Alaska every hunte r, even doctors and lawyers in Anchorage, are considered "Subsistence Hunters".

6. Evidence that the Intensive Management Law that Governor Palin cites was pushed through the Legislature in order to establish historically high harvest goals.

7. 2003 video footage of an Alaska Native and former Board of Game member saying that some Alaska Natives feel morally compelled to literally kill everything in sight. "You're well aware of some of the traditional beliefs. If an animal offers itself, you don't insult the creator by not taking it."

8. Although less than 15% of Alaska residents hold a hunting license, the official newsletter of the Board of Game is called "All You Can Eat." http://www.boards.adfg.stat e.ak.us/bbs/newsletter/volume2/v2n2.pdf

Blog: We Can End Aerial Gunning of Wolves: Sign Petition!  


Each year in Alaska, hundreds of wolves are chased down and killed by gunners who shoot them from planes or, after chasing them to exhaustion, land the plane and shoot them at point-blank range -- brutal, inhumane and unnecessary practices that could start in Wyoming and Idaho as early as this Fall.

Rep. George Miller (CA) has crafted legislation to fix the Federal Airborne Hunting Act to close a loophole that would curb this cruel practice. But he needs your support to win passage of this wolf-saving measure.

Fill out the form below to sign on as a Citizen Cosponsor to close the loophole in the Federal Airborne Hunting Act and we'll hand deliver it to your Representative. As a Citizen Cosponsor, you’ll be joining the chorus of tens of thousands of Americans who support putting an end to aerial gunning of wolves.

Sincerely,

Rodger Schlickeisen
