predator control

ALASKA Dept of FISH & GAME and AK BOARD OF GAME and Governor SARAH PALIN have accelerated the

AERIAL GUNNING

of wolves and bears in a large part of ALASKA.

$400,000 of ALASKA'S tax money has been used to convince Alaskans

why this is needed, using ADF&G-biased and one-sided propaganda presentations.

ALASKANS VOTED TWICE TO STOP AERIAL PREDATOR KILLING AND

over 86% of ALASKANS ARE OPPOSED TO THIS BARBARIC PRACTICE.

ALASKA Board of Game addresses

• Alaska Board of Game represents LESS THAN 20 % of Alaskans

Six of the Seven ALASKA BOARD OF GAME members are all members of AK Outdoor Council

including Governor Palin (As in Big Game Hunters)

The seventh member was Sarah Palin's high school basketball coach.

•Why not a BALANCED & FAIR Alaska Board of Wildlife?

PLEASE remind Governor Palin that her Alaska Board of Game is not her own personal hunting club.

These people are deciding the future health and balance of Alaska's ecosystems.

The 7 people who are affecting Alaska's balance seem to forget that Alaska is a world treasure.

IT SHOULD NOT BE MADE INTO THEIR GAME FARM.

We need members who are non consumptive and/or are

Biologists or Scientists who actually decide on REAL facts.

It appears that the present AK BOG decisions result from their gut feelings

or emotional connections with the NRA.

• Governor Sarah Palin is spending $400,000 of Alaska's tax money to

RE-EDUCATE the public on predator control

This BIASED DATA Propaganda Presentation is shown at schools and

other public Alaska places, and is disputed by over 1500 reputable REAL scientists in

ALASKA and WORLDWIDE.

This propaganda data is disputed even by many internal personnel at ADF&G that say

the data is not valid to support the extreme predator killing that is being approved.

AND there is NO mention of the extreme cruelty of this no-fair-chase slaughter

that Governor Sarah Palin promotes wholeheartedly.

• Goal: 100% ELIMINATION of ALL Predators in MCGRATH AREA

FYI in 2000, ADF&G claimed there were only 850 moose present and there was a crisis

with subsistence hunters unable to get enough moose.

A year later when a thorough census was finally done -there were actually 3600 moose present!!

The first estimate of 850 was presented as if it was reliable when it was based

on a census they knew was inadequate.

The AK BOARD OF GAME THEN reacted with this new data by DOUBLING

their moose population objective to 7200 moose even though 3600 moose

were enough to support a sustained yield to satisfy subsistence demand.

This doubling of their so-called objective allowed them to launch the

AERIAL WOLF KILLING control program.

The BOG had no information at the time to indicate that the habitat

could support the higher number of moose.

And according to real people in this area -there is not enough food for that number of moose.

It appears so far that AK BOG makes up facts as they go so they can shoot wolves and bears from the air.

• Legalized bear baiting and shooting cubs, sows, boars

With NO PLANS TO STOP OR CURTAIL Ralph Seekins INFAMOUS BIG BEAR SLAUGHTER IN GAME UNIT 16B.

EVEN THOUGH AK BOARD OF GAME COULD INTERVENE THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING AT THIS POINT.

• WHY NOT MORE EFFORT FOR HABITAT MANAGEMENT?

IN THE AREAS WHERE THEY ARE KILLING 100% - 80% OF THE PREDATORS,

there is NOT ENOUGH FOOD for the Numbers of MOOSE or CARIBOU proposed by ADF&G AND BOG.

• WHY TRAP the 8 wolverines LEFT in Chugach State Park?

THIS LAST SEASON: 6 DOGS AND 2 WOLVERINES WERE CAUGHT

in inhumane conibear traps IN CHUGACH STATE PARK - ALL NEAR PUBLIC ACCESS AREAS.

15 Dogs TOTAL were reported caught IN TRAPS between ANCHORAGE and the Mat-Su VALLEY.

THIS IS ALL DUE TO THE RELAXED LAZY TRAPPING REGULATIONS APPROVED

BY Alaska Board of Game, as they adhere to A VERY EXTREME AND OUTDATED political

AGENDA approved by Governor Palin.

• WHAT AK BOG AND ADF&G CALLS SCIENTIC DATA:

IS MOSTLY GATHERED FROM PEOPLE WHO REPORT BACK AFTER THEY ARE

AERIAL KILLING WOLVES AND BEARS.

(Kind of like the fox guarding the hen house..)

Very Little ACTUAL UNBIASED ADF&G DATA EXISTS TO SUPPORT THIS RADICAL

MISMANAGEMENT OF ALASKA'S WILD LIFE. AND IT IS ALL APPROVED BY GOV PALIN

AND incorporated into HER $400,000 propoganda slide show.

• OVER 1500 SCIENTISTS CLAIM That ADF&G DATA IS WRONG.

AND MANY SCIENTISTS AT ADF&G CLAIM THAT THE DATA IS WRONG

• WHAT HAPPPENED TO THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS?

WHAT ABOUT TRUE REPRESENTATION OF THE REAL ALASKAN PEOPLE

ON THE BOARD OF ~~GAME~~ WILDLIFE?

WASTED MEAT - IT SHOULD BE A REAL CRIME

CALL any of the AIR Taxi Services in Alaska and you can get on a meat wait list and you might get some meat

but most of it gets thrown out or donated to the zoo.

TONS of moose and caribou meat -that is flown in - is unfit for HUMAN consumption and THROWN AWAY because they are killed by Big Game Hunters' clients from OUTSIDE ALASKA, who want the BIG Antlers

or photos and they then ship in the meat with no care whether it is salvaged for humans or for the garbage.

PLEASE ASK GOV PALIN TO MAKE IT A PUNISHABLE CRIME TO WASTE THE MEAT OF WILD GAME NOW!

IF THEY HUNT -THEY MUST BE PREPARED TO ENSURE THE MEAT DOES NOT SPOIL IN TRANSIT, AND THEY MUST ENSURE THAT IT IS USED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.
