This is a disgrace. There is absolutely no reason to allow this.

botanicaldays.bsky.social•43 days ago

This breaks my heart: more senseless slaughter of wild animals by an Administration that fails to value life of any kind, except when it fulfills their greed.

koldwar.bsky.social•43 days ago

This is appalling! F U Alaska!

primearts.bsky.social•43 days ago

Do people like, forget animals are needed??????

afterdusk10.bsky.social•43 days ago

To help fight back, support Wildlife for All (a coalition the Wolf Conservation Center is part of). They are working hard to reform wildlife management on the state level so that the public has a real voice and native carnivores like wolves & bears are respected and valued. https://wildlifeforall.us

How do we🛑ths? Is ths a state action only?They'll kill off the wildlife &whn some undiscovered disease emerges&comes 2kill thm, bc they eliminated natural protections,ppl will be running 4a cure.There are reasons why wildlife are on the planet. Humans aren't smarter thn the 🌍&certainly aren't God!⚖️

Back in my school days, we learnt about nature balance, ecosystems and biospheres. They are fragile and self-regulating.
I’m not sure how this plan that’s been highlighted will help maintain a fragile balance.

sbannac.bsky.social•43 days ago

WTF???

emlins6371.bsky.social•43 days ago

That's so awful 😖 😪

boofshitto.bsky.social•43 days ago

This program isn’t to boost caribou and moose. It’s to allow trigger-happy nutjobs to slaughter wolves.

defeline.bsky.social•43 days ago

Barbaric. What can we do to make our feelings known?

spulmonarx.bsky.social•43 days ago

Is there anything we can do to try to stop this? Do none of these people not see the evidence of how the ecosystem balances itself out when we don’t interfere?

sunnysaundra.bsky.social•43 days ago

Despicable.

stasha-ann.bsky.social•43 days ago

I'm sick to my stomach

aninewforest.bsky.social•43 days ago

Does it have to be wolves? I'm about to volunteer to be gunned down instead. I'm running out of reasons to stick around...If the earth is going to be overpopulated with idiots like that and all wild beauty gone.

aninewforest.bsky.social•43 days ago

Helicopter hunting is big business. That's all you need to know. There's no science in any of their decisions.

kelll029.bsky.social•43 days ago

So that’s what they used as a promise for more votes?

doc-huff.bsky.social•41 days ago

This is fuckin barbaric.

blackbette.bsky.social•43 days ago

💔😭💔😭💔

ziggeroonski.bsky.social•43 days ago

Will that renew the hunting of helicopters that are hunting wolves and bears? You only get away with something if you are allowed to.

griswaldo.bsky.social•43 days ago

At some point, i.e right now, you realise that the reason behind decisions like this is because many people simply enjoy killing animals for the sake of it and don’t think they’re deserving of any kind of respect

nywolforg.bsky.social•43 days ago

This program will allow hunters to kill 80% of wolves (until only 35 wolves are left in the region), 80% of black bears, and 60% of brown bears.

revpaf.bsky.social•43 days ago

Good grief. No mercy even for animals.

juanrive.bsky.social•40 days ago

Horrible

doc-huff.bsky.social•41 days ago

Barbaric

blackbette.bsky.social•43 days ago

💔😭💔😭💔

silverhowl.bsky.social•43 days ago

Only 35 wolves?? This is outright disgusting, terrible in its own right, but only leaving a small population with little genetic diversity remaining?? They might as well kill them all off then!

jfrv.bsky.social•43 days ago

Don't give the idiots any ideas.

silverhowl.bsky.social•43 days ago

Figure of speech, but no yeah you’re right, I’m just so dumbfounded by this, and absolutely horrified at the same time!

alaskan-dreams.bsky.social•43 days ago

State proposes killing 100 wolves a year to benefit moose between Denali and Lake Clark parks https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/wildlife/2024/12/22/state-proposes-killing-100-wolves-a-year-to-benefit-moose-between-denali-and-lake-clark-parks/

nywolforg.bsky.social•43 days ago

Biologists have long opposed the ruthless killing program and highlight that the primary threats to caribou and moose are disease and a lack of food - not wolves and bears. Climate change has also slowly shifted the caribou habitat.

wheredafukarwi.bsky.social•43 days ago

This right here highlights a big problem with conservation "science". They always decide they need to kill animals in large numbers.

johnrowlett.bsky.social•43 days ago

The ‘right’. Doesn’t do science at all, or much in the way of critical thinking and logic.

wheredafukarwi.bsky.social•42 days ago

To be clear, I fully support knowledge and science. Just a fact that the arrival of "the scientists" strikes terror into the hearts of many a conservationist through the decades.

windyla7.bsky.social•42 days ago

Sad and scary

shanevlcek.bsky.social•43 days ago

Are they still allowing moose and caribou hunting in these areas?

arissarox.bsky.social•41 days ago

Of course, that's really the point. It's their money maker.

teriredbird.bsky.social•43 days ago

omg it’s a nightmare

alululululu.bsky.social•43 days ago

Don't forget about them just straight up cutting down their habitat, can't even be fixed since it'll take a hella long time for any planted trees to become an old growth forest

rosamariaav.bsky.social•35 days ago

Someone protest, do something to stop this horrible brutality of these monster men.

minorkey68.bsky.social•39 days ago

Omg

lam904.bsky.social•43 days ago

This sickens me. What can we do to prevent this ?

jfrv.bsky.social•43 days ago

Maybe Earthjustice or Center for Biological Diversity can tie them up in court, if they can afford to do so.

lam904.bsky.social•43 days ago

Agree! Tied up in court seems the way to go these days! I hope a good organization will get involved. It breaks my heart

canray.bsky.social•43 days ago

Does Canada need to paratroop in more wolves?

crowel.bsky.social•43 days ago

shortbreadfairy.bsky.social•43 days ago

Hope the helicopters crash

laurabloomify.bsky.social•43 days ago

This is when I wish I was a billionaire so I could buy vast tracts of land and resettle them there. So that in fifty years everyone - human and other animals would be thanking me for it.

originalheystefany.bsky.social•43 days ago

All the work we've put into conservation and they're throwing it out the window. We raised their numbers so they can survive and now they're gonna kill them all.

lizzymatheson.bsky.social•41 days ago

Oh. My bad… I thought this was the Wolf Conversion Center

magicmonkster.bsky.social•42 days ago

Not a fair fight u gun toting morons.. why don't you go bear 🧸 to man 🧍‍♂️ (chicken 🐥)

starlight18.bsky.social•43 days ago

Why go to Mars? There’s nothing to kill there. /s/not really

froghollow.bsky.social•43 days ago

Killing off predators so they stop killing the prey they survive on so humans can then kill those same animals -for fun.
Got it.
I hate this place.💔

witwarrior.bsky.social•43 days ago

Oh bloody hell. Leave them alone!! Is nothing sacred?

melbleuciel.bsky.social•43 days ago

The horror! This seems to bear the fingerprints of Don, Jr. & Eric — those savages.

lynnschmidt.bsky.social•42 days ago

Absolutely barbaric. Men with big guns trying to make up for their small body parts by hunting down defenseless animals.

groveofpears.bsky.social•43 days ago

jfc this is horrifying. Is there anything random people on the internet can do to help? Very willing to sign/email/repost/share/whatever has even a Tiny chance of helping.

God didn’t create animals for us to slaughter them. But to live beside them

foggymac.bsky.social•43 days ago

It's unnatural and unsustainable to cull healthy predators to maintain a healthy stock for people to stalk and shoot. It's nuts!

atomsandsky.bsky.social•43 days ago

Who the hell moves all the way to Alaska - or chooses to live in Alaska , with all its wild beauty - and wants to MURDER its wildlife?!? You hate wildlife? Move into town! Move to Chicago. Wtf!!

And who AUTHORIZES this brutality?!?

And what population VOTES for this extermination?!?

WTF?!?

romeothedog.bsky.social•43 days ago

I can’t even

vix8n.bsky.social•43 days ago

They’re arnt even hiding it any more they just want a reason to kill just for the heck of it

coffeeandwoodsmoke.bsky.social•43 days ago

There was a landslide of public comment against this regressive and horrific policy (mine included)—completely ignored by this state, as usual. It’s shameful. I hope it’s litigated.

jawlineaddict.bsky.social•43 days ago

Is there anything we can do? Reach out to groups or politicians?

tamiguitar.bsky.social•43 days ago

How to increase numbers

Quit hunting

All wild animals - unless you actually live off them

tovacat.bsky.social•43 days ago

It’s beyond horrible.

dog-the-wag.bsky.social•43 days ago

When you decimate a top predator from a region you deplete it on every level-all you have to do is look at Yellowstone pre vs post wolf-

dog-the-wag.bsky.social•43 days ago

I wished I believed in hell so I could at least be comforted that the people who push the policies would at some point pay a price for it.

jesseking.org•43 days ago

You don't need to believe in hell to understand that there are consequences to any and all actions good and bad. "Hell" or "heaven" will always be brought upon those that instill it. The Creator works on a different timeline. With or without believers. 😇

mrsngaribay.bsky.social•43 days ago

People are absolutely disgusting…awful people.
