This lioness is being dragged to her death! #CannedHunting is the hunting of captive-bred animals in a confined area from which they cannot escape. The pictures below speak so many words and shows the gruesome, unforgivable pain that these #lions go though everyday! There are around 12,000 lions in captivity, while there are just 3,000 in the wild In #SouthAfrica.
The state of #Alaska recently killed more than 100 brown #bears, gray #wolves, and other important #carnivores — shooting them from #helicopters in a misguided attempt to boost the #Mulchatna caribou herd for hunters.
Each year the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service gives Alaska millions of dollars for state wildlife management projects. By law, that money can only go to states that have demonstrated their commitment to wildlife conservation.
Alaska doesn't deserve the money until it changes its law that requires the slaughter of bears, wolves and other carnivores.
The federal #government shouldn't be in the business of killing top predators for hunters' benefit. Tell the Fish and Wildlife Service not to give Alaska any more conservation funding until the state conserves — not kills — its wildlife.
#Wyoming's wolf hunting season has been open for 12 days -- and 3 #wolves have already been shot and killed on #Yellowstone 's doorstep.
How many wolves will get caught in a hunter's crosshairs this year? Trophy hunters will be allowed to kill dozens in the hunt areas outside Yellowstone National Park.
