Helo Gunners Kill Wolves Better

(Anchorage, Alaska) Too many wolves are threatening the moose population in Alaska say the authorities. Efforts to cull the wolf packs using low-flying airplanes have been inefficient so Alaskan Fish and Game officials have proposed using helicopter gunners to more effectively blast the snarly canine predators.

Only 38 wolves have been killed this winter and state biologists want ten times that number to be riddled with hot lead.

The idea is politically volatile and was rejected by previous administrators. John Toppenberg of the Alaska Wildlife Alliance said he wouldn't support the use of helicopters. Apparently, there has been no proof that moose need emergency protection by wantonly murdering close-knit families of nature's precious creatures.

Gov. Sarah Palin's approval is being sought. She's mulling.
