Arial Hunting of Wolves
Mr. Rudy Wittshirk wrote in his article in the Anchorage Daily News that Alaskans did their best by trying to stop or reduce the aerial killing of wolves by voting against it, but they failed and the game board allowed their friends to hunt wolves using their private aircraft. “Shooting wolves from aircraft is the inevitable consequence of a delusional game management program based on … delusions”, and they are as following. First, Most Alaskans depend on moose meat for food and survival. Second, Wolves attack moose herds in popular areas of motor hunting. Third, the nature, no matter what, will provide us a large numbers of moose even though we are killing wolves by aircraft, and we have all of this mechanized population in Alaska.
After what Mr. Wittshirk wrote in this article, we see that there are some facts and decisions made out of delusions and a “dirty game”, and the author tries to stop those delusions from spreading into people’s minds. Alaskans and the rest of the people around the world who are concerned about this problem are affected or tricked with what media shows and information that the game board, who also some how have their effect on media, introduce. We have to make Alaskans aware of such unreal facts and show them what really they are by changing the media view of this problem, or by making some arrangements such as lectures for discovering what the positives are and what the negatives of this problem are. That way we can change the picture of the facts that the game board planted in the Alaskans’ minds so they can oppose, as a land owners and citizens, the airborne hunting of wolves even more than before. In order to succeed in doing that, we should approve the opposite of these “delusions”, as Wittshirk named, as following.
Actually, Alaskans do not depend on moose meat, according to what Mr. Wittshirk wrote in his article. We should make people aware of that by not selling moose meat for a while and seeing what happens and show Alaskans that they will not notice it. After we do that, maybe we should make Alaskans stop buying moose meat. As a result, people will start to care less about moose and would stop or hunt wolves from aircrafts a lot less than before.
Alaskans know that fact that they are exposed to a much bigger danger when they allow aircraft teams to hunt in a disorganized way, but probably they don’t care about it. Aircrafts are machines that work on fuel. They are very expensive and their fuel is also expensive and causes a lot of nature pollution. The pollution of the aircraft not only affects the people in Alaska, it also affects the animals and nature and causes a lot of diseases and natural damage. We should put an end to the airborne hunting by reducing the use of aircraft and other machines. We should raise the price of the aircraft fuel, and that way airborne hunting teams are going to stop the airborne hunting as the time passes when they notice that it is costing them a lot to have their pleasure and kill and hunt wolves by using aircraft.
The government should do research to find out what the real dangers to the moose are other than wolves, and make laws and rules to not allow such things to be done. As I mentioned before, aircraft and other machines cause a lot of pollution and damage the nature, which in turn will reduce the number of moose that survive and live in nature. Besides, aircraft flying at low levels does really upset animals and make them run away to a safer place. So not only are the wolves dangerous to moose, but humans are also.
To reduce the airborne hunting of wolves in Alaska, we should reveal the truth about the delusions that the game board created, and to do that we should do as follows. First, educate people and make them know that moose isn’t the only source of meat and their survival doesn’t depend on it. Second, decrease the use of aircraft and other supportive machines that cause a lot of damage to the nature which moose lives depend on. Finally, we should not allow aircraft to fly above areas that have big numbers of moose and wolves, because it will upset them and make them move away, which in turn will reduce the number of moose in Alaska.
