ALASKA
Alaska has a deadly predator control program. They passed the ”Intensive
Management Law in 1994″ which gives the Board of Game the power to order the
Alaska Department of Fish and Game to kill increased numbers of predators if they determine the moose or caribou populations have a decline.

Wolves and bears can be killed to boost game numbers, which in not based on science but politically driven, just as wolves are killed for agribusiness in the Northern Rockies. Their excuse for the law and “intensive management” is many Alaskans depend on caribou and moose for sustenance. Of course Alaska is not going to run out of ungulates because of wolves and bears. This is a terrible ”management tool” that persecutes wolves and bears. It’s similar to the persecution gray wolves suffer in the Northern Rockies, who may be
