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.

A reminder that wolves are a keystone species and are *essential* to the wellbeing of their ecosystem. Eliminating them from their environment can cause an ecosystem to collapse. They continue to be villainized but they are not the problem and, in fact, keep everything around them in balance.
Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse...

AK is set to resume its brutal aerial gunning program that targets wolves and bears, all to boost caribou and moose numbers - even though the state's own evaluation suggests the killing isn't resulting in more cariou and moose.
Alaska to resume ‘barbaric’ shooting of bears and wolves from helicopters
Renewed program would allow hunters to eliminate up to 80% of the animals on 20,000 acres of state land

No executive order has the power or the right to tell you who you are. F*ck that noise. Surround yourself with love, and when you’re ready, get back in this fight.

We need you. 🫶🏽

Sure is a bad time to be a person who cares about things.

Some of y’all are not pacing yourselves and giving yourself space to rest and restore your reserves.

The barrage of terrible news is designed to exhaust you and make you numb for what’s next.

Don’t react to every news bite. Don’t even read all of the stuff that’s happening.

Find joy where you can, show support for people on the margins where you can, and let’s help each other through, that is what I am saying.

I know this sounds weak, I know it.

But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other.

We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.
