Stayin´ Alive

"Survival of the close-knit pack is usually the most important item on the wolf agenda," says artist Judy Larson, "but for Alaskan wolves, just staying alive has become a full time job. State-sanctioned aerial gunning has taken the lives of more than 600 wolves and hunting by snowmobiles has increased. In Idaho and Wyoming, state officials are determined to annihilate wolves that wander outside of national parks. Wolves are fighting to stay alive. Only we can help them."
