THE WEEK, Page 16HEALTH & SCIENCEEt Cetera
STOP! DON'T SHOOT!
The state of Alaska made an abrupt about-face on its plan to
destroy hundreds of gray wolves next year. In an effort to
attract more tourists and big-game hunters, state officials had
announced in November that they would cull the state's
7,000-member wolf population (wolves are not endangered in
Alaska). They argued that the move was needed to boost the
number of caribou and moose on which the wolf packs generally
feed. But a growing boycott of Alaskan cruises by some of the
very tourists the state had meant to attract forced officials
to cancel their plans.
