WARNING: These GRAPHIC PHOTOS show dead wolves -- the raw, horrible aftermath of Alaska's out-of-control aerial wolf-killing program.

On March 14, 2009 Alaska wildlife officials used helicopters and spotter planes to carry out Governor Sarah Palin's escalating wolf-killing program. The operation claimed the lives of 84 wolves -- and the killing only stopped when officials couldn't find any more wolves in the area.

Although Alaska officials have claimed copyright to these photos, they were obtained through a public records request. Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund believes the public has a right to know the truth about Alaska's brutal aerial wolf-killing program. (less info)
