WOLVES IN GREAT DANGER! PLEASE HELP :(

This was copied and pasted from a private email:

I have horrible news from Alaska.

91 wolves have been shot dead under Alaska's new aerial gunning program in the last month. Your help is urgently needed: the plan is to kill 80% of the wolves in an 8,000 square mile area of Alaska.

Please help stop this barbaric practice by supporting Defenders of Wildlife's wolf protection programs! Help now: http://www.care2.com/go/z/12158

Aerial hunters gun the wolves down from the air, or chase them to exhaustion in the deep snow, then land and shoot them point-blank. Under the pretense of boosting moose populations for hunters, aerial hunters can even kill pregnant females and wolf pups. Numerous scientific studies show that wolves are actually beneficial to the overall health of natural ecosystems, and keep Alaska's moose and caribou populations healthy and strong.

Wolves, much like our family dogs, are pack animals with close bonds and family ties. But right now, they really need YOUR help.

Donate to our partner, Defenders of Wildlife, today: http://www.care2.com/go/z/12158

Your donation will help:

Shine the media spotlight on the barbaric practice of aerial gunning to provoke national outrage to stop it.
Persuade tourism companies in Alaska to call for a ban on aerial gunning.
Mobilize Alaska's citizens to demand legislative action to halt the killing.
Demand that Interior Secretary Gale Norton stop the killing as a violation of the Federal Airborne Hunting Act.

This is a cause worth fighting for. Plans call for up to 140 wolves to be killed in two areas by April 30th. We must act fast.

Show your outrage at this barbaric practice by donating today: http://www.care2.com/go/z/12158

Thank you for caring,
Randy Paynter
President, Care2 &
The Petition Site

PS. Wolves are closely related to our own family dogs. If your beloved animal companion faced the same fate, would you fight for her?

Please help today: http://www.care2.com/go/z/12158

Looks like a donation scam to me but I'm always pretty skeptical about things like this unless I know the person asking and have some insight as to what they plan to do with the money.
