Washington, DC — The State of Alaska illegally diverts millions of dollars in federal wildlife conservation aid to support prohibited predator control that dispatches hundreds of wolves and bears each year to increase the number of moose and caribou, according to a complaint filed today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service which administers the federal funds. The complaint seeks to bar Alaska from further aid until it repays all misused money with interest.
