In this issue of Earth First! Journal John Green brings news from Alaska regarding the suspension of killing wolves. In addition, Carolyn Moran, the editor of magazine Talking Leaves, discusses tree-free paper and waste, and Judi Bari reveals the secret history of tree spiking. 

Reacting to tremendous public outcry against their methods and incompetence, on December 1 the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) indefinitely suspended this winter’s wolf-kill. In a disgusting incident which probably typifies the state’s methods, four wolves were caught in wire snares and left to struggle. One of them chewed off its own leg.
