Aflac: Don't "Duck" the Rocky Mt. Elk Foundation Issue

Aflac, through its partnership with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF), is supporting the spread of anti-wolf myths and hysteria that are directly resulting in the death of wolves in the Rocky Mountains. David Allen as CEO of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation has publicly stated that shooting wolves from planes and gassing them in their dens are appropriate actions—so much so that RMEF is willing to fund killing wolves. Aflac kicks back a portion of commissions of insurance policy sales to the foundation.

Anti-wolf rhetoric—the kind practiced by Mr. Allen—is a form of biological bigotry. And like all bigotry his messaging relies on a framework of selective “facts” and innuendoes unsupported by broad experience and science. Please sign our petition because Aflac needs to hear from you so that it understands that these anti-wolf sentiments are out of step with prevailing science and the desires of the majority of their customer base. 

Aflac: Please Stop Supporting Anti-Wolf Activities and Biological Bigotry Through Your Partnership with the Rocky Mt. Elk Foundation.

David Allen as CEO of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation has publicly stated that shooting wolves from planes and gassing them in their dens are appropriate actions—so much so that RMEF is willing to fund killing recovering gray wolves.

Mr. Allen's ongoing extreme positions and hatred-filled hysteria he is spreading about wolves runs counter to science and is out of touch with the desires of the majority of Aflac's customer base.

We, the undersigned, urge Aflac to sever its ties with the Rocky Mt. Elk Foundation until the organization refocuses on its important mission of ensuring the future of elk, other wildlife and their habitat.
