Palin's barbaric record on killing America's 'protected' wildlife

thanks for posting this like most people i still don't know that much about Palin. the only unfortunate thing is what the ad fails to explain, is why their would be legislation having to do with encouraging the killing of wolves and other wildlife. It is obvious that their has to be some reason she voted the way she did, I'm just saying, its probably not that bad, maybe their populations had gone unchecked for to long

bss05g, the hunting of wolves and bear is mostly done for sport or to keep the competition for elk and deer away from hunters. It's cruel, unfair and totally unnecessary. There is no overpopulation of wolves and bear in Alaska!

The use of aircraft to shoot or harass animals from
the air is illegal under the Airborne Hunting Act, enacted in 1972. The act was passed after a nationwide outcry against the aerial hunting of wolves in Alaska

The circumstances surrounding Alaska’s
program make it clear that the state is allowing aerial hunting, which is banned by federal law. The state exploits a loophole in the AHA to allow private hunters and private pilots, rather than Alaska Department of Fish and Game personnel, to “control” wolves from the air or chase them to exhaustion and shoot them from the ground.
The hunters are allowed to keep the pelts as trophies or sell them for profit instead of turning them over to
wildlife officials. This spring, the state went so far as to offer a reward of $150 for each left foreleg of wolves killed within designated areas and turned into state officials. A state court identified this as a bounty, which is illegal under state law, and halted the program before any bounties were paid.

Dont forget about the baby wolves, that starve or freeze to death because their mother was murdered.

Well what did you expect? Of corse big oil has both Palin and McCain in their back pocket. Shes a republican. They all suck up to the big oil companies.
Look how she treats the local endangered wildlife population in Alaska. Do we really want her to treat all the endangered wildlife across the USA with such disregard?

Watching those wolves die almost made me cry. How can anybody do that to an animal for "fun"? I understand the need to hunt for survival, food, etc. But nobody in N. America needs to hunt wolves for survival. They should be a protected species.

If you want to hunt,go hunt a bear with nothing but a knife. Then you can call it a sport. If this is how she treats defenseless animals, then what can we expect from her if she has even more power. Guns are for protection, not murder.What a great mother.

I don't see how this is going to turn Palin supporters off on Palin. It's like the abortion thing. I'm sure a lot of people who are on the fence as to who to vote for might like the fact that she's against abortion. Similarly, I'm sure a lot of people might like the fact that she enjoys hunting--regardless of whether or not the species is endangered.

Over the past 8 years the "Endangered Species Act" has been put through the ringer and the appropriate funding has been on a decline. The issue with Ms. Palin can be taken out context, particularly now-being so close to November. If you think she is breaking the law-then without a reasonable doubt, you need to prove it and then persue a heavy conviction.
Legal, lawful powers virsus activism-its a tough one.

Good Luck!

Loves meh some wolvies....stop the the non renewable resources NOW!!!!!

And she still finds the time to put the fun in her dysfunctional family-a microcosm of her actual poitical prowess & laughable qualifications as a serious V.P. candidate other than her ability to handle a shotgun better than Chaney.

I think perhaps the Republican party needs to back off of this Amazoness portrayel of Palin at the risk of making her seem sociopathic.

That wouldn't look great on top of the rest of what's wrong with her.

Devilbitch.

Watch the movie "Never Cry Wolf", understand that the biologist in the story is a real one, who actually lived that story and over 40 years ago returned to the government that contracted him to study the wolves and proved to them through science (that Palin's community hates) that wolves are no threat to humans, they don't take all the caribou, and they survive for most of the year by eating mice.

Palin is a cretin, to use an old term...wolves are better people.
