SARAH PALIN SUPPORTS SHOOTING WOLVES AND BEARS FROM AIRPLANES
We really have to protect our country for this ego maniac.
Governor is Strong Proponent of Controversial Alaska Program
Washington, DC - Alaska Governor and GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is a strong promoter of the aerial hunting of wolves and bears, a practice that has been condemned by conservationists, scientists and many hunters alike. It involves shooting wolves and bears from the air or chasing them to exhaustion and then landing and shooting them point blank. The animals, shot with a shotgun, usually die a painful death. The hunters involved in the program keep and sell the animals' pelts.
"Sarah Palin's anti-conservation position is so extreme that she condones shooting wolves and bears from airplanes or using airplanes to chase them to exhaustion and then shoot them point blank. Most Americans find this practice barbaric, but it's routine in Alaska under Palin's leadership," said Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund president Rodger Schlickeisen.
Sarah Palin has supported aerial hunting since taking office despite the fact that the National Academy of Sciences, the National Research Council, the American Society of Mammalogists, and more than 120 other scientists have called for a halt to the program, citing its lack of scientific justification and despite opposition from many hunters who see it as violating the sportsmen's ethic of fair chase. Palin in 2007 even proposed offering a bounty of $150 per wolf, as long as the hunter provided the wolf's foreleg as proof of the kill. And just earlier this year, she introduced legislation to expand the program and derail a scheduled August 2008 citizens' vote on the issue. The bounty was determined to violate the state's constitution and her legislation failed.
"Sarah Palin's positions against America's wildlife could put her to the right of even the Bush administration," said Schlickeisen. "She is a promoter of one of our nation's most ugly and cruel wildlife hunting programs and Americans deserve to know her views on such matters before they vote."

raves +1 Sep 06, 2008 08:07PM GMT (edited)Sunshine can't help it she is old and still mad about the Hillary defeat. To make matters worse they put Palin on the McCain ticket, and we all know that Palin is no Hillary by any stretch of the imagination. lmao
-
raves +1 Sep 06, 2008 11:36PM GMTshe most certainly isn't..she is a fantastic dynamic and accomplished politician who has even more executive experience than Hillary..and who has drawn millions of votes to the McCain/Palin ticket in the past week.. millions that used to be Hillary supporters..yes.. and even some Obama supporters.. we have been truly pleased and somewhat surprised at the movement. All great for the country tho.

raves Sep 06, 2008 11:53PM GMT (edited)Ok let me get this straight Sunshine said "she most certainly isn't..she is a fantastic dynamic and accomplished politician who has even more executive experience than Hillary." In all your anger you have truly lost your mind. I don't believe you were ever a Hillary supporter, so now I know how to address you from now on. The ture Hillary supporters are outraged by the thought that Sarah Palin is her suposated replacement.

raves +1 Sep 07, 2008 05:11AM GMT (edited)of course I was.. I still am.. what the hell ..you guys just don't get it.. Hillary didnt have executive experience either.. for goodness sakes.. get with the program will you.. go back to school and learn how to recognize truth. If Hillary was running I would be backing her.. she's not..they screwed her out of the nomination.. so I am supporting the safest and most meaningful (and it becomes more meaningful every day) ticket..McCain/Palin.. to be honest.. I would be voting for anyone else.. as long as Obama does not get in our white house. By the way.. just so you know.. there are hundreds more Hillary supporters joining us every day again.. Palin has attracted a lot of women especially but some guys are also coming.. hang on to your hats..
-
raves Sep 07, 2008 05:13AM GMTby the way.. sorry to tell you...but being as I am friends with thousands of Hillary supporters and they in turn are friends with thousands of others.. and so on.. we entail now about ten million women.. 90% of us just absolutely love Sarah.. we can live with some things we don't like for 4 years and see how it goes.. For me and the party.. I doubt I will ever return to the backstabbing, lying, cheating, self centered assholes that now run this party called the Democratic Socialists of America.

This does not set well with me at all. It's time to write some letters to our local newspapers about this and let others know about this.

raves +3 Sep 06, 2008 03:38PM GMT (edited)It’s more than that. Why did she try to sell the state jet on e-bay? Incidentally the state treasures finally sold it for a ½ million dollar loss. Then she purchased a sea plane? You can’t shout from a jet.

raves Sep 06, 2008 08:11PM GMTBut you can shoot shit from that sea plane... and I am willing to bet the farm that she has shot a few animals from that plane.

raves Sep 06, 2008 05:13PM GMTEXCUSE ME .. DID YOU EVER HEAR OF WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT ??? maybe before you post you should educate yourself..?? that would be an idea .. dont you think?? This is a common practice in areas of huge expanse especially, which Alaska certainly is..it is not feasible to go on foot or ATV to hunt down these animals.. Or perhaps you think that it is better to not have Wildlife management?? that animals should be left to die inhumanely due to lack of food..?? or that they should be allowed to overpopulate (certain predator species) and kill off other wildlife that would be their prey..prey that are sources of food for a large portion of the population in that area?
where the hell are your priorities?? There used to be a fee paid for the noses of seals who overpopulated the coastline of North America and who devoured the fish which were an important food source for humans.. I believe in environmental health but certainly humans are at the top of the list..not to say that every other species should not be of great value..but people must eat to survive and fish is a very important source of protein and omega fish oils which are essential to human life..not to mention jobs to provide that source to the marketplace. I think you need to think before you post.. educate yourself.. -
