Sarah Palin supports aerial wolf hunting. Tell me my friends is this alright with you?

Well even though I like the wolves, sometimes they need to be controlled so not too much food are taken away for the people who lives there. But now the people have gone too far and are killing way too much wolves. They should keep control of how many should have been killed. They SHOULD only kill IF there are too wolves and too less herbivores. But Sarah didn't set those limits and now the wolves are endangered. They should leave the wolves alone for a little while until they can make a recovery back to normal stats. Then when the wolves spread rapidly thats the time when they need to CONTROL the population. Nature needs to balanced...

this people r crazy...i'll want to knw what they will say if is something more than us and now say....is so many peoples here...so we have to start shooting them....BARBARS!!!animals be here for many yerars and we r d one who takes they homes and build our roads flats and all rubish like that...

Bitch you are a fucking pest!!

the wolfs should be left to roam as free as we are anybody caught shooting them or causing them harm in any other way should be put in a pit with half a dozen of them to teach them a lesson

amen honey..

But the only way to get to most of the overpopulated areas is in the plane. You do not want to mess with mother nature up there going cross country!!! Plus it is easier to spot the wolves by air.

Plus that video is from the 70's get up to date people!!

Thinning the wolf population so that they dont over-run an area i can understand, but letting idiots fly around and shoot them wherever they find them i dont agree with. They should do like we do in NY. The DEC watches the wildlife population, and only allows hunters to shoot certain varities of animals in areas where it is needed most. They issue licenses to hunters, but only for sections of the state that need it most, and when the population has been thinned out enough, they revoke the licenses until the population increases again. This plan that alaska has makes it sound like they are going to allow just any idiot with a gun to go where they want and shoot the wolves, which is just going to create more problems.

After years of research, it is recognized by practically all state and federal wildlife officials that predator management is a prerequisite for guaranteeing stable populations of prey species. Given that many Alaska residents rely on moose, caribou, and other wildlife species for food, it becomes imperative that those species not be decimated through lack of predator management.
The Alaska wolf management program accomplishes this.
It does so through a rigorously regulated, scientifically based system targeting only those predators in areas where wildlife populations are not able to reach adequate levels of sustainability in the program’s absence.

If it takes this...



to prevent this...



then that's the way is, like it or not.

I don't understand why someone would want to do that. Seriously, whats the point?!?!?!? Exactly! There is none!!!!!!

not thats not right. thats cruelty. they could find another way to take care of them a little more humanely if they need to lessen population. this is not the way.

I do not see it to be a good idea just to kill them for no reason. However Alaska has a very good reason, the high wolf population has greatly diminished the carabou population. Since they have started managing the wolf population they have seen great increases in the carabou population to safe levels and an increase in the moose population as well.

This was the suggestion of the DNR. Wolves were over populated in five areas. They almost depleted the moose population. It was down 80% of normal. Many folk living in these areas are dependant on the moose for survival. Action had to be taken and it worked. Wolf populations are back to healthy levels and the moose population is rebuilding. Trapping would normally keep the populations normal but the bunny huggers would rather fill up land fills with their petrolium based clothing than use a biodegradable renewable resource. Fur.

I understand if i were a rancher and wolves were killing my live stock I would kill them too... They are beautiful creatures though but I don't think they should be allowed to kill live stock..Or small children...

Whats the sport in that , and are they eating the meat after the kill ?

it is not hunt for sport it is protection of livestock...

It's still a hunt i might just have become a little hick after the last few year living away from the city , when i hunt i dont even use a tree stand .

Wolves are predators and they kill the animals that Alaska eats. Beavers are hunted, geese need to be hunted they are everywhere and killing people by flying into airplane engines. C'mon people, their are hunters out their that can verify this. Wolf populations need to be controlled.

But it doesn't count if you are not hunting them flying around and picking them off is not hunting it's just killing .

that's a dog.

There isnt much diffrence except that wolfs are vicious most of the time i just thought it put the topic in a diffrent light .

BS, you fall for that I have some land in Florida.
Wolves are predators this has to taken in captivity.

Well that was rude...

thanks for mentioning that, what would i do without people judging me. I would never get up in the morning. whatever.

Huh?

Yes they need to be killed but didnt we kill them to the brink of extinction like before .

NO

We only know about it because It's Alaska ,Sarah Palin Governor.Wolves have always been controlled in any State of the Union when threatening the natural food chain, by over population.Farmers often will even get paid for protecting their livestock.The film is propagandistic and aimed at damaging the Governor.Not to worry though ,my girl can take care of herself.

It is just propaganda they seem to hate her with such envious and jealousy, glad I am not a liberal. HAHA

They are not just pests, but Alaska practices population control of these animals to protect the game animals, which many Alaskans rely on for food. This film is a piece of propaganda made by the "defenders of Wildlife" to demonize hunters and Sarah Palin.
Regardless of how you feel about hunting, this is a legal means of controling the wolf population, the wolves in Alaska are no where near endangered, and the Alaska fish and game knows what they are doing. And the people of Alaska support them.

They are beautiful animals that unfortunately must be managed in order that other beautiful wildlife can thrive.

Look into the co-existance of wolves and moose on Isle Royale National Park. Not only did they co-exist, they actually depended on one another. I can see killing predators (it's a barbaric way to make a living) when and if they become too numerous and threaten domestic livestock or the ecosystem, but that's an extreme case.

This is done to control the population. If not, the wolf would soon wipe out other species of animals through predatory hunting.

Do a search on Isle Royale National Park and read about the co-existance of wolves and moose.

but is this really about the wolves or about palin. they have placeswher theye feed derr or any animal in the antelope family in small parksand reserves they are fenced in and domesticated i dont see anyone crying about that .

It's a barbaric way to make a living and as a sprot is on about the same level, or maybe lower, than feeding Christians to the lions.

Oh yes, the killing of humans, especially those damned Christians, is preferred to the killing of canines. That's why so many of the pro choice folks are anti-hunting, anti-meat eaters. I wish there were a way to make the entire animal kingdom just stop eating each other...then it would truly be a perfect world!

Oh come on now, I said MAYBE lower. Actually I'm against most any type of killing (except for food) including fetal abortion. In nature it is normal for predatores to kill other animals for food and we humans are, in fact, predators. Killing animals just for the thrill of it is barbaric. Now that I think about it, that's an insult to the Barbarians. Perhaps it's more a perversion of the "civilized" folk.

It looks like torture to me...disgusting that is to much suffering for any animal to go thru just for.......?.I'm not to familiar with this.Are they doing this to keep the population of the wolf down?Not that that justifies this cruelty.

It not only is it ok, it also is about the only way to do it. Thia keeps the numbers down, and allows the other wildlife to flourish.
It looks fun, too.
