Governor Palin Supports Aerial Hunting of Wolves

[KenH]

So this issue, in the scheme of things here, is like wetting your pants in a dark suit.

Not for me.

I think that anyone who aerial hunts wolves should be locked up in prison for at least 10 years.

"We faced an approximately $750,000 campaign from our opponents -- including Safari Club International and a $400,000 state-funded campaign approved by Governor Sarah Palin and the Alaska legislature. They used deceptive propaganda and the authority of the Alaska government to defeat the ballot initiative.
.
"But thanks to the generous support of Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund activists and donors, we were able to reach thousands of voters. Yesterday, over 75,000 Alaskans voted to end this barbaric practice.

"Despite this loss, we're not giving up -- Alaskans for Wildlife will continue to hold the state Board of Game's feet to the fire and redouble our efforts to end this brutal program."

Any decent human being who has seen the videos of this practice would be sickened by it.

If Alaskans think they need to kill the wolves then they should do so however they want. If hunting them down using helicopters works well then that saves them time and effort. The federal government should just keep out of it. Some want Washington deciding about mouse traps, bug spray, fish hooks, stun clubs, etc. but I don't think that's the federal government's business. In fact, I'm not even convinced it's the state governments' business.

Is that okay with everyone?

Absolutely not. You are not allowed to disagree with anyone for any reason. Work on it. Get some counseling if you need to.

I think we ought to protect the moose and caribou that are getting eaten by these wolves. Isn't that good?

Not for me.

I guess it's a good thing that no one cares what you think, either.

At least they aren't killing babies ... cuz that's protected. Don't need a ballot initiative there. Think about the irony ... We can pass a bill to protect wolves but not babies. And we can vote for those who think that makes sense.

No. That is an issue between the animals. Let them settle it.

 

[StefanM]

I've seen a video of this. It's a non-issue.

 

[KenH]

It's an issue with me. If it isn't with you, Stefan, then why are you posting in this thread?

 

[StefanM]

You're using it to attack Gov. Palin. I support Gov. Palin, and that's why I'm posting.

Thank you Pastor Larry, I was about to post the same thing.

Why in the world would killing wolves be an issue to Ken when killing babies isnt?

Abortion is an issue with me.

Abortion is an issue with me.

Yes we know it is...you support pro abortion candidates.

Yes, this barbaric practice needs to be stopped. There is no place for such barbarism anywhere in the United States.

I see you using a lot of loaded language here. Please explain just exactly what it is that makes shooting a wolf from the air so barbaristic. What's the difference in shooting a wolf in this manner as opposed to shooting one from a tree stand or while standiing on the ground?

 

[KenH]

I am opposed to the senseless killing of wolves. Period.

 

[Bible-boy]

That would be fine by me. The states are, in actual practice, really just administrative units of the federal government nowadays.

If you sincerely hold to the above statement you really ought to call the Heritage Foundation and get one of their free copies of the US Constitution.:tonofbricks:

 

[ajg1959]

I am opposed to the senseless killing of wolves. Period.

But you have no problem with the senseless killing of unborn babies, period......oh wait, I know......you are against abortion but you support candidates that promote it?

While I'm on this, what about deer hunting? Why is there even a deer hunting season?

There is deer hunting because we humans have killed off all the natural preditors of deer. If left unchecked deer overpopulate and end up starving and dieing from sicknesses. There already is a huge problem in some urban areas because of the overpopulation of deer. In several Maryland counties more deer are killed each year by being hit by cars than by hunters.

Maybe we should ban driving cars to protect the deer. :laugh:

What natural predators of deer?

there are more deer here now than there were 400 years ago because of the crops we plant and the deer eat, and because of conservation.

What predators? Dinosours?
