I know that wolves are not usual pets people keep and therefore some of you might think this video does not belong here, but ALL animals are my life. I cannot NOT post something like this on a website where there might be other animal lovers. This message needs to be spread out to as many citizens as possible. Thank you for your time.

I'm one of those old, tree-hunting bunny lover hippies. I'm DEFINITELY not a Republican. But I've listened to some comments on Sarah Palin, and I thought, finally, someone in politics for the right reason. Palin sounds like someone I could respect, if not agree with.
I couldn't watch all of that video; it sickened me. Although I'm sure there are two sides to that story, I can't imagine what the other side could be, or how anyone can justify that type of brutal killing of any wildlife. I guess this info swayed me away from her. Thanks for the heads up.

If you are pro-choice, be aware that she's a big foe of a woman's right to choose. I don't advocate any particular candidate, but anyone who plans to vote based on issues should know the candidates RECORD on things. We have suffered through how many administrations  bc people vote based on how likable a candidate is, rather than knowing what they stand for. Vote Republican, Vote Democratic, Vote Independent - but for heaven's sake: be informed!

I couldn't watch the entire video either. The thought of all that (in my opinion) needless, unsportsmanlike killing made me ill.
Aerial hunting of wolves was implemented to help control the population in the area. However, couldn't other means of control be used? With all our knowledge and resources, the fact that they chose this method says a lot about our culture, and how much we still have to learn.
Pray for them as they know not what they do.
Be blessed,

"(Palin's) record is so extreme that she has perhaps done more harm to animals than any other  current governor in the United States. Palin engineered a campaign of shooting predators from airplanes and helicopters, in order to artificially boost the populations of moose and caribou for trophy hunters. She offered a $150 bounty for the left foreleg of each dead wolf as an economic incentive for pilots and aerial gunners to kill more of the animals, even though Alaska voters had twice approved a ban on the practice. This year, the issue was up again for a vote of the people, and Palin led the fight against it -- in fact, she helped to spend $400,000 of public funds to defeat the initiative." 
-Mike Markarian  President  Humane Society Legislative Fund

When you remove predators from a wild life system, it justs upsets the balance on down the line.  There may be more moose and caribou (for ego driven trophy hunters), but there's probably going to be too many rabbits, voles, or whatever small critter lives in the frozen wilderness (what's left of it) of Alaska.  It seems like an unconsidered and uneducated way to handle a problem, if there is one, with predators.  I'm afraid that's the best we can expect from her, and we won't know until it's too late, since she won't answer any questions that aren't scripted for her.
