Default Aerial killing of wolves and bears

Apparently Palin is actively against a proposal to ban the practice of chasing wolves and bears to exhaustion and then shooting them from planes, despite the fact that Alaska voters have twice approved state ballot initiatives to restrict the practice.

http://www.defenders.org/newsroom/de...ng_program.php

Let's be clear up front: There are no reasonable arguments supporting this state program. Scientists have repeatedly complained about the absence of scientific justification. The slaughter ignores the respect most people feel toward wildlife, while many hunters denounce this extreme practice as violating their sport's ethics of "fair chase." And Alaska citizens have twice voted to outlaw the use of aircraft to kill wolves and other wildlife.

Wow, this is a big issue to me. Far bigger than Obama's support of 4th trimester abortions. Human babies ? Bah. Wolves ? Absolutely.

A partisan attempt to segue?

Her husband being a native American have a history of hunting that wouldn't make sense to a lib elitist. They actually hunt to get subsistance up there, they aren't trying to be fair to the wildlife, they are trying to put food on the table Patter's . Her hubby is a blue collar guy in real life, you don't understand.

No, I was giving an analogy of why it's not an important issue to me.

I'm not a big fan of hunting personally but it's very legal and very popular. OK, some people don't like this particular type - it doesn't pass the sniff test as important enough to be mentioned in this election.

I'm sure there are those working on it every bit as hard as others are working on labeling Obama an empty suit or a Marxist.
