Did you know that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin promotes the brutal aerial killing of wolves?
You didn't?
Well, that's what actress Ashley Judd claims in a new ad for the Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund.
Even worse, according to Judd, Palin is "casting aside science and championing the slaughter of wildlife" (video embedded below the fold):
What's astounding here is that nowhere in the ad is the viewer apprised of why the wolves are being hunted, or the history beyond this policy. Instead, as graphic video rolls of a wolf being shot, Judd says, "Using a low-flying plane, they kill in winter when there is no chance for the wolves to escape."
Ummm...that's the point. After all, the wolves aren't being hunted for sport. They're numbers are being intentionally reduced to increase the population of moose and caribou which Alaskans depend on for food and wolves prey on.
Even the liberal website Slate recognized such in a piece published last September called "Aerial Wolf Gunning 101":
Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska and John McCain's vice presidential pick, is an enthusiastic hunter who has proposed legislation and cash incentives to encourage aerial wolf gunning, the controversial practice of shooting wolves from an aircraft. Do people in Alaska really shoot wolves from planes?
Yes, but only with the government's permission. Aerial shooting yields better results than traditional hunting, since it allows the hunter to cover a lot of ground quickly and track target animals from a clear vantage point. Historically, hunters also used planes to drive animals—polar bears in Alaska and elk in Montana, among others—toward gunmen waiting on the ground. But many hunters found the practice unsportsmanlike, since it violates the "fair chase" ethic, and animal rights activists call it inhumane, since airborne gunmen rarely get a clean (i.e., relatively painless) kill. In response to concerns like these, Congress passed the Federal Airborne Hunting Act of 1972, which made it illegal for hunters to shoot animals from a plane or helicopter.
The federal legislation (PDF) does have a loophole for predator control, permitting state employees or licensed individuals to shoot from an aircraft for the sake of protecting "land, water, wildlife, livestock, domesticated animals, human life, or crops." (This doesn't just apply to wolves; coyotes and foxes are sometimes gunned down from aircraft, especially in Western states.) Since 2003, Alaska has issued aerial wolf-hunting permits in select areas where moose and caribou populations are particularly endangered. The idea is that by killing the predators, the airborne gunmen can ramp up the number of moose and caribou that human hunters can take home for supper.
The need for this practice is addressed by the Wildlife Conservation division of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game:
Wolves and bears are very effective and efficient predators on caribou, moose, deer and other wildlife. In most of Alaska, humans also rely on the same species for food. In Alaska's Interior, predators kill more than 80 percent of the moose and caribou that die during an average year, while humans kill less than 10 percent. In most of the state, predation holds prey populations at levels far below what could be supported by the habitat in the area. Predation is an important part of the ecosystem, and all ADF&G wolf management programs, including control programs, are designed to sustain wolf populations in the future.
The Alaska Board of Game approves wildlife regulations through a public participation process. When the Board determines that people need more moose and/or caribou in a particular area, and restrictions on hunting aren't enough to allow prey populations to increase, predator control programs may be needed. Wolf hunting and trapping rarely reduces wolf numbers enough to increase prey numbers or harvests.
Currently, five wolf control programs are underway that comprises about 9.4% of Alaska's land area. The programs use a closely controlled permit system allowing aerial or same day airborne methods to remove wolves in designated areas. In these areas, wolf numbers will be temporarily reduced, but wolves will not be permanently eliminated from any area. Successful programs allow humans to take more moose, and healthy populations of wolves to continue to thrive in Alaska.
The hunting of wolves as predator control is also not a new practice. According to Defenders of Wildlife, Alaska began paying bounties for wolves back in 1915, and started aerial hunting in 1968. Since then, aerial hunting has been a well-debated but often-used method of trimming the number of wolves to maximize the population of other wildlife.
More recently, the Alaska legislature expanded the practice in March 2000, and reinstated it in 2003 with the signature of then Gov. Frank Murkowski. As such, given the history -- and the wildlife preservation component -- Judd's hysteria is rather preposterous.
Yet, that shouldn't be surprising, for the attack on Palin might be much more political than animal protection oriented given the following posted at the Action Fund's website Monday concerning this issue (emphasis added):
Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund today launched a national campaign to expose Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's renewed anti-conservation agenda. The Action Fund first highlighted Palin's record in Alaska during last fall's presidential campaign when it ran TV ads across battleground states, highlighting Palin's championing of the brutal and unnecessary aerial killing of wolves and other carnivores.
"Sarah Palin isn't fading into the background, so neither are we," commented Defenders Action Fund President Rodger Schlickeisen. "Given her known political aspirations, the American public deserves to know what she's doing in Alaska, and about her extreme anti-conservation policies. The list is long, and we will document it all, from her continued promotion of the aerial slaughter of wolves and bears, to her lawsuit to remove the polar bear from the endangered species list, even as the sea ice melts beneath it."
Fascinating. So, if Palin faded into the background and didn't have national political aspirations, this group wouldn't consider it necessary to inform the public about this? Doesn't that imply the entire campaign is about bashing the Governor and NOT saving wolves?
Such seems likely given the group's displeasure with a $150 bounty that Palin had proposed for the severed foreleg of each killed wolf. As the Associated Press reported in 2007, there was a reason for this proposal (emphasis added):
The state is offering incentives for people who kill wolves in an effort to boost Alaska's predator control program, which so far has failed to meet expected numbers.
"Several factors have led to a low wolf take this winter, so we're going to step up our efforts to meet the annual objectives in this important program," Commissioner Denby Lloyd with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game said in a statement Wednesday.
The program, now in its fourth year and operating in five areas of the state, is designed to increase moose and caribou numbers by reducing the number of predators.
The incentives include offering 180 volunteer pilots and aerial gunners $150 in cash for turning in legs of freshly killed wolves, Gov. Sarah Palin's office announced Tuesday.
The state will use the left forelegs of wolves as biological specimens, which can help biologists determine wolf age and will assist the program in the future, Lloyd said. [...]
The Palin administration is anteing up cash because the number of wolf kills this winter is behind schedule. State biologists wanted 382 to 664 wolves killed by the time the snow that helps with tracking disappears this spring. The predator-control season ends April 30.As of Tuesday morning, 98 wolves had been killed by aerial gunners, hunters and trappers.
Not surprising, the Judd commercial didn't address the reason for the bounty.
Any wonder why?

February 3, 2009 - 19:04 ET by 5kidsnadogI wrote them a nice e-mail about how short-sighted it was to complain about the culling of the wolves. Surely they would be able to understand that there are actual human beings who don't have a Costco nearby to pick up plastic wrapped steaks when they run out of caribou because the wolves ate them first. Also, many people are not financially able to make 400 mile trips to their "local" grocery to buy high priced food. Beyond that, these wolves live every second of their lives free until the culling, as opposed to the cows, pigs, and chickens that are slaughtered by the millions in this country. Beyond that, it is the height of hypocrisy that the very same people who cry for the wolves losing a foot after their death are the ones who stand shoulder to shoulder at abortion rights rallys screaming for the right to dismember the unborn.

February 3, 2009 - 19:21 ET by RR GOPI wonder what the Judd clan back in Kentucky would have thought if they were told one of their progeny were feeling sorry for wolves? They'd probably be almost as shocked as her taking her clothes off for the flickers.
One of the 24% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 89% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.
JUDDgment day
February 3, 2009 - 19:29 ET by Jack BauerJudd is, of course, an extremist PRO-ABORTER. Maybe she get's a bounty on the severed forearms of babies, who knows?
But imagine this: it's suddenly realized that there are too many ANIMALS on the planet.
In order to control this vast population of animals, scientists invent a "species-specific" air-borne abortion chemical which can be sprayed in the wild and causes, for instance, WOLVES to abort their pre-born cubs.
Wanna bet Ashley Judd and the rest of the Kate Naral pro-abortion extremists would be more outraged about that, than aborting human beings?

February 3, 2009 - 22:38 ET by WesenStrong recommendation here for the use of the Dillon Aero MI34D 7.62mm for Wolf medicine. The reduced weight of titanium with sceletonized parts makes it easy to move from craft to craft. Its slender profile allows it to fit nicely in a helicopters side door. Enhanced accuracy, virtually no recoil and with an average of 30,000 rounds between stoppages it is the ideal choice.

She would be a joke, if she was relevant in the slightest.
WTF is Ashley Judd?
February 3, 2009 - 23:44 ET by LoosMooseSorry.. I have no clue who Ashley Judd is... probably because I read literature and enjoy classic films. I thought she was the sister of the guy that does the 10:00 PM weather in Peoria, but I read she was getting naked in films. Yeeeeouch.... and she said shooting wolves was cruel??? With all the really hot girls out there... man.... that's about the same as trying to get a good plate of enchiladas in London.
I had a nightmare that Keith Olberman was run over by a bus,....... and lived.
Ashley Judd Has No Depth Or Range. . .
February 4, 2009 - 01:10 ET by Asian ConShe plays the same character in every movie she's in. Usually the heroine, in a movie, being stalked by a psychotic, sociopathic, homicidal maniac. Kind of like Vin Diesel, the same character in every movie.
This is the same woman who, at a pro abortion event, said, "It's good to be an American again." I really wish these celeb-utards would STFU when it comes to politics and stick to what they know best. Which isn't much. Why do they think we care anything about what they have to say? Most of them never even finished high school.
I try not to think about their radical views, actors and musicians, while I'm watching their flicks or listening to their music. But it's getting harder and harder. Every single one of them is a flaming liberal! I like rock music but, most of the bands I like are America bashing, Kool-Aid drinking idiots. Rage Against The Machine, System Of A Down, Coldplay. They all have made incendiary, idiotic comments that make me want to puke.
Any Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld fans here? I like this guy. He skewers the left with humor and wit on a nightly basis. He has a segment called The Greg-a-Logue. Which is basically a short monologue on the politics of the day. I posted a transcript of one relating to this topic.
So this afternoon I was walking down Sixth avenue, when I came across a homeless person. Now, normally I kick them hard in the face. But for some reason, I changed my mind. Instead - I gave him all the money in my wallet.
I don`t know what came over me – but I`m thinking – it had to be Obama.
I mean– since the inauguration, it`s clear we`re all experiencing a sense of heightened caring – a change in the way we look at the world. Or more important, America.
And, ourselves.
I mean, the other day – I was driving around in my white panel van, playing homemade "ice cream truck" music out of a makeshift speaker tied to the roof. And then I thought to myself: A week after Obama`s been sworn in, with "such a feeling of hope in the air for our country" as Ashlee Simpson pointed out so eloquently in her blog – what I`m doing is wrong.
I should be helping teens, not helping myself to teens.
Right there, I changed.
I credit Obama.
And, can I tell you how much I hated America - up until recently? I hated it so much it made me a jerk. I was rude to waiters, I screamed at my assistants – I even threw a slightly damaged cucumber at my pool boy.
It wasn`t even his fault – but the price he paid was dear.
But now – I`m just like Ashley Judd - who, at a bash for NARAL`s birthday ( isn`t it funny when an abortion rights group celebrates a "birth" day!), she said "It`s so nice to live in America again."
She`s right: if it wasn`t for Obama, the US would be evil, I would be a jerk, Ashlee Simpson would be making fun of fat people, and Ashley Judd would be hissing like a deflated tire.
I mean, it`s amazing how one man in just ten days can change all of us. And it`s also encouraging to see how the way celebrities look at America is so dependent on who's in charge. I mean, the strength of our country certainly isn`t based on its democratic process, its shining example of freedom, its effortless and relentless desire to help other countries, or how it invents nearly every life-saving drug or marvelous fast food.
No – it`s down to one dude.
The top dude.
Obama.
It`s because of him, I`m now taking decoupage classes.

February 4, 2009 - 14:33 ET by Asian Conmillions to make these movies! These movies could be done on Lifetime or the Oxygen network. I agree with you when you say that celebs are looking for a way to feel important. I think that they realize their profession has no socially redeeming value. So they take up a political cause to feel like they're making a difference. We need police officers, fire fighters and doctors. We don't need actors or movies. Yes, they provide a nice distraction from the humdrum of life. But, that's all it is. Nothing more and nothing less.
You know, the first time I saw the title Red Eye, I thought it was a show about the airline industry. So I tune in and hear the bathroom humor, double entendres and sexual innuendos. I think WTF is this show doing on FNC. It has grown to be one of my favorite shows.

Governor Palin Releases Statement on Defenders of Wildlife Campaign
February 3, 2009, Juneau, Alaska – Governor Sarah Palin released
the following statement today in response to attacks by the Defenders
of Wildlife:
“It is reprehensible and hypocritical that the Defenders of Wildlife
would use Alaska and my administration as a fundraising tool to deceive
Americans into parting with their hard-earned money.
“The ad campaign by this extreme fringe group, as Alaskans have
witnessed over the last several years, distorts the facts about
Alaska’s wildlife management programs. Alaskans depend on wildlife for
food and cultural practices which can’t be sustained when predators are
allowed to decimate moose and caribou populations. Our predator control
programs are scientific and successful at protecting vulnerable
wildlife. These audacious fundraising attempts misrepresent what goes
on in Alaska, and I encourage people to learn the facts about Alaska’s
positive record of managing wildlife for abundance.
“Shame on the Defenders of Wildlife for twisting the truth in an
effort to raise funds from innocent and hard-pressed Americans
struggling with these rough economic times.”

Jesse Jackson's Newest Staff Member
Jesse Jackson has added former Chicago Democrat Congressman Mel Reynolds to Rainbow/PUSH Coalition's payroll. Reynolds was among the 176 criminals excused in President Clinton's
last-minute forgiveness spree. Reynolds received a commutation of his
six-and-a-half-year federal sentence for 15 convictions of wire fraud, bank fraud, and lies to the Federal Election Commission. He is more notorious, however, for concurrently serving five years for sleeping with an underage campaign volunteer.

with a subordinate...then was hired by a clergyman who had sex with a

These Actors Drink the Same Koolaid
February 4, 2009 - 04:56 ET by Rush FanRecently I saw actor Noah Wyle (Dr. Carter on ER) somberly soliciting funds in a commercial so that polar bears would survive the eminent global warming catastrophe. I didn't watch long enough to find out how the funds collected would save the polar bears. Perhaps the plan was to relocate the bears to Al Gore's estate.
Do these Hollywood libs like Judd and Wyle really believe they are making a contribution with this crap, or is it that they want to be accepted by their fellow Screen Actors members so they will not be blacklisted (as Hollywood conservatives sometimes are)?

February 4, 2009 - 14:20 ET by CobraMan"Do people in Alaska really shoot wolves from planes?"
No, they use helicopters as planes move to quickly and are not very maneuverable, and that makes targeting a lot more difficult. A helicopter, by comparison, can remain relative motionless over a target, even a running target, so accuracy is increased dramatically.
