Executed Wolf Pups are Palin's Responsibility

Tell Governor Sarah Palin: Alaska's Wolves Demand

Justice! http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AA8vr/WUpd/ANR12

Earlier this summer, reports emerged from Alaska that

wildlife personnel staked out a known wolf denning

site -- a practice that is illegal under Alaska law --

and, using helicopters, gunned down 14 adult wolves from

the air. When they landed, they found 14 infant wolves in

the nearby dens -- and shot each one in the head. No

other options were considered for the pups, such as

contacting local zoos for placement of the orphans.

28 wolves gunned down in all as part of Alaska's

predator control. Learn more: http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AA8vr/WUpd/ANR12

But the question remains: did wildlife personnel break

the law? "Denning" -- the killing of wolf young in the

den -- is prohibited under Alaska law. Alaska Governor

Sarah Palin presents herself as a pro-ethics reform

politician. Demand that Governor Palin stand up against

any illegal efforts to kill wolves in Alaska:

During her two years as governor, Sarah Palin proposed a

$150 bounty for the severed foreleg of each killed wolf

and introduced legislation to make it even easier to

use aircraft to hunt wolves and bears. But if she truly

believes in wiping cronyism out of government and

elevating the rule of law, then she must apply those

principles in all circumstances of the law.

It's time that Governor Palin call for a thorough

investigation into the killing of these 14 wolf pups,

and bring any Alaska employees who acted illegally to

justice. Please sign our petition to Governor Palin,

and urge her to get the facts in the open.

... This issue confuses the hell out of me... And I'm not pro Palin or any of that nonsense... But if I were her I would caught all of them & told the zoos they better take them & not release them back into the wild... Then again to some I'm a bit of a hypocrite & chances are anything big enough to bitch slap me like a crack whore & put me on it's menu is definitely getting shot in the face...

I am admittedly an animal rights nut and I have to say that hunting an animal from a helicopter is just incredibly fucked up. On top of that, Palin couldn't save these poor creatures and put them in a zoo. I think I'm seeing red.

Sounds like you've been watching too much Science Fiction.
