WHOO HOOO!
I have been an animal rights activist for all my life and have been consciously working to the humane treatment of animals, especially in Alaska where the Palin administration have total disrespect for all of life.
Aerial hunting is illegal in 49 states. And wolf hunting season is only in the winter when the ground is covered with snow so that the wolves can be easier tracked by planes. Since the land is snow covered, the wolves have no place to hide and run frantically searching for refuge. The planes fly close to the ground to exhaust the wolves.
Then shoot them in the hip or back, allowing the wolves to suffer in excruciating pain. It is NOT A CLEAN KILL, like many hunters are proud to perform. (A clean kill is done quickly with one bullet or arrow so that the animal doesn't suffer.) You can see the wolf biting at his hip trying to get the bullet out. And then he gets shot again, perhaps again.

;;.From the Humane society:
"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.
What's more, when the Bush Administration announced its decision to list the polar bear as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, Palin filed a lawsuit to reverse that decision. She said it's the "wrong move" to protect polar bears, even though their habitat is shrinking and ice floes are vanishing due to global warming.
The choice for animals is especially clear now that Palin is in the mix. If Palin is put in a position to succeed McCain, it could mean rolling back decades of progress on animal issues
