As if we needed reinforcement, this AP article reviews some of Sarah Palin's positions on the environment and those creatures who live (or try to) in it.
I think we've got a winner to describe Gov Palin, courtesy of the Alaskan Wildlife Alliance: Cut, Kill, Dig and Drill. And they add that "she is 'in the Stone Age of wildlife management and is very opposed to utilizing accepted science.'"
And to bring home just how wonderful her policies are....
Under Palin, the state Board of Game authorized for the first time in 20 years the shooting of wolves by state wildlife officials from helicopters. The order resulted in the controversial shooting this summer of 14 one-month-old wolf pups taken from dens on a remote peninsula 800 miles southwest of Anchorage - an act that environmentalists claim was illegal.State officials characterized the killings as humanitarian, saying the pups would have suffered and eventually died without the care of their parents. Environmentalists argued they were killed to boost caribou populations to the benefit of hunters.
Just to be clear - Palin supports the killing of wolf pups so she and like minded hunters can kill caribou without interference from wolf packs? It's enough to make Michael Vick smile.
