Palin - animal & enviornmental hater, too......

 Gov. Palin supports aerial hunting because the powerful Alaskan commercial hunting industry wants to eliminate nature's predators in order to inflate moose and caribou numbers so they can continue to cater to wealthy out-of-state trophy hunters. In June, her Dept. of Fish and Game pulled 14 wolf cubs from their den and shot them in the head after gunning down 14 adults, including their mothers, from a helicoptor. A total of 28 wolves were killed. It is against state law to kill nursing mothers and/or their young. Nobody has been held accountable. According to state wildlife policy, the fish and game biologists were required to look for a home for the orphaned cubs. Officials at the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage said they were never contacted, even though they would have taken in and sought permanent homes for the cubs. Nobody has been held accountable. Hoping to boost the number of wolves killed this year, Palin announced the state would pay $150 for each wolf kill. "Permittees will be paid $150 when they bring in the left forelegs of wolves taken from any of several designated control areas." Palin favors drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Her husband works for BP (formerly British Petroleum). She also opposes the listing of the Polar Bear as an endangered species out of concern that it might inhibit oil development off Alaska's Arctic Ocean coastline and has sued the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at taxpayers expense in favor of Big Oil's interests. McCain's VP choice is under ethics investigation for abuse of power in Alaska. She's about as opposite as Hillary as a candidate could be. It will be interesting to see what happens when she confronts the national media regarding her positions on Roe v. Wade, gay rights, creationism, aerial hunting, etc.
