Hollywood Shoots Down Palin's Aerial Hunting Methods
Sarah Palin, Governor emeritus of Alaska, is under fire from Hollywood for her handling of her state's wildlife population. How it handles WOLVES and BEARS, in particular. The scathingly, un-friendly ad campaign is aimed squarely at halting Alaska's wildlife management practices while it drums up traffic for Defenders Action Fund's new website.
Judd's narration of blind facts intercut with grim video of Airplane-hunting techniques and overt wolf- and bear-suffering is hard to watch. The message is undeniable: This practice is inhumane, appalling and needs to end.
Palin's camp issued the following statement:
"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. 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."

For Palin to even say that in the first place was a big mistake.

Good that she let the cat out of the bag, though. Now something can be done about it.
