I find it always intresting that the people who don’t live in Alaska or Idaho want to control what the citizens of that state does. Let me educate you on wolves. They are not cute cuddly things. They are blood thirsty killers with no feelings. They rip fetusus out of living cow elk and eat the hearts and then leaves the cow elk to die a miserable death. Now, it’s called states rights. I know that not everyone in Alaska wants to be a vegitarain. So, they kill to eat. What may I ask are they going to kill if the wolves wipe out the caribou, moose? Oh thats right just run down to the groccery store and buy a chicken or some vegies. Some people are so far removed from where your food comes from. You think that chicken just plopped down on your dinner plate? Mind your own business in your state.

Its my own viewpoint that the loss of palin won’t affect the wildlife groups that greatly regardless of how much their PR was targeting her as a figurehead of the pro hunting lobby.

for which she was just an extreme example in truth animal populations control themselves through the most basic of means availability of food supply, its only when we alter that balance we get problems..

By the way Judith I live where wolves were forced back onto us and I see the effects of wolves run amok. All other predators are hunted why not wolves? Because Defenders of wolves make a lot of money sucking up to touchy feely wolf worshippers like you.

The wolves that Palin has had the intellect to control, will kill until the prey is gone and then die or kill each other to survive and then the prey will return until the wolves kill it off again and the cycle continues up and down like a yo yo. If you manage for a constant you have more in the long run- basic math. Common sense escapes those that worship wolves.

I wouldk relish it if Palin would just get off her band box………..she just gives the entire world of women a “bad name” with her ‘winks”, “thumbs up” and inane remarks. It may bode well for her younger daughter if she ‘stays home” and makes sure there no more teen pregant girls in her home.

Nope – both Defenders and wolf control have been around a lot longer than Palin has. The challenges we faced before Palin will be with us after she is gone.

You can’t legislate ethics – the greedy commercial hunting industry rely’s heavily on that!

Sarah is a powerful spokesperson for animal rights and green living. Everyone listens to her. She is articulate, thoughtful, adorable.

I think this article is a bit irresponsible. Palin is not the only enemy of wildlife, yes she is a big thorn and supporter of killing anything in general but you do not have a handle on this situation if you think ppl who give money to support the well being of the animals are that control by Palin. As long as we have the kind of thinking that posters like Jay and Chris represent, ppl will give money to ensure this kind of thinking never sees the light of day……also removing Palin relieves a huge financial burden of continuous lawsuits to stop her…..

Defenders of Wildlife was founded in 1947. I seriously doubt Mrs. Palin’s aborting her job as AK governor will significantly affect this organization.

What’s of next concern is her replacement — making sure they value environmental science and respectful, sane stewardship.
