NEWS UPDATE (9/13/08):

 The Alaskan Board of Game even approved the hunting of black bear mothers and cubs with the goal of killing 60 percent of the black bear population.  Why?  Because it could restrict the oil industry that fills her pockets.  This is the same reason she wants to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil drilling. Read Governor Palin\’s ignorant op-ed piece here.  Palin believes that global warming is a myth.

Sarah Palin spent $400,000 of state money to "educate" Alaskans about aerial hunting of wolves and bears.  State tax money was used to directly influence the outcome of proposition 2 which would have limited aerial shooting of predators.  Since Alaskans had previously voted twice to ban aerial shooting of predators, Palin used state tax money to buy support for aerial shooting. Buying votes with tax money worked – proposition two was voted down on 8/26/08.  

Read more about Governor Palin\’s "predator control" policies and the use of state money to slaughter bears and wolves.

Sarah Palin\’s voting record supports development of the Pebble Mine – the largest open pit mine in North America.  Pebble mine jeopardizes the entire Bristol bay ecosystem which contains the largest sockeye salmon run in the world.  The mine could pollute an unprecedented number or rivers, lakes, and bays.  Although Palin claims that the mine would create jobs for Alaskans, it may effectively destroy the commercial and sport fishing industry in Bristol Bay – the main source of income for Alaskans in Bristol bay.  Pebble Mine\’s potential for pollution makes the Exxon Valdez oil spill look like a tiny grease stain.  Click here to watch the NY Times video story about the environmental destruction this mine would create.

Palin even appointed her former middle school basketball coach to the board.

No! 124 biologists contacted then Governor Murkowski expressing multiple concerns over predator control in Alaska, and that it was not based on sound science.  These unscientific practices still continue under Governor Palin.  There has never been a documented case of a wolf attacking a human in Alaska– ever.  Alleged “large” numbers of wolves are never a threat to human safety.  Click here to read wildlife biologist Dr. Steven Stringham\’s articles on why predator control is junk science.  

THE ALASKAN GOVERNMENT SPENDS MILLIONS ON AIR CHARTERS TO SHOOT WOLVES

Sarah Palin claims that aerial hunting is necessary to help poor Alaskans who need to hunt moose for food.  But it costs $500/hr. to charter a bush plane, and more than double that to charter a helicopter.  Let\’s do the math – with over 800 wolves killed to date by aerial shooting, with an average of four hours to kill them (a very low estimate), times $500/hr. to charter a plane (another low estimate, since helicopters cost more), that\’s at least $1.6 MILLION dollars spent on air travel to kill wolves!  Wouldn\’t it be easier to spend that money giving the poor food vouchers?  Add the nearly half a million dollars that Palin spent to "educate" Alaskans about aerial hunting, and you could probably feed the whole state.  I think it\’s obvious that aerial hunting of wolves is not about helping to feed the poor.

This year thousands of Alaskan bears and wolves will be shot for pleasure in Alaska

Palin: wrong woman, wrong message,controversial 2007 Katmai Preserve hunt (where bears habituated to bear viewers were shot) Palin posed deliberately next to a dead bear to a make a point – that she will do everything in her power to make sure bears and other wildlife are mercilessly shot for pleasure in Alaska.  This is another example of how conservative Palin really is.  Palin supports shooting habituated bears even though the majority of Alaskans (even sport hunters) are opposed to hunting them.

98% of the grizzly bears in the continental U.S. have been exterminated.

Sarah Palin is now doing the same thing to bears and wolves in Alaska.
