When you decide to open a slaughter house for wolves, regulate it and call it what it is, a slaughter house, but make sure all those wolves are food. Sport killing for trophies and not subsistence is disgusting.
This is purely for population control not sport, I would not support this for "sport" purposes but for legitimate population control reasons I do...I have a more subsistence attitude towards hunting, trapping and fishing than a "sport" one anyways, but this boils down to none of that, but rather population control to protect the environment.

The main use for wolves is their fur, which is quite warm. I'm sure some eat them, I know people who will eat coyotes.

At this point you guys/gals either need to debunk the wildlife conservation or show some really hardcore credentials.

The manner in which she did this was: 1) illegal, and 2) in direct opposition to wildlife experts in Alaska, who told her that predator control needed to be carefully assessed, in terms of the eco-balance between predator and prey within a particular eco-system, and that to arbitrarily go around shooting wolves was dangerous and could cause irrevocable environmental damage down the line. She didn't care because, like Bush, Sarah Palin doesn't understand the Rule of Law. She's perfectly willing to break the law if it gets in the way of her agendas.

Yeah, like the pipeline killed off the caribou.

All ten billion of them, hugging the pipes for warmth in the winter and breeding nonstop.

Yes, I agree. There seems to be a trend of her breaking the law in order to further her agenda. How can we let someone like this in the highest office of the land (and she will have it if something happens to McCain)? How can we let her have access to security codes that can and will send us all to death and destruction? Is this what she really wants? How can we be sure that the "rapture" and "Armeggedon" mantra that has been instilled in her isn't calling for her to take us to war, death, and a nuclear holocaust? Even though I've been a Christian my whole 45 years on this earth, this woman, who claims that the war in Iraq is a task from God, that the Alaskan pipeline is a task from God; how can we be reassured that taking us to war won't be another "task from God"? Why is it even a remote possibilty that someone like this could rule our nation??
