"[i]n the spring of 2007 Alaska Governor Sarah Palin authorized a $150 bounty for any wolf killed in specific management zones."
SOURCE

The Federal Airborne Hunting Act prohibits shooting or attempting to shoot or harass any animal from an aircraft while airborne. As soon as the law was enacted in 1971, Alaska discontinued the practice.
SOURCE

"The bounty program established by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game was deemed illegal because the Department does not have the authority to establish bounties"

JUDGE STRIKES DOWN PREDATOR CONTROL AND BOUNTY PROGRAMS
ANCHORAGE, AK - The State of Alaska Superior Court today released a decision stating that the constitutional principle of sustained yield applies to all wildlife

The State has argued in recent years that the constitutional provision that protects all of Alaska’s natural resources was never intended to include predators. In a case brought by Defenders of Wildlife, the Alaska Wildlife Alliance, the Sierra Club and others, the Court held that the constitution protects all wildlife, not just the species that the Board of Game defines as the most valuable to humans.

“The Court ruling today makes it clear that the Board of Game has to apply sustained yield to predators,” said Mike Frank of Trustees for Alaska, representing the plaintiffs in the case.

The court also struck down the 2006 additions to the State’s predator control areas and ruled that Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) had no legal authority to offer bounties for wolves, overturning a 2007 announcement by ADF&G offering a $150 bounty for the foreleg of each wolf killed by aerial gunners participating in the programs.

They are obviously still implementing the policy of aerial culling and other programs.

Perhaps your link is outdated, or perhaps another court overruled the one you cite. It appears the court didn't outlaw aerial culling. The bounty-foreleg thing was stuck down.

Aerial Wolf Predator Control in Alaska, Alaska Department of Fish and Game Videos

Quote:
Currently, five wolf control programs are underway that comprises about 9.4% of Alaska's land area. The programs use a closely controlled permit system allowing aerial or same day airborne methods to remove wolves in designated areas.
But, I ask you; Where's the concern for the caribou, who are being decimated by wolves and other predators?

The Federal Airborne Hunting Act
From your link; Aerial hunting is indeed illegal. Culling or thinning IS NOT hunting. Of course, why would anyone expect big-town, non-hunting liberal weanies to know the difference.

Nature takes care of itself, the culling is to ensure a healthy population for hunters which in turn brings mega bucks to the state.

Hope you are happy with the idiot you are in love with. That may fade, sweetpea!

Oh, and btw, I don't care what a former Senators daughter says...do you?

Curious, why do you think tolerance so wonderful. Should you give a think to communism or nazism? How about how fab they are running sub-saharan Africa? Still got some slave stuff going there. Okay with you?

BS. You do realize that the inhabitants of this area rely on caribou and other game animals for their sustenance?

Nature takes care of itself, huh? An overpopulation of predators will eventually result in the starvation of those very predators. But why would big-city, hand-wringing, whining liberals know such a thing?

These animals can all just get along, right?

Where's the outrage for the poor caribou calves?

So do you have the numbers of caribou taken by sports/trophy hunters?

Since I happen to be none of the things you mentioned and you're the one in "big town CHICAGO" I find it interesting that you choose to insult yourself. The Governor appears to have circumvented the law, behavior which you're exceptionally prone to support.

it resides with idiot liberals who think with their hearts and not thier heads.

Wolf Population controls kees the wolf population healthy, keep the game animal herds strong, and protect humans and domesticated animalls safe from wolves that are forced into human areas by over extended wolf populations.


But for the crazies out there the answer is humans need to go away and leave the planet for the animals.


I have a suggestion, if thats really what you libs want, how about you set an example for us?
