This is Alaska here, it basically sells a no-man's land, last frontier, hunter's paradise, what have you. And Sarah Palin has to sell that image to get the votes up there.

IMHO, it's OK to hunt, but only for the purpose of providing a meal. My father used to be a hunter as a kid, before hunting was banned in India, and he mainly used to hunt partridges. I wish I could hunt myself, but only for food that is halal (permissible by Islamic dietary law). So yes, killing of bears, wolves, etc, for no purpose but their fur... it's barbaric.

Seriously though, pictures of cute little bears isn't going to move many people's hearts. It's not going to convince them to not vote for some silly lady. Matt Daemon's comments have a fair bigger chance of that, IMO.

uhm...they kill in a plane A PLANE!
thats not vene worth hunting and hunters who do this to provide food i have respect for sinds the industries of nowdays who provide us all those useles and addicting food has to come from some where there slaughterd horribly

Part of the appeal for hunting is just a reaction to PETA and other ecoterrorist groups. Don't get me wrong, I don't own a gun or go hunting, but I also don't throw paint at people or set their houses of fire. I support the hunting restrictions already in effect, as long as hunting enthusiats aren't breaking any laws they're entitled to their hobbies (even if it is a dangerous one).

I only hunt food animals - boar, kangaroo, rabbit, duck, etc.
Unless there's a cull on, then koalas, camels, horses, etc. are shot so they don't eat themselves into extinction/threatening native wildlife.
But, we are long past the age of wearing animal skins to survive, so hunting for fur and trophies is pointless.

If even half of this is true then I think McCain's running mate might be Statan's secretary.

made spray hot tea out of my nose

I don't think it's right to kill wolves like that. It is just cruel.

A hunter and an NRA member?
My kind of woman!
And I'm serious.

Those state authorized killings of wildlife are either for the long term preservation of the very species being "controlled" or for the good of another that they are feeding off of because of an imbalance.
It's still called reality and won’t be found in a bottle of paxil or prozac.
Go do some honest research.

This is one reason why Sarah Palin gives me the creeps.
