So Palin is a polarizing figure? Not eco-wackos who run around the country filing lawsuits in every state in the union and using animals as tools to get what they want? Eco-wackos don't like multiple use, public use or any other use and Sarah Palin is polarizing? What Alaska or Canada does with their wolves is nobody else's business unless you're a socialist (see US Constitution and States rights) Aerial control and even poison in Alberta are used because hunting and trapping are not that effective in controlling wolf numbers. Government agents shoot wolves right now in Idaho from the air! Here's a couple of methods that Alaskan natives used and would still like to use: "Other methods of wolf control that are no longer practiced — and are not requested in the proposal — include wiping an animal's blood on knives or sharp rocks, he said. Wolves cut themselves as they licked away the blood, bleeding to death through their mouths. Also, some trappers would coil sharpened baleen or willow sticks into taut wads, cover them with fat and freeze the device, he said. Once gobbled by wolves, the wads would open, piercing stomachs and killing the animal, he said" (end quote) Now why do you suppose that native Alaskans would even attempt to control wolves in the first place? Here's the news article: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,324106,00.html

In the event that they-McCain & Palin were elected and if McCain were to die, she would then take over the presidency. Do you think she is qualified to be our leader???
I personally don't believe in aerial killing of wolves.

The West is the most urbanized part of America. Take Nevada. 95% live in Las Vegas or Reno.

Palin the image of what men like to have...or like what Cindy McCain did when she found a Stepford Man..

All of the above is very draining on our economy and only makes for Daytime Soap Opera viewers who do not work only produce children.

Alaska has brutally gunned down 800 wolves over the past 4 or 5 years from AIRPLANES! Sarah Palin has not only supported this barbaric treatment of our native wildife, she has in fact PROMOTED it with the help of that blood thirsty organization that prides itself on "conservation" -- the Safari Club. They hunt trophy animals -- like giraffes, zebras, etc. and call it "conservation." They also do it by "canned hunting" where the animals are actually in an enclosed area! It is sick and disgusting but they have a lot of money from rich people who want to pretend they went on an exciting "Safari" of the worst kind.

Of course, they're too dumb to realize that the term 'Safari' now means using a CAMERA to shoot the animal instead. I have heard a rumor that the Wildlife Experience in Colorado was founded and funded by Safari Club members -- anyone know is there is any truth to this rumor?

Wolves belong in the West -- it's time to get them back where they belong. They should have never been treated like outlaws. It is the livestock industry and Wildlife Services that are the OUTLAWS and CRIMINALS for doing this to our wildlife.

You are a very sick person Nitrodan. Try some medication from your good ol' doctor will you?

This book chronicles how the livestock industry in bed with lobbyists and legislators in DC worked from the 1900's to recent to 'sanitize the West" of any and all animal they deemed "a risk" to their free roaming livestock. They pushed the native animals out of their own homes by systematic poisoning, trapping, hunting, in the most grisly and disgusting ways.

Currently, Wildlife Services kills 10,000 mammals per year, by poisoning, trapping, using cyanide poison on BLM lands, and other gasly means as a taxpayer "courtesy" to livestock owners. They are an agency to protect livestock NOT to protect wildlife. Their name is DECEPTIVE AND MISLEADING PURPOSEFULLY. Their main job is to KILL KILL KILL with YOUR YOUR YOUR money! to protect PRIVATE LIVESTOCK businesses! What a scam!

Tell Wildlife Services we don't want their kind of "services!"

Aldo Leopold. One of the best essays ever written…

“My own conviction on this score dates from the day I saw a wolf die. We were eating lunch on a high rimrock, at the foot of which a turbulent river elbowed its way. We saw what we thought was a doe fording the torrent, her breast awash in white water. When she climbed the bank toward us and shook out her tail, we realized our error: it was a wolf. A half-dozen others, evidently grown pups, sprang from the willows and all joined in a welcoming melee of wagging tails and playful maulings. What was literally a pile of wolves writhed and tumbled in the center of an open flat at the foot of our rimrock.
In those days we had never heard of passing up a chance to kill a wolf. In a second we were pumping lead into the pack, but with more excitement than accuracy: how to aim a steep downhill shot is always confusing. When our rifles were empty, the old wolf was down, and a pup was dragging a leg into impassable slide-rocks.

We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in her eyes. I realized then, and have known ever since, that there was something new to me in those eyes - something known only to her and to the mountain. I was young then, and full of trigger-itch; I thought that because fewer wolves meant more deer, that no wolves would mean hunters’ paradise. But after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view.

Since then I have lived to see state after state extirpate its wolves. I have watched the face of many a newly wolfless mountain, and seen the south-facing slopes wrinkle with a maze of new deer trails. I have seen every edible bush and seedling browsed, first to anaemic desuetude, and then to death. I have seen every edible tree defoliated to the height of a saddlehorn. Such a mountain looks as if someone had given God a new pruning shears, and forbidden Him all other exercise. In the end the starved bones of the hoped-for deer herd, dead of its own too-much, bleach with the bones of the dead sage, or molder under the high-lined junipers.

I now suspect that just as a deer herd lives in mortal fear of its wolves, so does a mountain live in mortal fear of its deer. And perhaps with better cause, for while a buck pulled down by wolves can be replaced in two or three years, a range pulled down by too many deer may fail of replacement in as many decades. So also with cows. The cowman who cleans his range of wolves does not realize that he is taking over the wolf’s job of trimming the herd to fit the range. He has not learned to think like a mountain. Hence we have dustbowls, and rivers washing the future into the sea.

What a breath of fresh air.Finally a real person with brains.McCain was brilliant in his choice.Democrats are scattering like always.Pack it in guy's it is over.TC

Finally, Bill O'Reilly is speaking the truth........
