SHAME ON YOU: Sarah Palin Strikes Back at Ashley Judd and the Defenders of Wildlife Campaign
Posted by: Flap in Ashley Judd, Sarah PalinGovernor Sarah Palin released the following statement today in response to attacks by the Defenders of Wildlife:
“It is reprehensible and hypocritical that the Defenders of Wildlife would use Alaska and my administration as a fundraising tool to deceive Americans into parting with their hard-earned money.
“The ad campaign by this extreme fringe group, as Alaskans have witnessed over the last several years, distorts the facts about Alaska’s wildlife management programs. Alaskans depend on wildlife for food and cultural practices which can’t be sustained when predators are allowed to decimate moose and caribou populations. Our predator control programs are scientific and successful at protecting vulnerable wildlife. These audacious fundraising attempts misrepresent what goes on in Alaska, and I encourage people to learn the facts about Alaska’s positive record of managing wildlife for abundance.
“Shame on the Defenders of Wildlife for twisting the truth in an effort to raise funds from innocent and hard-pressed Americans struggling with these rough economic times.”
Flap is surprised “The ‘Cuda” didn’t invite Ashley up for a little demonstration of Alaska’s wildlife management program. But, Judd, wouldn’t go anyway because like many LEFT-WING Hollywood types she knows little or nothing about the subject.
Shame on Ashley Judd, indeed.

Good for Ashley Judd!!..She (Sarah Palin) needs to be exposed for the barbaric and inhumane ways she slaughters these beautiful animals and even wolf pups in their dens (shot in the head) Defenders of Wildlife are not bilking innocents out of their hard earned money, they are trying to protect wildlife for future generations to enjoy and learn where they fit into an ecosystem where they have managed to live for generations. Leave it to the Sarah Palins and George Bushs we would have none left at all!! They cater to oil companies and big money..Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones Sarah Palin!!!!! WTG Ashley and I will continue to get the word out and sign petitions to get her stopped..maybe we should put a bounty on her legs as she does the wolves?
February 3rd, 2009 at 9:27 pm
Uh Huh and what do you know about wildlife management?
Ever hear of ecological balance?
February 3rd, 2009 at 9:36 pm
Ecological balance..yes..without airplanes..Nature has always managed to weed the strong from the weak without any help from mans interference.
February 3rd, 2009 at 10:24 pm
Wow Palin is an idiot
She claims scienc in killing of wolves but fails to think that man has any negative impact upon earth. Then again she follows her religion that believes the Earth is only 6000 years old.
Wonder what caused the overpopulation to begin with? Maybe its the Tropy Hunting for big game animals?
People who follow palin and blame the Media fail in understanding that Palin is her own worst nightmare.
“The President of France” interview should have proved it once and for all………….If after that interview you still think she has what it takes you need to see a doctor for delusional thinking.
February 3rd, 2009 at 10:46 pm
@3
No, you obviously don’t know about ecology – just like Ashley Judd.
February 3rd, 2009 at 10:49 pm
@4
Name calling and ridicule for religious beliefs that she may or may not have.
Typical PDS sufferer from the left.
And, I suppose being “punked” makes anyone a complete idiot, right?
Stupid….
February 3rd, 2009 at 10:54 pm
Have you ever witnessed a wolf kill? Nature is vicious. Please go into the country side and really view nature!
Limiting the wolf population (and many other species) prevents wolf pups from starving to death in their dens, improves herbivore survival rates, and ellimnates many other environmental problems.
Please reference what foxes have done to many bird species. Unfortunately many of the birds are extinct.
February 3rd, 2009 at 10:55 pm
The difference between being Punked and being unworthy of a position as Sarah seeks is that she is mentally incapable of thinking on her feet(Common Sense). If she could have come to the conclusion that she was being pranked it would be one thing. They had to tell her 6 minutes into the Interview it was a prank Call.
Sarah Brings on the Ridicule herself, but like many there are some that want to cover her in Magic Glitter and will sprinkle it back on when the Big Bad Media winds blow it off.
February 3rd, 2009 at 10:56 pm
Ever eat a hamburger? Then get over animal killing as you are a part of it as well. Vegetarian? Then your an idiot
February 3rd, 2009 at 11:02 pm
One of the most awe-inspiring sights I have ever seen was when I was in the Arctic and watched a Polar Bear waiting at a Seal hole. The Seal pops it head up and the polar bear Swats it about 20 yards and goes over and munches away on the Seal. Nature is Vicious but that does not mean that we have to be the Same.
The pups can not survive on their own because they have not yet learned to from their wolven parents.

Some other intersting information to be found from wikipedia on Defenders of Wildlife
Awards
Defenders was named America’s Best Wildlife Charity in 2005 by the Reader’s Digest.
I do not think that the Reader’s digest is in the habit of supporinting extreme fringe groups but maybe they (Defenders of Wildlife) have changed alot in 3ish years

Defenders of Wildlife is spot on. There are no inaccuracies in the Ashley Judd video. The Alaska Board of Game predator program’s goal is to turn Alaska into a wild game farm for the Alaska Outdoor Council. They have violated their own laws by killing denning wolf pups. They have unethically and potentially illegally influenced ballot propositions with state funded propaganda. WHY? Because they know if they told the truth, Alaskans would not stand for this brutal and inhumane program. The Board of Game lost every ballot initiative prior to last August-the one they ignored science and blew $400,000 of state funds on a shameful propaganda campaign. I love hunting, I just like a fair chase.

Well done, Ms. Judd. As always you are correct, THE WAY in which the wolves are ¨hunted¨is ball less.

Palin already invited ¨sarkozy¨, the stupid MOOK…perhaps she should invite Dick Cheney for a little CANNED wolf slaughter…Christians!!!!!
February 4th, 2009 at 5:32 am
Just to toss in a fact…the people of ALASKA have voted TWICE to outlaw the practice of aerial predator kills, they remain unheard.
THEY site it is counter productive.
They are ready to throw Palin´s bony ass out on a rail. There is no way she would even get elcted as Governor again, they have found out far too much.
ok, back to work….
I DO love Ashley Judd.

Ashley Judd is a frikin’ idiot who has no knowledge of why they’re killing the wolves. She should keep her big fucking Hollywood liberal mouth shut until she learns about the subject.

Geeze, so much drama over this. I wish that things did not escalate this way and that everything remained peaceful.

February 4th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
Alaska/Palin’s program of killing wolves and to some extent polar bears has two obvious consequences. 1/Alaska get $ from people who are not real hunters, these are wanna be’s, who get in their Jag and drive to their safe home, and lay their new rug on their hardwood floor. 2/Alaska get $ from hunters who want to bring home a caribou/moose trophy. The more caribou/moose, the more $. You see how this is Palin’s idea of nature controlling itself. As far as being an expert in any of these areas, I admit I’m not. Although I read quite abit, and try and stay informed. It’s interesting that all the Palin-positive postings that rant about the other side’s lack of knowledge; offer no proof of their supposed loftiness on these subjects. IT’S ALL ABOUT $. Don’t have to be a Nobel prize winner, just look at the facts.
February 4th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
And, you know this how?

It aoppears you are the one with Palin disorder Systems Flap not those that see thru her. Nothin I have stated previously is is an Opinion, everything is Fact. The real question is why would someonewant to support a person like Palin whoi has proved she is mentally and intellectually unfit.
You are suffering also from the Palin Glitter Factor.
Palin is no more then a fairytale for those that soo want to desperetaly believe in her.
She goes around saying the most ludicrous things that most likely would have had a male VP nomination taken off of the Ticket.
Palin cries out The Media is picking on me Fans” Then her fans go oh that is ok Sarah. We will sprinkle more magic glitter on you and will call the Mass Media Evil. There there Sarah, we have sprinkled Magic Glitter on you, and will do so once again if the Big Bad Media wind blows it off you.
The problem lies in the fact that There is no substance to what she says and it is all Glitter Coated. Maybe the Media is Biased in the Fact that they did not want someone who lacks common sense and good judgment to be VP or President.
Consider her interview with Katie Couric, if that would have been a job interview the person would have been shown the door within minutes.

She is the one that had the interview with the President of France.
If a person rambles on like she does in an Intervie, the interviewer would call the Interview short and not hire the person.

Like many Dems you don’t hear about, we do have common sense and will not have blind loyalty to the party. It isn’t just “Dems for McCain/Palin” either.
Smart, honest, no bullshit, ethical, fiscally responsible and putting the people’s interest first, not her own. All qualities that inspire fear in Democrats in washignton. A true threat to their corrupt way of life. She is also willing to go after the same corrupt people in her own party. The only person in washington that are not afraid of her are those that are doing nothing wrong and doing the job we elected them to do

The wolf killing is lil more then increasing the poulation of the non predator Big Game Animals for Big Game hunting since it is big business in Alaska. That is why she wanted to give hunters 150 dollars for each foreleg of the Wolves they kill so they can

By the time that the fishing season officially opened for Emmonak the fish were all but gone, having been “fished out” by commercial fishing boats with huge nets and crews made up almost exclusively of caucasian out of state fishermen.

February 5th, 2009 at 8:03 am
What really gets me about this whole slinging of words at each other is the fact that most Americans will fall for it. Rather than not listen to either one. Let both of them debate and show evidence supporting their claims. Let the population decide for themselves what is true and false. They can then vote to have the wolf killing continue or support the side that chooses not to let it continue.
It is laughable that grown ups would rather bash each other in the public eye so easily then have a real meeting within a public forum (town hall meeting) showing the problems, the causes, and then the solutions. Both showing evidence to back up their claims so that the people can decide for themselves through voting which is the best course of action. Isn’t that what they call democracy? Oh I forgot we don’t have an America anymore. We simply condemn each other without a real method of solution. We see who can smear who better and to propagandize it so that whoever does the better job wins over the people by to the point No bashing each other in the media like children on a playground is so much more interesting and adult like way of dealing with our problems.

Ashley Judd = just another Hollywood idiot who does not know what the f–k she’s talking about…My support just gets stronger for Sarah Palin each time one of the Hollywood or media idiots open their pie holes…Ms Judd, you are entitled to your opinions whatever they may be, it’s when you call it the the attention of the media and try to have it become news is when you crossed the line. To me, your nothing more than a useless “B” actress who made movies that were in no way memorable, except for that you’re being in them were the very reason I didn’t go see them. You can hate on Palin all you want, but I can guarantee that Mrs Palin has far more charactor than Ms Judd can ever hope to have. Ms Judd likely did no research and was reading a script, but she uses her “celebrity” to infuence. Her opinion is no better than anyone elses. Ms Judd, I get that you hate Sarah Palin despite the fact you’ve never met her, but to slander her like you have here is wrong, but I get it’s the fashionable thing to do post election (Obama winning was just “not good enough”). Ashley Judd, just go back to making bad movies that go direct to DVD…or better still, just STFU and go away…
February 5th, 2009 at 10:50 am

February 5th, 2009 at 11:08 am
Dude, you are all over the place.
And, your point is?
February 5th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
My point=Palin is bad government.
Oil companies use propaganda and “friends” to fulfill their agenda. Palin is a friend of oil companies, she assists in lifting protections on wolves and keeping polar bears off the endangered species list better chance to drill in Alaska. Sorry I confused you with the Bush comment, he’s in the game and will never be a private citizen, how many private citizens do you know that have secret service men guarding them? If you don’t know anything about the “bridge to nowhere” http://www.adn.com/sarahpalin/story/511471.html

As I recall Palin has fought the oil companies in Alaska and this is why she is so popular with Alaska voters.
The Bridge to Nowhere was discussed on this blog during the campaign – and debunked.

Afternoon Flap:}
While it is correct that The program helped the Caribou in that one area.
Sarah did want to give 150 dollars for each foreleg from every wolf that was killed.
The question though is.
If it was only from wolves that were suppose to be hunted in a certain area, due to decreasing caribou, then it would possibly be justifiable.
If it was for any wolf killed Anywhere a hunter was, then it would Not be Justifiable.
Third: How can a person claim they are Fiscally Responsible when they give out bounty rewards of 150 dollars to every single wolf killed?
Conclusion
Sarah Tipped her Hand that she does not care about the wolves and would do whatever she wanted to justify what She Wants.
It was not till the courts told her that she was overstepping her powers, and put a halt to her rewarding hunters for killing wolves that her proposal did not go thru.
February 5th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
Here is the background link from Salon while slanted against Palin gives some background information: http://www.salon.com/env/feature/2008/09/08/sarah_palin_wolves/
But, by the looks of the Anchorage Daily News piece Here: http://www.adn.com/wildlife/story/586116.html there has been success with aerial hunting.
Interesting that the program began in the 1940’s before Alaska became a state.
I don’t believe your conclusion can be drawn based on these pieces. But, a certainty is that Palin does care more about the Moose and Caribou populations for a number of reasons.
February 5th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
I agree in that it is wrong for people to solely put all the blame on Palin for the hunting of wolves by air since it has been in practice for awhile.
Just because there is Success in one aspect of the issue does not make the issue correct though.
A while back there were 14 pups killed by State officials and in part may have led to the outcry that we are seeing now.
February 5th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
That is discussed in the Anchorage Daily piece.
Well, it is a balance of nature: predator vs prey issue.
Killing is never politically correct but ask the Caribou and the people that depend upon them if they think it is the right course of action.
February 5th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
It has little to do with Sustenance for the people allowed to hunt Caribou so they can live, it has to do with the approach that Sarah and the alaska game board have when it comes to what they want..
http://www.alaskawolfkill.com/Palin_Letter.html
Now this was starting back in 2003 before Sarah, but everything she has wanted does not deal with helping the balance of Nature.
February 5th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
More from Slate: http://www.slate.com/id/2199140/
Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska and John McCain’s vice presidential pick, is an enthusiastic hunter who has proposed legislation and cash incentives to encourage aerial wolf gunning, the controversial practice of shooting wolves from an aircraft. Do people in Alaska really shoot wolves from planes?
Yes, but only with the government’s permission. Aerial shooting yields better results than traditional hunting, since it allows the hunter to cover a lot of ground quickly and track target animals from a clear vantage point. Historically, hunters also used planes to drive animals—polar bears in Alaska and elk in Montana, among others—toward gunmen waiting on the ground. But many hunters found the practice unsportsmanlike, since it violates the “fair chase” ethic, and animal rights activists call it inhumane, since airborne gunmen rarely get a clean (i.e., relatively painless) kill. In response to concerns like these, Congress passed the Federal Airborne Hunting Act of 1972, which made it illegal for hunters to shoot animals from a plane or helicopter.
The federal legislation (PDF) does have a loophole for predator control, permitting state employees or licensed individuals to shoot from an aircraft for the sake of protecting “land, water, wildlife, livestock, domesticated animals, human life, or crops.” (This doesn’t just apply to wolves; coyotes and foxes are sometimes gunned down from aircraft, especially in Western states.) Since 2003, Alaska has issued aerial wolf-hunting permits in select areas where moose and caribou populations are particularly endangered. The idea is that by killing the predators, the airborne gunmen can ramp up the number of moose and caribou that human hunters can take home for supper.
This is for more background.
February 5th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
And, why the Bounty?
Link: http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/wildlife/wolves/story/205436.html
The state is offering incentives for people who kill wolves in an effort to boost Alaska’s predator control program, which so far has failed to meet expected numbers.
“Several factors have led to a low wolf take this winter, so we’re going to step up our efforts to meet the annual objectives in this important program,” Commissioner Denby Lloyd with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game said in a statement Wednesday.
The program, now in its fourth year and operating in five areas of the state, is designed to increase moose and caribou numbers by reducing the number of predators.
The incentives include offering 180 volunteer pilots and aerial gunners $150 in cash for turning in legs of freshly killed wolves, Gov. Sarah Palin’s office announced Tuesday.
The state will use the left forelegs of wolves as biological specimens, which can help biologists determine wolf age and will assist the program in the future, Lloyd said. [...]
The Palin administration is anteing up cash because the number of wolf kills this winter is behind schedule. State biologists wanted 382 to 664 wolves killed by the time the snow that helps with tracking disappears this spring. The predator-control season ends April 30.
As of Tuesday morning, 98 wolves had been killed by aerial gunners, hunters and trappers.
February 5th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
@71
Actually, the program goes back further than 2003.
I don’t think you can say Governor Palin has supported programs that don’t help the balance of nature because as the Anchorage Daily News piece points out – It does.
February 13th, 2009 at 5:07 pm
First off…the Anchorage Daily News is a LIBERAL/Democratic Obama loving news rag….ALWAYS HAS BEEN…so anything written up there is TRASH and not much more than the National Enquirer or the Globe lol…..
If you google it you will find there are Alaskans in DIRE need of food….I just read an article the other night. It told the story of a family in a remote Alaskan town with no store and they had to use a snowmobile for a nearly two hour drive to the nearest store where like a gallon of milk is ten dollars…..cheese is like fifteen dollars ect….THIS IS WHY people DEPEND on the moose and caribou for food….IT WAS WRITTEN UP IN A LIBERAL NEWSCOLUMN/PAPER ALSO…..SO its not like the news was SUPPORTING SARAH in ANY way !!!! Many tribes and others live in remote areas of Alaska …of course EVEN IF you don’t….the weather, ice and snow ect is no piece of cake !!!! BUT THERE ARE REASONS people DEPEND on wildlife for food there !!!! It is harder to get supplies into there and things are VERY EXPENSIVE if you DO buy them …..
The ONLY part of the issue that I DO AGREE WITH IS….they should STOP outside hunting and keep the hunting to IN STATE ONLY….since the people need the food for survival…..NO OUTSOURCING OF HUNTING should be allowed ….
I am an animal freak and don’t like ANY animal to be unnecessarily killed….but yes, I eat meat….and I realize that for certain reasons it becomes a necessity…..not that I “LIKE” that either….but…..some things have to happen….
Ashley Judd is an activist loonie…..an avid Obama lover and has “real morals” let me tell ya !!!! Anyone who would MAKE PUBLIC SHE DOESNT WEAR UNDERWEAR…..certainly would win my approval of instilling HER MORALS on what is RIGHT AND WRONG ON ANYONE right? NOT !!!!! She is just another Obama Hollywood sleazeball trying to discredit Sarah….
FYI….hunting to decrease populations has always been allowed…its why they have “deer seasons” and other things….this is similar but for somewhat different reasons. What if the wolves ran OUT of caribou and moose and began attacking PEOPLE….would you liberal activists promote killing them then? There HAS to some balance you guys…..whether you “like” the killing or not. I wish they would relocate the wolves or something….but honestly….WHERE would you take them to that doesnt have ENOUGH already? So that you dont overpopulate there too? Wolves being a predator makes the decision even more difficult….
The media will NEVER tell you ALL THE FACTS, just like they DIDNT TELL YOU THE FACTS ABOUT OBAMA EITHER……WHEN WILL PEOPLE STOP TRUSTING HOLLYWOOD AND THE MEDIA FOR FACTS?

That is exactly why Palin is being hamstrung by people in Alaska for her Inaction until recently in regards to the People of Emmonak and other SE Alaskan inhabitants
http://www.themudflats.net/?s=emmonak Mudlfats while it maybe on the left side of the Spectrum has been working and getting people to donate to help the same people for a while now. Sarah and her Adminsitration have neglected. This same Sarah yes the Palin took steps to reduce the amount of days Sustinance hunters can Fish and Hunt all to allow more Big Game Hunting.
once again so you know what you are Talking about please remember it is only Aerial Wolf Hunting.
BTW do some research and you will find that there have been no Wolf Attacks in the US or Canada since late 2006.
If you also listen to what Ashley says she sounds way more intelligent then Sarah and speaks way better.
If you actually would listen to what Ashely Judd is talking about she is not saying stop all wolf killing but Stop only aerial hunting of them. That and to quit killing Wolf Pups in their den.

This talks about the Aerial wolf hunting and the fact that Alaskans have voted twice in the past to stop killing them by air. The State of Alaska though went agaisnt the vote of the people and reversed the voters Decision
Now to be fair to Sarah this took place before she came into office but that does not mean she should do the wrong thing and continue it.
2008 the vote went out again to the voters however……………………
She also deliberately worded it so she could decieve the voters into allowing it and spent 400,000 dollars on propganda so it would continue.

With all of this history, we should have been prepared to deal with a Palin Administration hell bent on killing wolves. She and I were “raised by the same wolves”, and she wants to shoot them out of planes. She stacked the Alaska Board of Game with pro-aerial wolf hunters. She was successful at merging faulty science, Safari Club International interests and state funded propaganda.
Her support has nothing to do with Sustinace hunting and all to do with Big Game hunting for trophies to hang on the wall.
