is this really hunting?
Palin is a defender of this?
doesn't seem like much of a sport to me.
Seems to be a big waste of plane fuel and very unfair for the wolves.

Combine this with her lawsuit to remove the Polar Bears from the endangered species list to make it easier to drill for oil in her state and she's not likely to win many votes from animal lovers.

I think this plane was flying too low or the wolf was jumping too high.

Those wolves in Alaska can jump mighty high. They see the wings on the plane, and connect them with the wings the tourists bring in from KFC, and the next thing ya know, ole Brer Wolf is jumping for a quick lunch. Alaskan Wings, they're just for breakfast.

It's their state I say let them do what they want to. I don't have any cuddly feelings for wolves. The government is restocking the lower 48 with them and now the sheep herders and cattlemen have to confront with their damages. I guess some would like to see a PETA supporter as President or VP. I would not!

I'm not sure if you've ever been to Alaska but its darn cold! You can throw a cup of warm water outside during certain times of the year and it evaporates in the air. Maybe hunting through 4 feet of snow isn't feasible?!?

That video is disgusting.

Aerial hunting is NOT hunting. It is just killing from above.

From what I understand of the issue, there has been an explosion of the wolf population in certain areas of Alaska that is impacting farming interests. Those wolves need to be thinned out.

Given that, does it really make any difference what means are used to cull them? I really would not care if they used grenade missiles dropped from drones.

This is not a sport they are engaging in where some strange sense of fairness may come into play. This is an intentional cull for economic reasons.

I understand the need to control species. I don't have a problem with that. But to shoot at these wolves and not kill them but make them have a prolonged death is inhumane!! These animals have just as much as a right to live on this earth as do humans...the only difference..humans do stupid schnit to kill themselves..wolves are being shot, not dead, but a prolonged suffering before another bullet gets them or they die from their injuries...ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So what's the difference between taking a shot from ground level and hitting a wolf in the shoulder only to get the kill on the second shot or doing the same thing from the air?

Quit watching idiotic videos taken by people with an agenda.

Deer season is getting close. I hope I get me one for the freezer.
