Thanks, genius. Noel Sheppard astutely points out:
"What's astounding here is that nowhere in the ad is the viewer apprised of why the wolves are being hunted, or the history beyond this policy."But is it really astounding? Since when are idiot CelebRetards held accountable for their words or actions?
Sheppard goes on to show how Palin isn't "casting aside science," but that the wolf reduction is part of the state's predator control program, it is being done at the request of Alaska state biologists, and the evil "bounty" that seems to so upset Ashley is being offered in order to meet the biologists' requirements:
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.Read the whole thing.
As of Tuesday morning, 98 wolves had been killed by aerial gunners, hunters and trappers.
Pop Quiz: Are Alaska state biologists guilty of "discarding science," or is Ashley Judd simply another fuckwit Hollywood leftist whose perky little B-cup titties are bigger than her brain?
Now a personal anecdote: One Sunday morning this past December I met a kid (OK, he's probably 20-something years old, so to me he's a kid...) named Jesse who my in-laws called out to their place to hunt coyotes on their property. Jesse is part of a university program (UT, A&M, I forget which) which hunts coyotes all over Texas. He bagged one coyote that Sunday, said it was his
As part of the program, Jesse sends in teeth, DNA swabs, and other stuff for analysis so state officials and (real, honest-to-God) scientists can track populations, movements, and other data which is used to manage and control the coyote overpopulation problem and protect other species that coyotes prey upon. Is this, too, what Ashley would call "casting aside science?"
Perhaps Ashley believes there isn't any overpopulation problem because, hell, there are no wolves in her "environment" -- i.e., her backyard in Malibu or wherever the fuck she ekes out her charmed, elitist existence these days. But some of us in the real world understand two things that probably never crossed Ashley's pea-sized mind.
First: Wildlife management is necessary, and hunting is how it works. It's not done to be mean to those poor coyotes and wolves; it's done for the good of the species. It's done all over the country, not just Alaska. Too many predators sooner or later results in a reduced food supply, which then results in starving predators and/or attacks on new food sources (like our pets and farm animals). Without wildlife management, bad things happen.
Second: We all know this is not about wolves, or hunting, or the environment. It's about Sarah Palin. Two weeks into Obama's presidency and the Left is already launching it's attack campaign for the 2012 election. If it really was about the wolves, then why now? Why not four years ago when the program started?
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.In other words, if Ashley Judd gets her way, more moose and caribou will die!!! Is that what she wants? Why isn't anyone protesting Ashley Judds immoral War on Moose and Caribou?!?!?
Oy. These fucking Hollywood types make me want to puke.
