Why Aerial Wolf Hunting?

I can see how that would be hard for you to swallow. But maybe if you knew what goes on here in Alaska instead of what you hear you would understand a little better.

It is completely impossible for the general public to get a permit for this. That means it's not for money. In fact, it's not even hunting really. It's a very select group in the Alaska game management that can aerially hunt and they do this to keep the ecosystem balanced. You see, the wolf population is TERRIBLE here. You'd probably view this as a good thing. There are so many more of them then there were a few years ago even. Mainly this is because of the harsh winters we have been having (global warming... *rolls eyes*) The deer have all been having a terrible time with it which makes for easy prey for the wolves.

So there are very good reasons that Governor Palin allowed this. I completely agree with her.
