1. I couldn't get through the first 15 seconds
I hate hunters!!! I wish they would be put out in the woods naked and without weapons and let them have a taste of the vulnerability and fear they inflict on defenseless animals!!!!!

6. Well....
I'm sure that the DU hunting community thanks you for your sentiment.

9. I could care less what the "hunting community" thinks
hunting is barbaric and not necessary especially given the number of animals we humans have driven to extinction with our blood lust. And don't give me any of that 'stabilizing' the numbers or they would die horrible deaths. That's just BS hunter propaganda on the same side of the coin as Iraq is a better place without Saddam Hussein.

8. Or give the moose and caribou rifles...
and let THEM shoot the wolves. That'd be self-defense, yes?

5. Well, this WAS one of Bush's campaign points

Something about Kerry not doing enough to protect us from wolves, if I remember correctly.

7. Did You Sign The Petition????
This is terrible! I think that hunting and shooting wolves is similar to hunting and shooting dogs. I have 6 Alaskan Malamutes and we live with the wolves here in the Chippewa National Forest.

This made me cry. What is human nature becoming? Of course, this is a "Rich Man's" sport. Dam them to hell anyways!

10. Call Alaska Gov. Frank Murkowski's office at 907-465-3500 . . .
and let him know that you are outraged at this crime against these animals. Helpless animals being slaughtered by low-flying helicopters carrying hunters with rifles? My God, WHY CAN'T WE JUST HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR GOD'S EARTH AND CREATURES?

Please see http://www.defenders.org/wildlife/wolf/alaska.html
for more information on this troubling and heartbreaking issue.

11. Are these the "Christian Sportsman for Bush" folks?
I did not watch the link, that type of stuff pisses me off.

I work with a "Christian Sportsman for Bush" and he has said that he likes "free kittens" because he uses them to train his hunting dogs to kill, or he will use them as live bait for fox.

15. have no way of knowing if you stutter or not
and would never fault you if you did. murdering unarmed animals is quite another matter. i'm sure your logic is there are too many wolves? would you carry that logic into the fact there are too many humans?

16. Too many unanswered questions
Why do 900 "need' to be killed?

What do 900 Wolves eat in a winter?

Killing 900 wolves for Ha-Ha's is a waste. But if their is scientific reason for thjinning the population? It's cheaper to let the sportsmen do the job, than to hire someone to do it.

17. Oh My God -- "Need to be killed"
Of course they do not "need to be killed". The hunters want them killed to enable them (the hunters) to kill more moose and caribou.
I provided a link for some REAL information...

But if for some phantasmagoric reason they did "need to be killed"--does nothing about low-flying helicopters shooting these animals from the air as they run in fear seem like a moral way to do it?

Have we sunk so low that we are simply OK with this type of horror?

Love and peace to all.

18. Video doesn't explain the Why.
Are they being killed for Yuks as you suggest? Might the Porcuppine Caribou Herd be exterminated if the wolves are not eliminated? Are the wolves attacking people? in their own neighborhoods?

As for the use of air? Depends on the size of the area that they are trying to take from. Sure Connecticut uses a single hunter on foot to thin a deer herd. But the herd only has a few acres of range.

20. How sporting
All for a goddamn trophy? Is this what comes of people with inferiority complexes and a love of guns?
