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.

Palin's idea of paying $150 for wolf forelegs never materialized because it would have been an illegal use of bounty payments, which were outlawed in Alaska in 1984.



I don't personally agree with Airborne Wolf Hunting. This is not a humane method of controlling a population. It's unethical in my opinion.

As a dog lover, that's pretty powerful stuff. Is there some context to this? Is there a wolf overpopulation in Alaska? Is this form of hunting actually any less humane than any other?
In my view, shooting such an intelligent animal is fairly inhumane. It's like hunting dolphins. But then it seems silly to say it's OK to shoot moose and deer because they're dumb.



Name one animal as smart as the canine family that humans consume for food.

I've got my own negative opinions about hunting for "sport". I don't need a propaganda shock-video to tell me what I should think.
