That's cruel. But how about using helicopters and grenades instead? That would kick ass!!! Flash, concussion, shrapnel, tear gas... God, that would be fun.

That is cruel, but no upvote as it uses the term 'God's creatures'... urgh. What about respect for another living thing, how about not bringing belief in a deity into it.

The Messiah will smite her when He gets into office.

Well, for a non-theist like me, there is no such thing as a "god's creature".

But, for people like Palin (i.e. fiendish snake worshippers and end-timers) it just adds to the hypocrisy that she'd hunt and kill one of her gods' creatures.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

^ You need to understand that shooting wolves with assault rifles from helicopters is all part of God's plan.

^ Intelligent Design in action, once again. =]

You can not legally shoot a wolf from an airplane for sport in the United States.

The idea (read:'loophole') that Gov. Palin supports is to eliminate the other predators (foxes, coyotes, wolves) so human hunters have more prey available to take down. This reason falls under the 'protect wildlife' exception in the Airborn Hunting Act (above link), and thus permits are issued to control the wolf population to increase the caribou/moose/etc. populations.

I don't need a gun. Like Moses I wiggle my fingers, speak a magical incantation, and summon pillars of fire from the heavens to smite my foes.

Magic is real. Who needs guns.

I'd totally agree with this sport, but only if it were done with throwing-stars.

Or, if you had to catch the wolves with your bare hands, and gnaw it's jugular with your teeth.

I understand sustenance hunting and/or population control but this is just going a tad overboard. It's already bad enough that you can scope an unknowing animal from nearly a mile away on the ground. Where's the thrill of the hunt? Be a man and use something propelled by your own leverage like a compound bow, at the very least. Give these wild animals the fighting chance and respect they deserve.

^agreed. I told my husband something like this once after he mentioned taking up hunting.

I said, "Sure, bring meat to the table! BUT no high powered rifles and covered perches where you sit and wait for Bambi to come feast on bait down below... You must RUN!..barefoot w/ only a spear in your hand to dispatch your prey!!!"

He was amused, went out and bought a camo outfit...it's sat in the closet now for about 4 years unworn.

Seriously though, I love animals and personally I think it's sick to take pleasure from taking the life of one. But I'm no hypocrite either. I eat beef, chicken, pork and seafood all the time.

There is such a thing as ethical hunting. This video is not an example of that.

If Mccain and this woman win the election, honestly, I will have lost all faith in the American people.

I struggle consistantly as a meat-eater because I feel like a hypocrite. I definitely love the taste of meat, but I can't bring myself to think of actually killing an animal myself. As for killing an animal from a helicopter/plane, I dunno, it just doesn't seem THAT different from "on foot" hunting. Claims that the animal can only be wounded and therefore suffer a lot... well... are we assuming that people on foot are somehow perfect shots? What about bow-hunting?



Edit: oh, and Aniatario, even if they don't win, think of this: at least half of this country seems to think that they are viable right now... its not like winning the election suddenly gives you 100% support. Remember, it is a close race right now, even if Obama wins, a hell of a lot of people are still voting for McCain.

>> ^ponceleon:think of this: at least half of this country seems to think that they are viable right now...


Make that "less than 25% of the voting age population"

Remember, they only poll registered voters. And 50% don't vote anyway!

Perhaps, but remember, 4 years into George Bush a "majority" of people got together and decided to elect him again... I think it is really dangerous to think that McCain can't win. In fact. I would say that if he does win, we deserve him as a country.

A high powered rifle like a .30-30 or a .30 '06 will give a MUCH greater chance at a clean quick kill than a spear or a bow.

^LOL sorry MGR. I think he wants to keep it.

I agree with you about the quick kill. You just can't call it a "sport" then can you? It's just plain hunting food.

It's only a sport if you're competing against the animal fairly... if that's possible

Bring the helicopter down and collect this video because it's fucking *dead.

I never call it a sport.
I just like deer meat, and killing a deer myself is just about the only way of getting it.
