Ashley Judd has recently taken Sarah Palin to task over the Governor’s wildlife policies concerning wolves. The Governor says the controversial policy of aerial wolf hunting is needed to control predator populations in the state, and has branded the opposition as nothing more than extremist groups. While Ashley Judd claims that the practice is senseless and unscientific.
I’m going to have to agree with Ashley Judd here (shocker, me siding with the environmentalist). The basic rationale behind the state’s wolf hunting policy is to increase the number of caribou and elk (etc.) so that those animals can be later shot from the ground. Therefore the great crime of the wolf is that it’s mildly standing in the way of human recreation (excuse me, cultural practices).
