"Defenders of Wildlife" Slam Palin for Cruel Treatment of Wolves with Brutal Ad

(Especially for all of those animal supporters out there, viewer discretion is advised.) (via oregon democrat at the Kos)

From their website:

Defenders Action Fund underscored its endorsement by launching a new TV ad about Palin's environmental record, focusing on her support for the aerial hunting of wolves, a cruel practice she actively champions in Alaska. The program licenses private citizens to fly airplanes and shoot wolves from the air or chase them to exhaustion before landing and shooting them point blank. The gunners then sell the pelts of the animals they kill for profit. The program also targets grizzly and black bears, which are chased by air and then shot on the ground. The ad, which will air in presidential swing states, shows a new and extreme side to the Governor, which has yet to be fully explored in the media.

"Sarah Palin not only condones the aerial hunting of wolves and bears, she actively promotes it," continued Schlickeisen. "She has even gone so far as to propose a bounty of $150 for every severed left foreleg of a wolf the hunters can produce. Her promotion of this ghastly and unscientific program – which she pursues while simultaneously suing the federal government to eliminate protections for the imperiled polar bear - offers voters a glimpse of her values and character that is quite different from the picture carefully crafted by the McCain-Palin campaign's professional speechwriters. It should also provide voters with a good idea of what a McCain-Palin administration's approach to stewardship of our nation's natural resources would be like. Americans deserve to know about this real side of Sarah Palin before they make up their minds about her.

"Put simply, if voters care at all about the environment, about protecting our air, land, water and wildlife for future generations, then they should look past the misleading rhetoric of the McCain-Palin campaign and support Obama-Biden," concluded Schlickeisen.

What makes this so devastating (and something the networks won't pick up because it will mess up their "image" of the Governor of Alaska that they want to tell you) is this statement a poster by the name of naviline made at the Kos:

This ad is great timing:
Coming right after the McCain ad on Obama dropping in a "mini-army" after Palin and visually equating them to those big, bad, mean wolves.
brilliant timing actually!

That's right. For those who don't know, the SOP and the RNC (it stands for the Republican National Committee but sould stand for the Reagan Neo-Cons) released this latest disgusting ad attacking Obama this week:

The irony of course is that there are wolves in the ad of the sad RNC and McShame's campaign. Even more so is that Palin knew this ad was being released, and had no problem with it. Which is not a surprise, considering she thinks of wolves, and probably many other animals, as nothing but mindless things that need to go. And she will be willingly to pay whatever to whoever is able to do so.

It makes me want to regurgitate. Seriously. (And you may chuckle at that, but there's nothing funny about this.)
