more on sarevil palevil's thoughts on and treatment of animals

and i've said it before and i'll continue to say it. putting EVERYTHING else aside, her talking in tongues, her belief it's god's task to invade iraq AND to build oil pipelines, her refusal to cooperate in the troopergate investigation, her lies in the campaign advertising, while mayor having her town bill rape victims for rape kits her belief the world is coming to an end any day now, her denial of global warming (and on and on and on and on and on)

ok, we'll put everything else aside...

SHE FUCKING SHOOTS WOLVES FROM HELICOPTERS AND PAYS $150.00 TO ANYONE ELSE WHO BRINGS IN A WOLF PAW

what sort of person could actually shoot a wolf from a helicopter (and i'm not talking about a wolf that is attacking your firstborn either)?

Sarah Palin's Shocking Animal Cruelty
By Michael Markarian, Humane Society Legislative Fund.

GOP conventioneers were officially introduced to their vice presidential candidate who is, as Fred Thompson said, "the only nominee in the history of either party who knows how to properly field dress a moose."

But it's not Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's personal love of hunting or appetite for moose venison that should strike fear in the heart of every animal advocate in the nation--it's her retrograde policies on animal welfare and conservation that have led to an all-out war on the state's wolves and other creatures.

Her record is so extreme that she has perhaps done more harm to animals than any other current governor in the United States -- and that's a difficult distinction to achieve among our 22 Republican and 28 Democratic chief executives. Voters of both political parties who care about the humane treatment of animals must unite to make sure that the nation's worst governor doesn't end up just a heartbeat away from the nation's most important job.

Palin is not only a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association, but is also a close ally of Safari Club International. These radical groups don't represent rank-and-file hunters, but instead lobby on behalf of their elitist, wealthy members to defend despicable and unsporting practices such as captive trophy hunts, bear baiting, and steel-jawed legold traps -- practices that real hunters agree are inhumane and unacceptable........

this my dears DOES it for me

as if i needed ANOTHER thing to dislike this steamin' pile

Sarah Palin's Big, Sleazy Safari

By John Dolan, AlterNet.

Most people had never heard of Sarah Palin when she was named the Republican VP nominee. But I'd been hearing her name all too often, because I belong to a group called Defenders of Wildlife -- and in her time as governor of Alaska, Palin has used her position as governor of Alaska to ruin the Alaskan wilderness in every way she could.

Her most recent "victory" came on Aug. 26, when Alaska's voters defeated Measure 2, an initiative that would have banned hunting wolves from airplanes for sport.

Palin organized a campaign against Measure 2 and funded it with $400,000 of state money. For most of us, the idea of zooming around in a private airplane over snowbound wilderness just for the chance to spot a terrified wild dog and blow it apart with a high-powered rifle is insane. But there's a whole culture out there in love with the idea. Palin did her part by playing the tired old Alaskan pioneer card, saying that lower-48 naysayers who dared to object to the idea of dive-bombing wildlife didn't "understand rural Alaska."............

............

To get an idea of Palin's core constituency, just go to the home page of Safari Club International, one of the groups that fought hardest against Measure 2 -- and is now gloating loudest over this proud victory.

Even the name is a little skewed -- "safari"? When was the last time you heard that word? Most people are trying hard to forget the "safari" era, when rich white jerks had themselves carried into the African wilderness by nameless black servants, at vast expense, to kill animals they could barely identify..........
