Actress Ashley Judd says a wolf management program backed by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is "incredibly savage ... it's not right, it's not appropriate, it makes no sense on any level."
Appearing on CNN's "Larry King Live," Judd repeated her criticism of a program that allows hunters firing from aircraft to shoot wolves to thin the numbers of the animals.
Judd recently appeared in a video for the Washington-based Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund, which also opposes the Palin-backed aerial hunting program. Referring to the former Republican vice presidential candidate by name in the video, Judd says that Palin is "championing the slaughter of wildlife."
"When Sarah Palin came on the national scene last summer, few knew that she promotes the brutal aerial killing of wolves," Judd says in the video, adding, "It is time to stop Sarah Palin and stop this senseless savagery."
Palin responded on Tuesday, releasing a statement calling Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund an "extreme fringe group," and saying, "It is reprehensible and hypocritical that the Defenders of Wildlife would use Alaska and my administration as a fundraising tool to deceive Americans into parting with their hard-earned money."
Judd said Alaska's program is a "distortion" of wildlife hunting under normal circumstances, and that the program attracts "urban hunters, trophy hunters from out of state."

Good luck to her. LOL It ain’t gonna happen.
She was good in her small roles in HEAT, SMOKE (hmmm, there’s a connection) and in her first movie, RUBY IN PARADISE. Kinda monotonous other than those.
Ashley Judd knows nothing about wild animals, wildlife management, or hunting. This is simply another Bash Palin ploy.”
Ms Judd is married to a guy that seems relatively sane and intelligent...
What is the pool for how long before he divorces her???
Judd's comment "When Sarah Palin came on the national scene last summer, few knew that she promotes the brutal aerial killing of wolves. "It is time to stop Sarah Palin and stop this senseless savagery." gives the game away.
The left knows full well that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin connected with the voters and the Democrat honchos are frightened of her appeal. They hope to be able to attack her on any grounds, over and over, until her name is synonomous with 'bad' and she is effectively destroyed as a viable Republican presidential nominee in 2012. Watch the Democrats swarm to the polls in those insane 'open' primary elections to vote for 'anyone but Palin'.
I fully expect that by late 2010, books will be published (traced to leftist money) written by alleged 'friends' of the Alaska governor, portraying Sarah Palin as some kind of maniac, drug addict, adulterer, corrupt hypocrite or worse, all in an attempt to kill her chances at a run for the U.S. presidency in 2012.
This is why this kind of garbage by some dopey Hollywood sock puppet for the left has to be answered and refuted, as Palin did, although her response won't get half the media coverage that Judd's attack has been given.
The game is on for 2012 and silly little actresses without a clue, like Ashley Judd, spouting fact-free attacks on notable Republican politicians (Bobby Jindal is probably next) are the advance guard for the leftist army, who probably already realize their 'Messiah', Obama, will be a hard sell by 2012.
We can't allow the left to define Palin or any currently credible candidate for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination.
She seems comfortable with this weapon
Whimpish or Mousey detractors should use caution.
She is trying to goose up movie attendance. Gotta pay rent!
Yeah I was just about to post this, anyone here who is interested in donating to SarahPac, email these buffoons
defenders@mail.defenders.org
and tell them that you will be donating money on Ashley’s behalf to SarahPac, that outta piss the hell outta them
I like the way she looks but the way she thinks or speaks.
I have no idea who the dumb bitch is but she needs to be told to go F herself!
Nothing against you 2ndDivisionVet, and I am only mentioning this because this is more written press than Ashley Judd has had in the last 8 months.
She was dieing a deserved death of obscurity until the last week or so. She obviously is taking advantage of the "Palin Bump". Sarah should take out a trade mark on her beneficial media interest.
What a waste
Yeah and Sarah is like what 10 years older? AJ proves that “celebrity” will wear on a person.
I never saw the baby pictures of Ashley....
Ashley Judd arguing with Sarah Palin is like a chicken arguing with Col. Sanders.
What Palin needs to relay to Judd is pretty simple. Unlike you, I have been vetted by an electorate, they have chosen me because of my leadership in the State of Alaska. If you would like to change how Alaska operates, move here and run for office, or stay in California and STFU.
But, as a politician, you cannot respond to every absurd criticism. Not only is it not possible in the practical sense, it encourages them.
You have to pick and choose who you respond to because it gives them instant credibility.
I yearn for the day we can hunt PETA members from a helicopter....
Perfectly said. Thanks.
Obviously, she’s not responding to every criticism. Has she said anything about the NY judge who said she used Trig as a prop? Has she said anything about the article criticizing her patent leather boots? No and no. And there are dozens of other instances where she hasn’t responded. In fact, I don’t think she’s responded to anybody’s foolishness since her interviews with Greta V. and the documentary filmmaker.
Responding to the media makes a lot more sense than responding to a twit actress.
