"Shooting wildlife from airplanes is not sport -- it is cruel and inhumane," Feinstein said in a written statement. "It undermines the hunting principle of a fair chase and often leads to a slow and painful death for the hunted animals. This practice should be banned."

This method of wildlife management is not meant to be sport, it is a practical way to manage wolf numbers in some areas where it's extremely difficult to manage them on the ground.

I don't know why Feinstein and Miller think they know better than Alaska wildlife officials how to manage wolves.

Wolf management Ping!

Clear violation of the 10th Amendment

They are from the south and just know better. If you don’t think so just ask them they will tell you they are much smarter than anyone who oppose them, and will use language to tell you so in no uncertain terms. YOU RIGHT WING RABELROUSER!!

Two California Democrats have introduced legislation that would all but ban the practice of shooting wolves from airplanes to control their numbers. The legislation, introduced by Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. George Miller, would force Alaska game officials to declare a biological emergency that shows the imminent collapse of a species without the program.

Here we have two morons from a failed state telling another state what to do. These folks cannot competently govern their own state or the federal government as demonstrated by their failed policies. They simply do not know what they are talking about, IMO.

Those two idiots think they know more about everything than anyone else. They're two of the staunchest Marxists in Congress, elected by Marxist-dominated districts. They're pacifying their PETA and environmentalist constituents.

Typical libs.....find an emotional angle, void of facts, and attack it.
Around Yellowstone, wolves are out competing Griz for food, but these lib moonbats believe each wolf requires a Supreme Court conviction before it can be eliminated......

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Again California is trying to tell another state how to manage it’s business.

Time to break up California.

I think they should just up the bounty on wolves, and allow individuals to cull the packs. This would save a lot of money in fuel and aircraft expenses, give individuals more sport and not be such bad PR. Besides, there really is something inherently wrong with shooting animals from the iar, sort of like fish in a barrel.

Thank you! Couldn’t have said it better myself.
There are remote villages where the children are not allowed outside to play because of the danger of wolves in the area.

[ridesthemiles]

Feinstein and Miller need a refresher course on how much damage these predators do to the ranchers and the food supply those ranchers are raising to feed the world!!!

Beyond stupid!!

[tal hajus]

This reminds me of a story, supposedly true.
The ranchers in a particular state were having trouble with wolves killing their sheep, so the ranchers were killing the wolves.
The feds heard about it and sent some people to the area and scheduled a meeting with the ranchers and some environmental groups.
At the meeting the feds proposed that the wolves be captured, fixed and then released.
One of the ranchers spoke up saying,”I don’t think you boys know what’s going on here. The wolves aren’t screwing our sheep, they’re killing our sheep”.

First of all, they are Democrats. But this is really about keeping the negative news focused on Sarah Palin, because they might be able to have a picture of her in a helicopter with a rifle as a stock photo next to their story. Sarah Palin is their greatest fear. That low-pitched humming noise is the gnashing of liberal teeth as they fear they day that she comes into the Lower 48 to campaign for Republicans.

The Alaskan delegation needs to introduce legislation that mandates how California conducts its affairs.

[CMAC51]

We can’t drill in the Anwar Coastal Plain because it might cause problems for the Moose and Carribou, of which there are non on the Coatal Plain. Wolves do cause problems for the Moose and Carribou, but we can’t control them.

Doesn’t anybody get the sense of stupid people being stupid?

[ForEvers]

These two are an embarrassment. FYI, George Miller is at the heart of the water war going on in California. A massive farmer protest is scheduled for his office on 8/13/09. They will be accompanied by Central Valley Tea Party Patriots.

Drop Feinstein and Miller into the wolf infested area. Let them learn first hand what the citizens of Alaska experience on a daily basis. Arm them the same way they allow citizens of CA to be armed. It's only fair. No more than 50 rounds a month under some of the plans they have in mind. Make them wait two weeks before they can have the arms as well. Let the wolves and bears do what the voters of CA won't do.

[AlaskaErik]

Wolf control in Alaska is an Alaskan issue that should be dealt with in Alaska. Congress needs to butt out of something they know nothing about other than the drivel spewed forth by a small cabal of hysterical fanatical extremists.

[vpintheak]

Dear Congressional A-holes,
This is our state, we know it better than you could even know. You are clueless bastards pandering to the dregs of society. But out! This is a state and local issue. In other words, shut your coffee holes!
Sincerely,
VPINTHEAK

I may be wrong, but didn’t California Fish and Game do an aerial cull of goats on some of their offshore islands a few years ago?
