Sarah Palin is under fire for clubbing a fish to death on her new reality TV show.
The Tea Party darling and her daughter Bristol, 20, were shown on a halibut fishing trip filmed for her new programme, Sarah Palin's Alaska.
After catching a fish, Sarah is seen beating it with a club and Bristol later holds its still-beating heart in her hand, a sight Sarah called 'weird'.
A spokesperson for animal rights group In Defense Of Animals told TMZ: 'Sarah Palins complete lack of compassion as demonstrated in this snuff video is disgusting.'
The group adds: 'Most disturbing is the way she seems to enjoy causing suffering to other beings. When they laugh about the beating heart that Bristol holds in her hand, their complete insensitivity to the animal kingdom becomes clear.'
A spokesperson for the Alaska Charter Association told the U.S. website that the clubbing technique is humane because it supposedly minimises suffering.
Halibut clubbing is actually a standard practice among fishermen.
During the episode, Sarah explains why clubbing halibut to death is necessary saying: 'stunning the halibut may seem a bit harsh to some but it's the safest and most humane way to harvest these massive fish.'

I was expecting that!
“In Defence of Animals” is based in California.
Shocker.
We knew this would P.O. the liberals.
Good job, Sarah!
I hope she clubs Obama in 2012.
It gets worse......supposedly she ATE the victim later on.
I was wondering how look it would take the left to loose it on that one. How many of them do not eat halibut?

Liberal logic:
Clubbing a fish = Bad
Beheading an infidel = Good
Everything tastes better battered and fried.
No kidding. The AUTHOR won't even put his NAME on the ARTICLE.
Oh, please. It’s a FISH.
Is there an upcoming episode where she shoots and guts a caribou?
LOL
People munching on steak don’t seem to realize that they’re eating a killed animal.
I wonder if she would let me borrow that mallet? I have a craving for a baby seal burger.
Sarah clubbed a sea kitten!!!!A delicious tasting sea kitten.
Another barf alert...man (male & female) are supposed to rule over the birds, fish, beasts...just sayin’
Someone with photoshop skills should put a miniture pic of Obama’s head on the fish she was beating... :) I would do it myself but...alas I have no photoshop skills...
