Do they not realize that the alternative to shooting the wolf is the wolf eating their kids.....
I heard a discussion about this on one of our talk radio stations. A journalist from an Anchorage newspaper was talking.
According to her, the wolves actually kill the moose (the young ones). People in Alaska like to hunt moose for their food. The reason why they do the shooting by helicopter is because you cannot get to these locations easily by foot. The journalist didn’t think Gov. Palin had actually killed a wolf like that. The ones doing the killing were some sort of official (can’t remember what type of official). It wasn’t done for sport.
