Hi everyone guys. you rock! Love your style.

I am from Africa and also now'm speaking English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "In many cases individuals don want to lose the time they put in, can face starting all over again."

Thank you so much for your future answers :-D. Ursula.

Wolf Slaughter

I have said this before, and am only too happy to say this agin, LOUD AND PROUD...WHY DONT WE GIVE THE GUNS TO THE WOLVES AND HAVE THEM HUNT THIS IDIOT PALIN? I'D LIKE TO SEE HER ON THE RUN AND SOMEONE HUNT HER W/A HIGH POWERED RIFLE...NOW THATS A SPORTING CHANCE ISNT IT? TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY.

wolf slaughter

she is going to far! wolves are not for hunting! the only reason you should kill is a wolf is in self defence! other that that, LEAVE THE WOLVES THE HELL ALONE!!!! i love wolves with a passion. it hurts me to see them being saughtered like they are. if she keeps this up then the hole wolf polilation will die out and never be seen agian. the wolves have a right to live just as much as you and me. anyone who is for the wolf slaughtering is a sick bastured and should go to hell!

Sick, sick woman

I am so disgusted by this information I could cry. I wish many bad things on Mrs. Palin. Many bad things. She is evil.

wolf slaughtering in alaska

this is inumane and untoerable to anyone who loves wolves.what gives you the right to shoot wolves? you do not own this country.we the people own this country and your polices are not governed by human being intellegence.its just another way to make a dollar in oil!! i am apauled at this very thought let alone having a free for all up there! this needs to be stopped right away and i know that i speak for many people when i say these words..stop the slaughtering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

video

just saw the video. HOW HORRIFYING! how the heck did palin get into the governor's seat in the first place? i mean, was she a different person that made her get elected before she showed her true colors?

i cried when they were shooting at that beautiful wolf. i do not consider myself a liberal (i don't think i'm conservative either) but i do love animals.

this video shows blatant disrespect for wildlife and everything that makes alaska a rare refuge for people seeking clear open spaces and breath-taking natural surroundings. everywhere else, things are being built up for the sake of making a profit. while i see nothing wrong with making money and getting rich, there has to be a line drawn when it becomes unethical; its people who ought to be regulated in their practices.

i can understand natural population control, but there was nothing natural about the way these wolves are being controlled here; the wolves are in their own natural habitat. i agree with whoever wrote a previous post about re-locating the wolves without ever harming them.

it seems as though palin is hell-bent upon making alaska a bastion only for those living things that she deems worthy. i'm SO glad she is not our VP. ugh, i'd hate to see what she'd do to the rest of the U.S.

of floridians and wolves

hmmmmmm...maybe "F Radin" should be aerial hunted by the likes of Palin. i wonder if s/he would tell opponents of wolf slaughter to go hide under a rock then.

Why

I think we need to ask the question "why" are they killing the wolves? All through the year people hunt all kinds of animals; duck, deer, boars, moose, bears, etc. Most of them are harmless when you think that they don't usually bother you. However, I don't see people getting upset about those killings. Most of them are eventually killed by people who shouldn't even be carrying a gun around, causing accidents to other hunters and probably doing much harm before the animal is finally killed. Bottom line: wolves may be pretty animals but they can be dangerous. I have read of stories in city areas where wolves have jumped little ones at parks and run off with them because they are hungry. Yes animals will do amazing things when pushed. I would not apologize or hesitate to authorize killing an animal if the safety of people are at stake. Too many are being selective about what they want to be irate about. What about partial birth abortion and how babies are left to die in a room if they survive a botched abortion? I am 7 weeks pregnant and YES THERE IS A HEART BEAT!! Yet many women will terminate that heart beat if they so choose, merely because they don't want to live with the consequences of their first decision- to have sex. So I ask....seriously you would vote for Obama because of wolves when he supports Abortion, including partial birth abortion? Value of animal life over a heart beat of a human...that's wrong!

Don't get off subject!

Shooting wolves is rediculous. Palin is a mindless, ignorant person, who happens to look good. You don't mess with mother nature...period. Freakin idiot this woman is...just like Bush...Alfred E. Neuman looking clown. McFrankenstein is no better. All these fools crack me up.

what the heck is wrong with humans?

first off, the wild has to be left alone we are going against mother nature and hello has anyone noticed the signs she is giving us? isaw the video and it was really disgusting. what i did noticed is that nobody was in danger accept for the hungry wolf which probably she was looking for food for her young,also the plane went out of their way to get thier trophy (SICK). so what should we do kill off all the wild so people can keep breeding their kids and hey did i mention spay and neuter programs for the wolves? if they are so overpopulated why cant they tranqulize them and fix the problem the humane way!! parents with children and animals SUPERVISE,SUPERVISE.these wolves are precious to our world and serve many purpose's and are GOD'S CREATURES and they are not our's to kill, that DUMM IGNORANT PALIN is a hunter and only want's the heads of baby wolves and the limbs of their parent's to give rewards so she has more caribou to hunt for herself, so for all you palin voter's watch out for your animals because she'll be in your neck of the woods shooting off your livestock and if you support in humane slaughter REMEMBER THIS WORD= KARMA, oh yeah and it belong's to MOTHER NATURE..
