And thank you Ashley. Fellow Tennessean here, and wolf lover.
Everyone watch ‘Wolves at our Door’ by the Dutchers, a husband, wife team that filmed the Sawtooth Pack I think it was. I was laughing, crying, and in awe at the beauty and structure of a wolf pack. When you randomly kill wolves you have no idea which individual you are murdering. And they ARE absolutely individuals.

hey ashley….SHUT UP AND ACT!!!! what makes actors with no formal education who work and live in a make believe world think we are interested in their opinion. i will never watch or certiantly pay to see her act any longer. keep running your mouth and you will see you fan base drop. if you dont like our country then GET OUT. take you husband and move to his country of origin.

Not a thing wrong with shooting wolves in Alaska or any other state winter is fine as long as it’s done within the fish and game regs. Real fact is we should be abel to shoot more wolves. There isn’t an animal in the wilds that destroy more game, cattle…. They’re horrible animals, not cute little pets.

Ashley Judd is just another whacked out Hollywood nut that has her our agenda. Her real attack is all political. It has nothing to do with the Alaskan wolves. Where was her concern for the wolves before Sarah Palin came along? All she is saying is ” look and listen to me, because I’m a Hollywood movie actress and I am smarter than all of you “. Gov. Sarah Palin has far more respect for wildlife that Miss Judd does. Ashley needs to walk the walk before she tries to talk the talk. Hollywood socialites need to learn that we do not bow down to them. Sign a Former Fan.

Alaska’s wildlife management policies were debated and bashed for the last fifty years.. Public attitudes toward wolf control in particular creates conflicts between people of different ideologies and I expect this will not change. Some people and organizations have no desire to understand and accept the values of others on this issue.

Wolves and bears are predators on caribou, moose, deer and other wildlife. Predators kill more than 80 percent of the moose and caribou — humans kill less than 10 percent. Wolves have an impact on moose and caribou populations, and this impact, in combination with factors such as severe winter weather or bear predation, can depress moose and caribou populations to very low levels. Wildlife management is needed to manage moose, caribou and wolf populations to ensure the continued abundance of all three.

Wildlife regulations are approved through a public participation process — but by all means, be sure to blame it all on Sarah Palin!

Instead of Hollywood types shooting off their mouths, get the facts straight before making butts of yourself. Ashley, you need to be better informes sweetie pie before you go off half cocked. Save the wolves, the whales but kill thousands of babies…what’s the difference. Get a real life. This country has a lot bigger fish to fry than this.

Regardless of how you feel about hunting and animals…I’ve been on boards where even die hard hunters say this is sick and barbaric.

They’d much rather see people hunting on the ground vs. cowardly targeting critters from the sky.

And moose and caribou are major sources of food and culture? Can’t Alaskans eat pasta? hahaha

I believe Ashley showed her ignorance by even doing this. Is she trying to say that wolves are more important than anything else such as human life, or other animals? what makes them so much more important? and who gets to decide that? And Erin if you were truly into getting healthy,(I am an herbalist) you would know that you have to have protein in your diet. (Read Eat Right 4 your blood type, writen by a Dr) Contrary to popular belief meat is still the best way. You just don’t want the chemicals that are put into so many animals. Where as in Alaska they have a much healtier life style. Not to mention you cut someone down for trying to make an honost living by being a farmer. So before you cut someone down you really should think before you type!! Also Ashley please go back to Hollywood and tell the stars it really is unattractive to many of us that they(Hollywood) think we the american people(more to the point Republicans are to stupid so you have to come out in droves to try to sway people to vote your way. Hollywood needs to stay out of politics. Unless they are running and then we will see them under the pressure and how well they stand up to it. I am tired of Hollywood thinking they have the power to sway how I feel. We want a change in America not more of the same and it seems we still have it. Stars speaking out on something they don’t know anything about. Everyone is intitled to their opinion but lets not bash someone else in just to make a point. And really Ashley isn’t that all Hollywood wants because they are afraid Palin will run in 2012 and we all know if you try to destroy her before you think she won’t run?

Killing such beautiful animals is unthinkable. Sarah Palin, would have fit in, with the characters on Hee Haw.
People who want to hunt should make it fair. No guns. No bows and arrows.
They should use their teeth and claws just like the animals!
Sarah also should walk, and carry her makeup bag herself!

I live in the mountains. We have a saying up here: Having the Sierra Club watch over the forests is like having Michael Jackson watch over your kids. Sounds like Ashley Judd and EyeonPalin.org is about as informed as the Sierra Club when it comes to nature and conservation.

Ashley Judd is sooooo stupid. When I was in Alaska with my son’s family a little over a year ago…the wolves were following walkers who were out walking their dogs. The wolves were grabbing the dogs from behind the owner and in some cases killing the dog. Then an owner put their little dog in the fenced in backyard for a few minutes and when they went to bring the small dog in…they got the head only. The wolves got to the dog in their own backyard.
Check it out on the Anchorage newspaper and Eagle River. People were concerned about their children waiting for the school bus.
Judd…I do not think there is a cure for STUPID. Sarah Palin did not birth the wolves, she is only trying to protect the people and yes, she is a moose hunter. Her family uses it as food.
Praise the Lord for good people like Sarah and her family.

Thank you JL. Did you know about that site beforehand? Or graciously look it up for me so you could correct me? Either way I appreciate it. Truly.

I wondered if there might not be, but didn’t know a site to check. I’m sure those cattle are treated like gold and have better lives than you and me up there in Alaska before they slaughter their asses and eat them

Erin

Oh yes Hollywood is so crazy to want to conserve nature and animals and defend them from being shot from planes. That’s soo darn crazy isn’t it? (snickers at ignorance)

Ashley, I am a fan of some of your movies. However, I disagree with you on this wolf thing. Wolves are predators and they are overpopulated in Alaska which is causing problems. They need to be hunted to control the population.They won’t be hunted until they become extinct. Naturally, I don’t personally know you or Palin. However, I think you are both good people, and I think Palin’s intentions are good. She is not just picking on the wolves out of spite, she is trying to control the situation for her State.
