And don’t try to use “science” against them. They’re a bunch of inbred morons who came up to Alaska either with the military, oil work, or to settle near a couple colonies of insane fundies. So if you can’t shoot it, make money off it, or pray to it, they simply don’t get it. Or care.

They managed to overwhelm what used to be an entirely sane and well-managed state, actually, in a very short time, starting around 1970.

It’s my fondest hope that Alaska becomes non-Republican again soon – Alaska is actually where the environmental movement really started, in 1950s protests against Project Chariot and the other nutbar projects for killing native people and the wildlife and ruining the environment.

I would love to see them all pack up and go back to Ft. Benning, Dallas, OK City, and West Mudguppy Alabama. But you can’t change some things, the habitat is reduced, the climate is changing, beetles are killing the forests, and there are even more Eskimos and most Indians there, let alone the geometric growth in lower 48 Anglos.

There is simply less hunting for everyone – you can no more change that than Jefferson could reverse US industrialism and make us all small farmers.

“…And in terms of managing the population of caribou, hello, wolves do that best.”

She has obviously never set foot in an area where wolves have completely wiped out a prey population. In areas where wolf hunting is allowed, that balance is more in-tact. In areas where it’s not allowed, the wolves completely take over and wipe out the prey species (whitetail, caribou, elk, etc.) Of course, how could you expect someone who lives in Hollywood to truly understand a rural issue?

The species was nearly gotten rid of over 100 years ago for a damn good reason. Anyone who lives (not just visits) in an area with wolves understands that reason.

Imagine taking a walk along a trail with your dog…you are enjoying just strolling along, feeling at peace with nature when BAM! out of nowhere a wolf comes out and kills your dog right in front of you….don’t think that would happen? Think again, happens all the time.

Wolves are a very necessary part of our eco-system, however, they need to be kept in check. Their populations grow so rapidly that if not kept in check they become a real danger. You bleeding heart liberals are a a big part of the problem with the world today … it is like most have zero common sense. There needs to be balance.
