Brutal Assessment of Palin's Environmental Record in Today's Guardian
Find it here.
Great quote from Chris Mooney on an Alaskan-as-Climate-Change-Denier, and this:
The statement that Palin spent (big) public money on supporting aerial wolf hunting was new, and striking, to me. On evidence that the wolf issue has broader political salience, see Alicia's post here.This summer, she reached new lows in the eyes of conservationists by
approving the killing of black bear sows with cubs. The year before,
she put a $150 bounty on wolf paws to entice hunters to kill more of
these elusive wild dogs. She also spent $400,000 of public money to
defeat an initiative that would have banned aerial hunting of wolves
for sport."Palin is an environmental horror story," claims
conservationist Dave Chandler. "Alaska's out-of-control wolf slaughter
is pretty brutal. When she approved the killing of all wolves in the
Cold Bay area, state officials illegally killed 14 wolf pups - after
killing their mothers - by dragging them out of their dens and shooting
them."
