WARNING: This is Sad!

Ok, so we do like the idea of keeping our "go green" positive and full of good energy, but we can't help but at least mention this whole Sarah Palin wolf ad video!

Right now there is a You Tube video out there showing very graphic footage of wolves shot and killed accompanied by a narrator who states "As Alaskan Governor, Sarah Palin actively promotes the brutal and unethical aerial hunting of wolves and other wildlife". The ad is done byThe Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund and is said to be gaining visibility across the country. At firs the ad was only shown in certain markets including Florida, Michigan and Ohio, but now Colorado, Virginia and Wisconsin will have the opportunity to see this cruel, yet incredibly important visual!

According to an article by the AP, Palin is in favor of the hunting of wolves in Alaska as a part of a state-sponsored-preditor-control program which seeks to increase the number of moose and caribou in certain areas of the states. People living in rural areas who hunted to survive argued that there wasn't enough game. Palin did not not enact this program, it began with the Governor before her, Frank Murkowski, but continues with Palin's full support. The article states since the program began five years ago that more than 700 wolves have been killed.

If you haven't seen it yet, you should. ( we have posted it below) Although sad, we believe it is important to know politicians stances on environmental and animal issues!

Peace, L
