Sarah Palin falls under video attack by Ashley Judd over aerial hunt program

In case you missed it, below is a video in which actress Ashley Judd blasts Sarah Palin for her support of the aerial hunting of wolves in Alaska.

It's the first major attack on Alaska's governor regarding this issue since Palin was a candidate for vice president --and it's just as vicious as previous attacks, with Judd, on behalf of the Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund, urging Palin to "stop the senseless savagery."

Allowing Alaskans to run down and shoot wolves from the airplanes or helicopters is certainly inhumane, but the program, which Palin supports, is considered a necessary means of predator control. Unlike previous attacks, though, this one seems aimed squarely at Palin.

In a statement from her office, Palin fired back. "It is reprehensible and hypocritical that the Defenders of Wildlife would use Alaska and my administration as a fund-raising tool to deceive Americans into parting with their hard-earned money," she said.

For the record, Alaska's wolves and and bears are "intensively managed" in six zones where moose and caribou populations are deemed dangerously low. Enjoy the video...

Shame on ashley judd! Please woman stop attacking sarah palin using this issues bcuz you don't know what you are talking about... just enjoy your rich hollywood life rather using sarah for your own interest,

[John Carpenter]

I'm no political pundit but this seems like bad news for Sarah Palin's political future.
How could any politician survive the lethal Andrew Sullivan/Ashley Judd tagteam?

Jim Brown's apparent belief that the 'true' story will be found at a self promotion spewing blog from Sarah Palin gives new meaning to the term lap dog. What's next from Jimmy's inquiring mind? An objective history of the Iraq War by Dick Cheney? Jimbo, parrots mimicking their handlers plea for a cracker show more independent thought then you and your Palin palaver.

[Chris]

Don't kill animal unless you intend on using them as a food source. Thank God Palin never made it to the Whitehouse.

[DEO]

The people of Alaska have VOTED NOT TO AERIAL SLAUGHTER WOLVES. Twice it was overturned by corrupt judges...Palin is part of this. The people said NO, TWICE!! The general consensus in Alaska is that is NONPRODUCTIVE.
Sarah Palin.Tonya Harding 2012!!

[DEO]

Oh yeah, you´re going to get THE TRUTH FROM THE SARAH PALIN BLOG, ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Oh JIM BROWN that´s funny!

While you´re at it getting lies and spin from blogs set by TEAMSARAH, drop on by to SARAHPAC and DONATE HEFTILY because Sarah wants a new pair of boots!!! OH, you suckers,

Judds video addresses the WAY wolves are killed.. HUNTERS DONT DO THIS, SERIAL KILLERS DO THIS. Prolonged agony with UNCLEAN KILLS. It takes hours for them to die...what is this disconnect?
THRILL KILL SARAH for PREZNIT! Sarah Palin-Tonya Harding 2012!

Just another Hollywood elite... acting like she cares... Stick to making movies Ashly, that is where your talent lies. By the way How many fur coats do you own??

I would like to ask Ms Judd what her views are on abortion and the programs that Obama and the democrats passed. In Mexico where our goverment places groups that does abortions in a country that actually has outlawed it.
Also how does she feel about partial birth abortions I bet she is for it kind of a double standard when it comes to savagery.
Also let Ashley go for a nice long walk in the Alaska wilderness with out a gun she might get the idea what the real problem is.

[Susan]

Ms Judd needs to put more energy into saving the lives of the thousand's of babies that are aborted every day. Her President has given the death sentences to more with his reversal of the ban on funds world wide.

[PO]

Ashley Judd is so concerned about wildlife and the killings but is she also concerned about abortion and killing of innocent life. Judd should speak out about abortion also when she talks about animals. It is hypocritical and disgusting. I have so much respect for Gov. Palin and her views.

[Robert Wright]

If you have to use helicopters and airplanes to kill a predetor running in the snow, how can this predetor be a danger to a huge population of caribu that
migrate in the millions. No self respecting sportsmen would do such a thing to a creature that very few people get to see in their habitat. WE have laws in my state that prevents people from hunting dear from their cars.

Many republicans are outraged by this stupid act against GOD's creatures.

Palin will back off this one, or fail at any attempt to re enter the public or human race again.

Way to go go Ashley Judd!!! Where do I sign up for this FRINGE GROUP?

Ashley:

Please, knock it off, We from Kentucky have a hard enough time with what the country thinks of us. It is people like you that give us the bad reputation.
Go back to acting where they tell you what to say, and you won't make a fool out of yourself, or at least you will get paid for it. PLEASE!!!

Being against cruelty to animals does not a left wing radical make. I think that Ronald Reagan was a strong memeber and supporter of the sierra club and other organizations.
Trap and kill wolves, fine. Making them suffer when they are only wounded is a different matter.

[Eli]

Sarah Palin is a whinny mean spirited idot. She does not belive the Polar Bears are in danger, she does not believe that huge chunks of the caps are melting to fast and she just loves to kill instead of helping to move animals around. She is not a great mom either if she thinks she can tote all of them around and then be made at people if they say anything. She is not like any of my kind of people. I don't have my kids associated with families that sell drugs.

[rabbott]

I'm with DEO...like the Alaskan vote against aerial hunting, Californians voted twice, TWICE, against aid to illegals and gay marriage. Judges should stay out of it...Did i miss the point?

[Linda]

When I first heard about Ashley's little stunts, I was outraged. Now, I'm just plain disgusted. It's very ironic that the very same person who thinks women have the right to murder their own unborn children, would take issue with the killing of wolves. What's wrong with this picture? Since when did the lives of animals become more sacred than the lives of defenseless, innocent human beings?

Ashley: Educate yourself. Or, at the very least, stick with acting.

[Deeragon]

Wow, Palin is using PATHETIC excuses for to continue killing the wolves. Seriously, someone or something made her mind screwed up in some time in her life to think she has the right to just kill inocent animals. Hey, we kill ALOT of more stuff than the wolves, and we're hunting them down? Something smells fishy about Palin, and no matter how many times we prove her wrong, she denies it even when she knows it's the truth....
I mean, who DOESN'T know about the economy, and I don't really see how donations to this program is going to be a biggy. Seriously Palin, just face it like a woman and STEP DOWN!

[Deeragon]

I know that Ashley has her ups as well as downs, like she is from hollywood and all that other crud, but she has a point with the arial killings. It's not right to just kill a wolf because it has to EAT. Seriously, what's wrong with Palin???
She is using the stupidest excuses to let her people keep killing, and when she gets really mad, she just throws insults....
Whoopdy do Palin, we're soooo intimidated....

[Mary Bailey]

You know how soon we all forget...WHAT ABOUT THANKGIVING WHEN ALL THE TURKEY BLED TOO DEATH RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR EYES....AND ALL THOSE MOOSE STEAK SHE EAT...AND ALL THE DIVISION SHE CAUSE US HERE IN THE USA WITH HATRED..

[VeryLiberalAtheist]

Im proud that Ashley Judd is the FIRST to attack Sarah (AKA the spawn of satan) Sarah completely is in denail, of whats shes talking about, when shes cornered she attacks others. Wolves are just as sacred as humans are. Shooting wolves out of the helicopter (or in any other form of hunting) AHEM
is the REAL MURDER!!!!!!! not abortion,,,,DUHHH!!!! u r ll pathetic

[Nick]

Palin wants to save the prey species so they can be killed by "sportsman" hunters. The problem with human predators, at least the modern version, is that the "sportsmen" go after the best of the best, the trophy kill. Most of them don't even eat or use what they kill. By taking the best of the best, weaker animals are mating and passing on inferior genes, which in turn, weakens the species.

Wolves and other predators take what they can get, which is the young, the old, the sick or injured, thus strenghtening the species herd. Palin is a sick human being and anyone who supports this perversion of humanity is as sick as she is.

Palin is also a Young Earth Creationist, which shows her complete lack of education and experiance.

Go for it, Ashley. You have my support. I will be contributing what I can, when I can. Anything to stop this senseless slaughter.

[christy]

judd is a moron.

[MNM72998]

a lot of what you people are saying does not pertain to the topic at hand.
1. on thanksgiving we utilize the turkey. we don't shoot it and let it die for shits and giggles. foolish is what that statement is.
2. where does abortion play a role in any of this. i get it, abortion is not supported by many, but this is not an issue about babies. my advice would be to blog your feelings out where it is a topic.
3. she is doing this because she is capable of getting something like this spread out. if you want to bitch about a celebrity doing/not doing something with their status, do it to someone who deserves it like, paris hilton, who does nothing with her fame.
4. you say do your research on how they kill the wolves, but do your research for a ligament answer on why they kill them. if you choose to support something with a sever outcome, you should be publicized, even if it means a bad spot light.
