This is sure to win the Palin vote.

These people are bat-shit crazy, and it’s beyond obvious that their control of all the levers of power is existentially dangerous.

I don’t get how it is even pleasurable. I would have thought that the pleasure of hunting would be in the hunt. The stalking. The effecting a terrific shot at a moving target.

Walking up to a hibernating bear and its cubs, and slaughtering them in their sleep…wtf?

I think it’s being done to decrease predators and increase the numbers of trophy animals for tourist hunters.

The state of Alaska, especially since the enactment of the Intensive Management Act, has been on a crusade to use well-heeled trophy hunters and state agents to drive down the numbers of grizzly bears, black bears, and wolves, in order to create more moose and caribou for hunters to shoot. In pursuit of this goal, it’s authorized all manner of appalling practices, including hunting and killing methods forbidden by the FWS rule on their lands.

Roger Waters, from “Perfect Sense Part 2”:

Can’t you see
It all makes perfect sense
Expressed in dollars and cents
Pounds shillings and pence
Can’t you see
It all makes perfect sense
