OK, I just saw that this is from the Defenders of Wildlife, they're the hunting world's equivalent of the ANTI DEFAMATION LEAGUE.
Whether or not that is true, does that make the slaughter of these creatures any less repulsive or senseless? Wolves are the ancient ancestors of the dog, and as such, should be treated with respect.
Or are you ok with shooting dogs from the air as well?

That's a convenient notion and self-righteous excuse if you plan on killing them.

You said that earlier. You sound like a broken record player. Anyway Adam is the name of a man. That being so someone probably took his name and used it as the name for mankind. Not that complicated. I'm surprised you didn't figure it out. On second thought no i'm not.
I couldn't find the regulation that allows hunters to hunt from an airplane, please find the regulation that permits it:
Are you now trying to say this does not happen, and is not official State of Alaska policy?

The Sarah Palin bullshit is to be observed within the context that to do arial wolf hunting, in the interest of public safety, mandates that the aircraft are far more of a public threat, than the wolves. Not to mention that the FAA prohibits the actions proposed, even within the context of "public use aircraft" regulations.
If a wolf is far enough away from civilization to be hunted from the air; there is no threat to the public.
That's Sarah Palin and her Tampax thinking. It really is that simple.
I guess I flew the Alaskan "bush" for too many years (15). Makes a fella overly pragmatic and sensible - not very popular, these days.
Only to those who know absolutely nothing about Hebrew and believe whatever bullshit somebody tells them because it makes them feel good.
So again, what DATE DID GOD CREATE THE EARTH? I wouldn't ask if you didn't firmly say you knew what it was.

Uh huh. The people that wrote it didn't mean it was any particular man, it was in fact the word for HUMAN (or HUMANKIND). It's only because some people of limited intelligence needed a nice little fairytale to make them happy that the English translation changed the meaning of the text.

I don't really know the exact date, but I am sure it was a Sunday.
Approx. 6000 years ago is a good estimate though
Do you REALLY believe that?

That's the problem here.. this is being done mostly by Out of Stater's, that spend big money, to have the joy of a kill. Most don't even eat the meat nor keep their kill. The last report I got on this issue, was most of the kills, end up dog food..
Uh huh. Now give us the exact year in terms of BC, as unfortunately your AC era is undefined.

BTW, did you know that Sumeria was a civilization with cities, agriculture, government, and science around that time? Are you saying the Sumerians popped up magically all of sudden out of nothing?
In fact, the Sumerian civilization can be traced back to 5300 BC.
That's 7300 years ago, and there were people around WAY before them...

I couldn't find the regulation that allows hunters to hunt from an airplane, please find the regulation that permits it:
The FAA prohibits what's proposed by Sarah - that caps the issue, by itself.
In Alaskan history, many of the 'seasonal' aircraft crashes are from what's termed the "moose stall." A stupid pilot spots a moose, then circles it, oblivious to the fact that the aircraft is flying too low, down-wind, with a visual speed (groundspeed) far more than the actual airspeed, required to keep the aircraft from stalling. Even with quick reflexes, the aircraft ends up stalling and impacting the ground, before achieving functional flying airspeed. Even with the "stall warning" going off, pilots get so mentally and visually focused on the moose, that they don't hear it - so report a handful of surviving pilots & their passengers.
So, Sarah now wants to invent the "wolf stall." (And McCain wonders what went wrong.)
I just defined it. It was the date of creation 0 at creation
Ok, then I say the Earth formed billions of years ago, and life did not all of sudden pop up, it took another billion years or so for sentient creatures to walk the Earth.
In fact, what about all the other worlds being created as we speak? They aren't forming in a day, they are still being formed from gasses. Why doesn't the Bible speak about them, and why THEY aren't forming in a day?
In fact, are you sure you know how long a day is in the eyes of the Creator?

Oh God, you're right. I want to cry - I remember listening to it in a restaurant across from the Army Recruiting Office in Anchorage. That was 40 years ago! Too bad I missed its message, I could have slit my wrists & avoided all this anguish!
If I didn't love you so much, I'd accuse you of cruelty - 40 fuckin' years ago; my God!
Thing is, there are MANY other things to eat. I'm not a vegetarian, YET. But I do feel sorrow over those creatures who live miserable lives being raised in horrific conditions simply to serve as food, and those who die agonizing deaths for whatever reason.

Why are cows more worthy then rodents. For farming you have to kill innocent ants, grasshoppers, crickets, and rats among other creatures. Why must they die for you to eat vegetables. Vegetables are for bugs to eat.
Any aerial thinning of wolf packs is handled by Fish and Game and only when necessary.
I don't believe wholesale slaughter to be necessary or morally acceptable. I think if a rancher or farmer has a problem with wolves, they need to get some attack dogs that will guard their stock, and fire upon the wolves when warned by their dogs.
Although you have to wonder about the wisdom of keeping livestock in a wilderness area teaming with wolves in the first place. Perhaps that's what Darwin meant by "survival of the fittest". I don't think he had helicopter gunships attacking wildlife in mind however...

What about RAID on wasp nests? Or foggers to kill bugs? What about mowing the grass. I noticed sometimes I kill crickets and grasshoppers. Once even got a baby rabbit.
