Thread: Is Sarah Palin Killing Wild Game In Tonights Sarah Palin's Alaska Unsportsmanlike?

I was just watching ABC news and they had a segment about Sarah Palin's tv show tonight where she is going out in the Alaska wilderness slaughtering animals called Caribou and other animals to feed her family. PETA and other animal activists are in a outrage about this and they think it is wrong for her to do this. Is it unsportsmanlike for her to kill defenseless animals? Palin said in the segment, "This is how we keep our freezers full for the winter" or something like that. Should we all be upset with this type of action coming from a woman who hunts, fishes and field dresses her own kills? One thing I wonder and that is, will this make her get votes if she runs for president from hunters, campers etc?

Sarah Palin Takes Aim at 'Anti-Hunting Hypocrisy' - The Note

In tonight’s episode of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” the former governor showcases the Alaska tundra while caribou hunting with her father. Beyond proving she’s a great shot, the episode is giving Palin an opportunity to “proudly” take aim at “anti-hunting hypocrisy.”

“Tonight's hunting episode of Sarah Palin's Alaska ‘controversial’? Really? Unless you've never worn leather shoes, sat upon a leather couch or eaten a piece of meat, save your condemnation of tonight's episode. I remain proudly intolerant of anti-hunting hypocrisy. ” Palin posted on Facebook and Twitter today.

Palin’s pro-hunting posts began on Friday when she urged fans to tune in to “see how we fill our freezers and feed our families with home-grown tundra-roaming Alaskan wild game. We'll show you how Alaskans hunt. As my friend Sue says, ‘the tundra is the type of landscape that will make a man out of anybody.’ And, PETA...” she wrote on Facebook.

In a preview of tonight’s episode the 2008 vice presidential nominee explains “in many remote areas of Alaska there’s no grocery store nearby. It’s 4 or 500 miles away. We’re down to just five moose packages, three caribou packages... It’s time to get out there and go caribou huntin’.”

She should have a big chaw of tobacco in her mouth for this one... just for effect.
Shoooooo-Weeeee, I so need to change my stats to republican, just so I can vote her in the primaries.

Damn liberal caribou!

They probably fear her.

PETA used to be a respected organization, but then they went nutty. The last two episodes of the show had Sarah and the girls bludgeoning fish and cutting them up. Hunting a caribou for the family freezer is okay with me. Shooting it, leaving the meat and taking the antlers wouldn't be okay with me.

I think these days, when it comes time to fill her freezer, she just holds a book signing and then uses the income to have groceries delivered to her home.





Not that there's anything wrong with that, btw.

Do you eat tripe, tongue or brain? How any meat eater be upset about hunting?
