While I personally believe as an American I have the Zeus-given right to harpoon zebras from a hovercraft (Don’t judge me.), Ashley Judd is taking on Governor Sarah Palin for allowing Alaskans to hunt wolves from planes, according to EyeOnPalin.org:
“I am outraged by Sarah Palin’s promotion of this cruel, unscientific and senseless practice which has no place in modern America,” commented Ms. Judd. “Because she is apparently determined to continue and expand this horrific program, I am grateful that Defenders will aggressively fight to stop her. I am proud to be a part of that effort.”
Not one to back down from a challenge, Sarah Palin issued the following statement on Alaska’s state website:
“The ad campaign by this extreme fringe group, as Alaskans have witnessed over the last several years, distorts the facts about Alaska’s wildlife management programs. Alaskans depend on wildlife for food and cultural practices which can’t be sustained when predators are allowed to decimate moose and caribou populations. Our predator control programs are scientific and successful at protecting vulnerable wildlife. These audacious fundraising attempts misrepresent what goes on in Alaska, and I encourage people to learn the facts about Alaska’s positive record of managing wildlife for abundance.
“Shame on the Defenders of Wildlife for twisting the truth in an effort to raise funds from innocent and hard-pressed Americans struggling with these rough economic times.”
And, dammit, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Sarah Palin is right. How dare Ashley Judd ask for a donation during these trying times of financial foes? Seriously, who does that? Downright despicable.

“Alaskans depend on wildlife for food and cultural practices which can’t be sustained when predators are allowed to decimate moose and caribou populations”
So, Sarah Palin wants to kill wolves so the wolves don’t kill moose, so that she can kill moose. What a f*cking hillbilly.

Agreed, let’s look to our leaders to be a moral compass. Like, say, Sarah Palin, on how to solve the problem of unwed teenage mothers.

you’re funny with all those links, fish… : )
i’m going to have to plead ignorance on this one b/c i don’t care to look up the facts pertaining to either side.
i’m much more interested in seeing how many comments this post garners. i’m going to aim high and say 300.
Trish | February 5, 2009 at 2:13 pm
Hey Sarah, the oil industry’s profits have sunk like rock, how are those windfall-tax rebate checks looking now? Hahahaaha. Bugh-bigh, Sarah.
RichPort's Cold Sore | February 5, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Ashley Judd is just jealous of Palin’s tits. Another Hollywood elitist spouting off on the “cause of the week” that they know nothing about. Fucking treehuggers. Judd got naked in a movie recently called “Bugs” and is truly disgusting looking, she should be worried that no one mistakes her for a beached whale and tosses her back into the ocean….
buckeyedg | February 5, 2009 at 2:14 pm
I’m no supporter of Palin, but the website thats linked here for donations is also an “extreme fringe group” of supporters for the governors cause that are just seeking money to promote her on their own. It is not from the governor herself, or from her staff…
Personally I hope she does raise enough funds to run in 2012… Most entertaining TV interviews i’ve seen in years..
P.S. Would still hit it… Judd too
Erica | February 5, 2009 at 2:17 pm
Sarah’s so understanding of the plight of the common man! They can’t afford to make contributions to environmental causes because, in her words, “they caint, you know, like just expense-account everything out, like the pro-American taxpayers of Alaska want me to do! I think I’ll spend the night at home in Wasilla – hey, Suzy, write up one of them government-travel vouchers! Yes, of course, with the hotel stipend, I’m stayin’ overnight aint I? Geez!”
Alyssa | February 5, 2009 at 2:18 pm
Wolves tore out the throat of one of my school mates in Alberta.
They chased him, tired him out, then ripped off half of him while he was still alive.
what about all the senseless murder the wolves commit?
Who will save the snow bunnies?
Fuck, people, animals are animals. Until Judd here start shunning every single product that uses animals, why care?
This is the type of bullshit I expect from PETA
Ali Knievel | February 5, 2009 at 2:19 pm
Man, Ashley Judd should totally play Palin in a satirical HBO movie about her life and the election. That would be awesome.
hahahfunnyfunny | February 5, 2009 at 2:20 pm
“Alaskans depend on wildlife for food and cultural practices which can’t be sustained when predators are allowed to decimate moose and caribou populations”
So, Sarah Palin wants to kill wolves so the wolves don’t kill moose, so that she can kill moose. What a f*cking hillbilly.
~How dare wolves take away Sarah Palin’s right to hunt moose and caribou, Have they no self control !?!
~Oh yea, and how dare “the extreme fringe group” ask for donations, knowing damn well that that money would be of better use if it were donated to say , uhm, the republican presidential campaign, maybe they could use it to get discounted “fuck me boots” for SP.
pete | February 5, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Did you know Todd Palin’s real last name is “Paling”? He changed it because Sarah couldn’t say it correctly. And I know why he took up competitive snowmobiling – anything to drown out his wife’s voice.

Ashley Judd on the other hand is like a cute little kitten that farts rainbows.

Palin is herself an “extreme, fringe group”, or at least she heads one. Hence the quickness to accuse others of the very thing she is guilty of.

#20 – nah, the guys who still love Palin harbor the secret shame of the wood they used to get back when Mommy still had her figure.
Mal | February 5, 2009 at 2:27 pm
Fuck Palin. Hunting from planes is unsporting and cruel. A good half of the animals die of a heart attack before they can be shot through sheer terror of the noise and unfamiliarity of a plane or helicopter coming down on them (they tend to fly very low for the shots). it’s been proven a thousand times over that natural predators do NOT decimate their natural prey population – that is something only humans do. Several studied have shown that hunters kill far more moose and caribou than wolves or other natural predators in the north. Humans hunt for sport from the safety of an airplanes where predators kill only what they need and risk their lives to do it. We waste; they don’t.
I’m a fairly conservative person but this is a hot-button issue for me. I’m not against hunting per se, but I am against killing animals for sport, or because they dare to compete with us over what is their natural prey. Alaskans don’t live offa fuckin Moose, either.
RichPort's Ghost | February 5, 2009 at 2:29 pm
So the balance of nature, where prey has always vastly outnumbered predator, somehow doesn’t exist in the great state of Alaska and, therefore, the prey needs to be protected from the predator? I blame Jesus.
#1 = winner
Christina | February 5, 2009 at 2:29 pm
I couldn’t agree more with the first poster on here. Palin wants to protect the moose and caribou populations from those damn wolves… so she can go and hunt them just for the hell of it. Yeah, that makes sense.
Seriously, has this woman never heard of the food chain? Predators are a part of life. If you’re worried about the numbers of moose and caribou, STOP F-CKING KILLING THEM YOURSELF!! You don’t have any NEED to as there are plenty of other animals you can eat.
How the hell this woman has any supporters is so beyond me. Of course, I need to be thankful for her simply because of the brilliant Tina Fey skits. Those made life a bit funnier.
Conky | February 5, 2009 at 2:30 pm
Those big bad wolves are really just angry puppies who really just want to be someone’s family dog. When they kill people it’s because they are mad about the injustice of having to fight all those helicopters.
Hilarious.
Thanks
Sarah | February 5, 2009 at 2:33 pm
I won’t be surprised if Ashley Judd announces she is pregnant sometime soon. She is looking a little off in these pictures.
Valerie | February 5, 2009 at 2:35 pm
Ashley, please take a Cultural Anthropology class or four. And get over your outrage. And quit blaming S.P., too–no one likes her, but no one likes a person who scapegoats, either.
BEAM | February 5, 2009 at 2:35 pm
Ashley should stick to what she does best: getting her tits out in shitty movies. Let the people of Alaska decide who they want to lead them and how they want to live.
Jake | February 5, 2009 at 2:37 pm
This is the new improved Palin 2012 slogan: Shoot first and ask questions never.

Cartman | February 5, 2009 at 2:38 pm
Hey, what if I don’t want to be part of the foodchain in Alaska? Fuck the stupid wolves. They eat people too.
Besides the eyeonpalin.org site claims there were only 878 wolves killed since 2003. That’s not even 150 wolves a year. We’re supposed to care about a wolf killed every other day, in Alaska, where there are millions more? Fucking retarded.
Stupid hippies.

Battle of the MILFs. I’d totally pillow-fight Ashley Judd.
Bmurphy72 | February 5, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Again, most of you act like you care about something you really don’t. If a wolf came up and ate your dog, or scared your kids playing in the trees, you’d be out there with guns in hand. Certain elements of nature have to be controlled for the greater good. Pretty soon they will start appling this issues to people.
Quinn | February 5, 2009 at 2:42 pm
She can cling desperately to the spotlight as long as she wants, but there’s no avoiding one simple fact: she’s the governor of a state that has to pay people to live there.
hahahfunnyfunny | February 5, 2009 at 2:43 pm

Jazmine | February 5, 2009 at 2:44 pm
You guys are all idiots. Have any of you morons every been to Alaska? The winters there are HARSH mofo’s. The people who live in Alaska rely on moose and caribou to survive – that is what they eat. They implemented this helo-shooting-wolf program because the wolfs are overpopulated. So to answer the #1 asshat’s question – yes – they kill the wolves because the wolves kill the caribou/moose. and YES, they are killing the wolves so they can then kill the caribou/moose because THEY HAVE TO EAT TO SURVIVE – you can’t grow soy beans and alfalfa in ice, dumbasses. Apparently, the hicks in Alaska place a higher premium on human life than wolf. OH THE HORROR
RichPort's Ghost | February 5, 2009 at 2:45 pm
#38 – I agree. It’s just like how Elliot Spitzer was so popular with the local whores.
derdoyeduh | February 5, 2009 at 2:46 pm
“If a wolf came up and ate your dog, or scared your kids playing in the trees, you’d be out there with guns in hand.”
Absolutely. But I’d probably skip the part where you rent a helicopter and wipe out all the wolves you can see.
“Pretty soon they will start appling this issues to people.”
As long as Palin gets the first bullet I’m fine with it.
Jazzzzz Meeeeen | February 5, 2009 at 2:46 pm
You can grow serious fucking weed in Alaska. Did you know THAT, Jazzzzzzzmeeen?? It’s called Alaskan Blue Thunderfuck and just lookin at the shit will give you Chinese eyes.
foghat | February 5, 2009 at 2:48 pm
When Palin nails a wolf with a rifle I guess that answers that question as to what would win in a fight, a wolf or a cougar
vince | February 5, 2009 at 2:48 pm
#40 – ok, but now explain why the strippers in Alaska have so many scars and perform with coke bottles – during the FIRST song.
Crusty | February 5, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Wildlife management and the associated practice of culling a herd is a time honored tradition in the American west, including and especially in Alaska. It’s no different that deer hunting in Texas excep that it’s done from the air.
If you outlawed deer hunting in Texas, you’ll wind up with 100K+ starving deer.
Different target in Alaska in that you’re protecting a herd from unchecked numbers of predators but the end game is still the same. It’s just good policy and those who object to this practice do so from the heart – but not the brain..
Move on..
