Wildlife Group Buys More Time for Pro-Wolf, Anti-Palin Ad

The Defenders of Wildlife, critical of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s record on the aerial killing of wolves, has expanded the viewing audience of its newest television ad.

The ad, first released for certain markets in Florida, Michigan and Ohio, will now be airing in Colorado, Virginia and Wisconsin. The AP reports that the wildlife group is also expanding the reach of the provocative ad so that it will air in Missouri in time for Thursday’s vice presidential debate in St. Louis.

  1. I’m interested to know you’re personal opinion on this subject. I’ve done some research into this subject, having lived in Colorado and Michigan and being an advocate of the outdoors.

    Nature has a life cycle, of course, and when you kill off one species of animal, it can effect other species within the area.

    A good example is the killing of wolves in area’s where caribou and elk moose are. Wolves like to stealth hunt from thickly covered area’s. When you kill off the wolves, these animals are free to forage those area’s where wolves like to hide. When this happens, the hunted species not only expand, but they start to forage in those area’s, killing the trees and bushes. This in turn effects the fruit of those trees and bushes which feed birds and rodents.

    Why are the tree’s and bird’s dying? Because the wolf has been taken out of the ecosystem.

  3. lets look at a place where wolves are scarce
    in Canada in the comox valley BC
    the area is lacking wolves
    and
    Deer are so populated I see at least 10 every week they are not afraid of humans
    they destroy trees plants and crops
    and crap every where
    when one entered my yard
    it severly injured my dog
    if wolves are eliminated
    the same thing will happen
    every where
