Title: Wolf management isn't about sport
Post by: mudbrook on August 29, 2009, 06:28:08 PM
The editorial first appeared in the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., understands the essence of Alaska's wolf population control program perfectly. "Shooting wildlife from airplanes is not sport," Feinstein declared.
Unfortunately, Feinstein doesn't seem to grasp the implications of her own declaration. She and others last week relaunched an effort to curtail Alaska's wolf management via federal law.
Feinstein did so, at least in part, because she believes the state's effort violates "the hunting principle of fair chase."
No, it does not, because, as she said, Alaska's wolf control program is not sport........
