Sarah Palin to be in Auburn New York June 6, Defenders of Wildlife wants to run an Ad

[Annces]

On June 6th, we have a unique chance to reach more citizens and media about the Palin carnage. She is scheduled to be in Auburn, New York to celebrate 50 years of Alaska statehood and New Yorker William Seward’s 1867 purchase of Alaska -- a purchase then known as “Seward’s Folly.”


We’ve seen appalling new images of Governor Sarah Palin’s cruel war on wolves -- pictures Palin would never want seen on a postcard from Alaska: Wolf carcasses skinned and stacked in piles in the woods; Dead wolves riddled with buckshot and lying bloody in the snow; Sarah Palin’s hired killers smiling and posing in front of an airplane loaded down with recently slaughtered wolves.

Access to these awful photos is currently restricted. Our sister organization Defenders of Wildlife has filed a request under Alaska’s Open Records Act to make these photos public.

After Palin's henchmen executed 14 poor pups last summer -- with a shot each to the head -- and more than 250 wolves were killed during the recently concluded 2008/2009 aerial gunning season, Palin's administration is resorting to even more extreme tactics to kill wolves.

This summer, poison gas bombs will be thrown into dens and snares will be set at the mouths of dens to kill off newborn pups and to prevent wolf numbers from increasing.

Extreme wolf-killing programs like these are already having a devastating effect on wolf populations. Wolf population estimates indicate that almost all of the wolves in the Upper Yukon/Tanana predator control region (near the Yukon Charlie Rivers National Wildlife Preserve) may have been killed over the winter, with 133 wolves killed by aerial gunning and another 80 expected to be trapped. The National Park Service estimates that up to 213 wolves made their homes in the Upper Yukon / Tanana predator control region prior to this past winter’s “control” efforts.


Don’t let Palin and her trophy hunting cronies get away with it. Please donate now to help save the lives of wolves targeted by Palin’s brutal programs.

Besides keeping the media heat on Palin, your compassionate contribution will build momentum for passage of federal legislation to end her aerial wolf-killing programs an effort that has already garnered more than 30 original co-sponsors for the Protect America’s Wildlife (PAW) Act.

With your caring support, we will end this cruelty.

With Gratitude,


Rodger Schlickeisen

Sarah Palin agrees to come to Auburn June 6 for Founders Day

Gov. Sarah Palin is coming to Auburn June 6.

…

Auburn's Meghan Stapleton, Palin's former press secretary who continues to work for her as a spokesman in nongovernment matters, confirmed the visit with Auburn officials in recent days.

Alaska and Auburn are linked through William H. Seward, who lived much of his adult life in Auburn and was secretary of state under Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. Seward negotiated the deal with Russia in which the U.S. bought Alaska on March 30, 1867, for $7.2 million.

Stapleton's father, Auburn lawyer T. David Stapleton, sits on the board of the Seward House in Auburn, and wrote the invitation on behalf of the city and the Seward House.

…

Then there is Auburn's Meghan Stapleton, Palin's former press secretary who continues to work for her as a spokeswoman in nongovernment matters.

…

An Auburn committee planning the June 6 event, which will include a parade with a dog sled, is calling it Founders Day. The date has no historical significance for Auburn or Alaska. Alaska became a state in January 1959; Seward Day, an Alaskan state holiday, falls on the last Monday in March.

Auburn organizers chose June 6 to celebrate because it's an open date between Memorial Day and July 4, before schools are out, said Maxine Alberici, a committee member.

"Once school ends," Alberici said, "it's nearly impossible to get marching bands."

3. I support hunting

Why don't they attack her on the many things of substance she could be attacked for? Like how her parties policy has gotten America into a second great depression. She supports policy that would worsen the great depression and continue the suffering felt across the nation.

Instead of anti-hunting garbage more designed to emotionally instigate than thoughtfully provoke.

4. Re: Why don't they attack her on the many things of substance she could be attacked for?

Because they're "Defenders of Wildlife?" You know… that's their thing.

5. Their thing is to whine about Wolf Hunting

While the excess consumption that is really destroying the earth is being perpetuated by all their members and advanced by both parties in government. I guess there thing is to be irrelevant instead of offering sound condemnation.

While not attack her for being from Alaska and in the pocket of big oil. For the environmental troubles from the Bush administration and her party.

6. The animals deserve to be here

and should not be hunted for no reason at all, other than their existence. And it is good to go after her for this, because it is destructive and horrific, though obviously not to you.

What are you, an environmentalist who only cares about human needs.

8. Um, kinda, yeah…

About Us

Founded in 1947, Defenders of Wildlife is one of the country’s leaders in science-based, results-oriented wildlife conservation. We stand out in our commitment to saving imperiled wildlife and championing the Endangered Species Act, the landmark law that protects them.

Mission

Defenders of Wildlife is a national, nonprofit membership organization dedicated to the protection of all native animals and plants in their natural communities.

Goals

We work to protect and restore America’s native wildlife, safeguard habitat, resolve conflicts, work across international borders and educate and mobilize the public.

From the President

“Our nation’s wildlife and wild places are precious gifts that enrich our planet and sustain us. But nearly everywhere, natural habitats—home to all kinds of creatures—are being destroyed to make way for new shopping malls, roads and housing developments. Meanwhile, in the halls of Congress, some politicians are eager to open public lands to oil drilling. Others are pressing to unravel the Endangered Species Act, our country’s pre-eminent wildlife conservation law. And beyond our borders, millions of animals are being exploited or killed illegally each year—becoming pets, food or souvenirs. With so many threats, concerned citizens are coming to the defense of America’s wildlife, and Defenders of Wildlife is proud to be a leader in the fight to preserve our nation’s animals and plants for generations to come.”

…

However, perhaps I've been misinformed by hunters. I thought hunting was about pursuit, and not simple slaughter.

Is this what you call "hunting?"

…

This summer, poison gas bombs will be thrown into dens and snares will be set at the mouths of dens to kill off newborn pups and to prevent wolf numbers from increasing.
