Eric, wouldn't you agree that the video is a gross exaggeration of the act?

I mean, flying a plane just to shoot some wolf is kind of overkill and expensive, like you hinted at. But doesn't the poor wolf, who is "riddled with gunshots, biting at their backs in agony," just die in the same way any other wolf dies from hunting? I could have given just as gruesome of a description of a poor caribou that was just killed by a wolf. Or a fish that was just hooked by a guy on a boat. Come on.

The comedic value of that video is the way they portray Sarah Palin, and perhaps all hunters in general, as sub-human beings on the level of Michael Vick. I'm sure there are hunters out there who are indeed cruel to animals and are just in the sport to make up for their "shortcomings," but like I said, to lump Sarah Palin and all other hunters into the same group as them is to paint with an overly broad brush.
