I think the whole thing was unnecessary. But then Palin hunts from a helicopter. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.59.135.35 (talkcontribs)

She doesn't represent us Alaskans anymore, y'know. She didn't even before she quit. —66.58.209.27 (talk) 21:45, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

didn't have to be shot and killed.[edit]

I suppose so it just seems cruel to kill a innocent animal. But I guess the moose got caught in some fencing and became a "threat" to humans. 72.73.65.104 (talk) 16:01, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Don't get my wrong, I agree, but the safety of people needs to come first. –Juliancolton | Talk 16:07, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I hear ya Julian they had to do what they had to do there are plenty of moose in Alaska and safety for humans is key. 72.73.65.104 (talk) 16:10, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
