Objections to Sarah Palins Discovery show

While the world is reeling at the ecological disaster caused by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, environmentalists are up in arms about a new Alaska nature show on the Discovery Channel starring Sarah Palin.
An outraged reader forwarded information about a campaign to let Discovery know that viewers are not amused.
She writes: “This is the same Sarah Palin who escalated Alaska’s war on wolves and offered a 150-dollar bounty for the severed forelegs of dead wolves. The same  person who fought against increased protections for America’s struggling polar bear populations and against the increased protections for the dwindling Cook Inlet beluga whales.

"As governor, Sarah Palin championed a bloody aerial wolf-slaughter campaign that continues to this very day!

"I’m deeply troubled that Discovery Communications – known for their stunning wildlife-focused productions – would choose to embrace such a controversial and anti-wildlife person as Sarah Palin to represent Alaska and the wildlife that lives there.

"I just wrote to Discovery Communications urging them to dump Palin, and I am hoping you will too. It’s easy, just take action at http://action.defenders.org/eyeonpalin

“Let Discovery know that we remember what politicians do.”
