In my view, shooting such an intelligent animal is fairly inhumane. It's like hunting dolphins. But then it seems silly to say it's OK to shoot moose and deer because they're dumb.
As a dog lover, that's pretty powerful stuff. Is there some context to this? Is there a wolf overpopulation in Alaska? Is this form of hunting actually any less humane than any other?

Name one animal as smart as the canine family that humans consume for food.

Federal legislation (PDF) does have a loophole for predator control, permitting state employees or licensed individuals to shoot from an aircraft for the sake of protecting "land, water, wildlife, livestock, domesticated animals, human life, or crops." (This doesn't just apply to wolves; coyotes and foxes are sometimes gunned down from aircraft, especially in Western states.) Since 2003, Alaska has issued aerial wolf-hunting permits in select areas where moose and caribou populations are particularly endangered. The idea is that by killing the predators, the airborne gunmen can ramp up the number of moose and caribou that human hunters can take home for supper.

Palin's idea of paying $150 for wolf forelegs never materialized because it would have been an illegal use of bounty payments, which were outlawed in Alaska in 1984.
I don't personally agree with Airborne Wolf Hunting. This is not a humane method of controlling a population. It's unethical in my opinion.
This is not an Honorable hunt, if you want to hunt something, hunt an animal that will actively fight back. So you can take part in Natural Selection, by putting your cowardly ass on the line.
Matter of fact that is my answer to torture. If you want to answer for something then you should fight them for it.
Life is life no matter what form it is, once you understand that no life is sacred or safe then you will understand that trying to control life is akin to trying to control a tornado.
Remember while you hunt and shoot something weak for sport, something or someone may be hunting you for sport.
