Yes, isn’t is amazing that “NO politics” were involved in this group getting awarded the “no-bid” contract?

I mean, this is the very same group that’s still upset about wolf hunting in Alaska!

Sarah Palin and the Environment

Former governor of Alaska Sarah Palin has an extreme anti-conservation record on issues ranging from global warming, energy and drilling to wildlife and habitat protection.

She may no longer be governor but her anti-wildlife legacy lives on, which is why Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund is still working to end the aerial hunting of wolves, and to protect the other wildlife and habitat her policies sought to destroy.

Drilling

Palin is a strong supporter of drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, a vital wilderness area. It is home to hundreds of thousands of caribou who use the refuge as a calving ground, more than one million migratory birds, and countless other wildlife. It’s the most important onshore denning habitat for female polar bears. Palin is also a supporter of drilling in Bristol Bay and other offshore sites despite the risks to sensitive marine wildlife in the area, including the endangered polar bear and Beluga whale.

They are such lying hypocrites!
