pluie to be shot from the skies for cash

ok, not pulie per se, but wolves in general. the ny times reports today, in the wonderfully titled article "alaska to pay pilots in plan to kill wolves:"

Alaska will pay pilots licensed to shoot wolves from the air $150 for each wolf they kill under a new plan intended to protect their prey, including moose and caribou, state wildlife officials said yesterday.

so i ask myself, what would pluie, the wolf so-famously killed by ranchers on the west wing think? and then i remember the wise words of c.j. cregg:

"More people get killed getting change out of vending machines than get killed by a wolf attack. Number of people killed last year retrieving change from a vending machine: four. Number of people killed by a wolf attack: zero."

I have to admit that I don't watch The West Wing, so I have no idea who Pluie is, but I do know a thing or two about Alaska. All of you outsiders don't get it.

Less wolves = More Moose.

It's not about protecting people, it's about protecting moose. As an Alaskan (ex-pat), I couldn't care less if you get yourself eaten by a wolf.

I do care about yummy moose jerky in September, though.
