Palin’s Pathological Rage Against Wolves And Bears

The Viciousness Of Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin
VeganReader.com is not a political blog, nor do we find it correct to attempt to dictate the political views people should hold. Such choices are very personal. Rather, we speak here out of concern for the safety and well-being of all of Earth’s animal tribes and, at present, we are staring in a sort of pained horror at one of our fellow creatures – Vice Presidential Candidate, Sarah Palin.

As governor of the State of Alaska, Sarah Palin has sincerely frightened both local and national neighbors with her unconcealed bloodthirstiness. Thousands of individual wild wolves and bears will owe their brutal deaths to this misguided woman’s fixation on the execution of animals. This is not the story of an Inuit hunter spearing a Caribou for his family’s dinner. This is the gruesome spectacle of an unhealthy woman seizing power and using it to incite a massive, barabaric slaughter of some of the world’s last wolves and bears who are being gunned down by deranged, wealthy people from airplanes. These people pay for the opportunity to kill. In addition to mother and father wolves and bears being brutally destroyed in this manner, Palin’s followers have been violating the dens of wolves, hauling out 2 week old babies and shooting them dead. Governor Palin also set a paid bounty on wolves in 2007, offering $150 for the foreleg of each butchered wolf hauled in, and spent $400,000 on a marketing campaign intended to indoctrinate the public as to the wisdom of gunning down wildlife from planes.

Media and citizens are linking the adjectives ‘cruel’, ‘insane’, ‘cold’ and ‘psychotic’ to the character of this candidate for the Vice Presidency. She is causing a reaction of both fear and revulsion in observers around the world. What is the matter with Sarah Palin?

A Family History Of Animal Cruelty

The Humane Society of the United States has this to say about the pathology of children who commit acts of animal cruelty:

“If allowed to harm animals, children are more likely to be violent later in life…Cruelty is often associated with children who do poorly in school and have low self-esteem and few friends. Children who are cruel to animals are often characterized as bullies and may have a history of truancy, vandalism, and other antisocial behaviors. Researchers say that a child’s violence against animals often represents displaced hostility and aggression stemming from neglect or abuse of the child or of another family member. Animal cruelty committed by any member of a family, whether parent or child, often means child abuse occurs in that family. Calculated animal cruelty is motivated by a desire to harm…It is particularly important to intervene when a child is insensitive to the obvious distress of an animal, repeats a harmful behavior, or derives pleasure from causing an animal pain.”

I do not know much about the childhood or personal life of Sarah Palin beyond that she frequently killed animals with her father as a child. Could it be that, as a little girl, Palin thought wild creatures were beautiful, but had to deny her own feelings in order to go along with her father’s belief in the worthlessness of animals? Could it be that Palin had to shut something vital off in order to remain functional in her family unit, in order to fit in with the ethics of a family whose home is literally so festooned with the carcasses of slaughtered animals that it looks like some evil morgue out of a black nightmare? As an adult, Palin has also strewn the remains of once-living beings around her home. Could it be that these garish ‘trophies’ are actually the outward symbols of a mind that has grown diseased from having to adopt a shell of callousness around what may once have been a beating heart sensible to the majesty of wild creatures?

As the Humane Society of the United States relates, acts of cruelty against animals indicate a genuine intent to harm. Perhaps the tragedy of Sarah Palin is that the pathology of her rage has become so deep-seated that the thought of any wild creature still running free and un-killed in Alaska is too painful a reminder of the humanity she had to destroy within herself in order to be one-of-the-family. Normal, healthy children respond with joy to animals. Something has gone terribly wrong when an adult can only derive joy from their bloody and agonizing deaths.

When we watch videos like the terribly disturbing one above, created by the Defenders of Wildlife, our natural reaction may be one of outrage, even an impulse to retaliate with like violence. But I am suggesting to you that you give further thought to the disturbed psychology of this woefully violent woman, and realize that what we are witnessing in her is a genuine human tragedy.

Who Are Govenor Palin’s Defenseless Victims?

Climate change is rapidly bringing about disaster in Alaska, known as one of the last habitations of some America’s most beloved large mammals. These animals, the ancient inhabitants of North America, are now facing almost-certain extinction because of the combined realities of global warming and habitat loss. As if they were not already clinging for life to the weakest of final threads, these are the very creatures whom Palin has fixated upon for vicious, mass execution.

It is, in fact, a very lucky thing that Sarah Palin is so far gone in her mania for the killings of wildlife that she has let all the world see the symptoms of her disturbing mental problems. Just as we know that no sane person would willingly kill off the last members of a dwindling species, we know that when we look at Palin, we are not seeing the light of human reason. She has shown herself to be an extremely violent and dangerous woman who should certainly not be holding the office of governor. And, she has failed to hide the bloodbath the country would have to expect were she to become Vice President or the emergency President of the United States of America.

If anyone knows when the ability to respect and cherish life was lost to this poor wreck of a human being, it is only herself, or, perhaps her family. In her gory rage, Sarah Palin has tragically excluded herself from participating in the great thanksgiving many more fortunate people feel for the breathtaking glimpse of a wild wolf or bear, still roaming free in a natural setting. To us, it is a great comfort and spiritual support just to think of the white polar bear traversing his arctic domain, or the solemn song of the wolf families rising up to meet the glory of the northern lights. Only a very pitiable person would fail to respond to such noble images from our planet and want to destroy them with grotesque bloodshed. It is very disturbing to me, and to so many other Americans, to contemplate the state of Sarah Palin’s mind.

I will end with a final quote from the Humane Society of the United States:

How can I teach my child to respect animals?

Teach by example; use real-life situations to instill a sense of respect for all life. Invite your child to help you feed the birds or rescue a bug. With older children, discuss animal-cruelty cases publicized in the news. Encourage children to speak up for animals.

With all my heart, I wish that some kind adult had thought to help Sarah Palin in this way when she was young. I can only hope that there is yet a chance for her to acknowledge that creation was not created for her personal use, and that her place in the grand scheme of things ought to be the very humblest one.
