SF Store Gives Palin Profits to Help Save Alaska Wolves

100% goes to foundation fighting aerial hunting

Share

(Newser) – A bookstore in San Francisco—probably not a locale Sarah Palin would consider “real America”—is donating all the profits from the sale of her book, Going Rogue, to an Alaska foundation that, among other things, helps to protect wolves from the aerial hunting the ex-governor ardently supports. In noting the move on Green Apple Books’ blog, Pete Mulvihill does acknowledge the store’s “touchy-feely knee-jerk urban liberalism.”

They got nothing: According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, predators kill more than 80 percent of the moose and caribou that die there in a given year. To keep predator populations in check, the state currently has five wolf-control programs covering about 9.4 percent of the state's land area. "Successful programs allow humans to take more moose," its Web site claims, "and healthy populations of wolves continue to thrive in Alaska."

It'd be ironic if this was where Pailn chose to donate her profits. A guy from San Francisco donating money to an animal relief group isn't exactly a shocker, though. Good on him for making the best of a bad situation - if he had to sell them, he's doing it the best way possible.
