Can you believe it? The Discovery Channel (parent company Discovery Communications) will soon be airing a "reality style" show about Alaska titled "Sarah Palin's Alaska".
Yep, Sarah Palin is cashing-in – again, and apparently Discovery Communications is cashing-in on Palin's alleged popularity. I am outraged! Sarah Palin has demonstrated nothing but complete disregard, and even contempt, for wildlife and our environment. How can Sarah Palin be “the star” in a show about Alaska? How can Discovery produce a program about the wild Alaskan environment and its wildlife (most notably, wolves and polar bears) when Sarah Palin championed an aerial wolf-slaughter campaign that is still happening today?! She is also in favor of drilling (“Drill baby drill!”) in critical habitat for polar bears and other arctic species. And she will be a spokesperson for a show celebrating Alaska’s wildlands?!
Discovery must get her face OFF its channel! What a terrible loss for wildlife and the environment if the American public continues to be misled about Palin’s (and other politicians of her ilk) anti-wildlife and anti-environment policies.
I am outraged. If you would like to support a growing effort to make sure this farce of a show never airs, please visit Discovery Communications “viewer relations” page and write an angry letter.
