PETA : Responds Sharply to Sarah Palin's Caribou Killing 'WTG PETA'

Sunday night's episode of 'Sarah Palin's Alaska' featured a pretty graphic scene featuring the former vice presidentlt candidate  shooting  and killing a  Caribou ... and several animal groups , including  PETA , aren't happy about it  . People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)  Vice President  Dan Mathews  released a statement to Fancast  sharing his thoughts .

"Sarah  seems to think that resorting to violence  and blood and guts  may lure people  into watching  her boring show . But the rating remain  as dead as the poor animals she shoots," the statement said.

Palin , for her part , guessed that the show might make waves and issued several statements of her own on  Facebook and Twitter  before the show even aired. To night's hunting episode 'Controversial' she wrote on her Facebook page Sunday . "Really ?"  Unless you've never worn leather shoes , sat upon a leather couch or eaten a piece of meat ;  Save your condemnation of tonight's episode . I remain proudly intolerant of anti-hunting hypocrisy, Palin said.

In Sunday's show Palin defended the act of hunting , saying that it's a common way to collect food for the cold months . Hunting is something most Alaskans  do to fill their freezers with meat for the winter ." 

The controversial scene featured Palin shooting the animal and the caribou dropping to the groung...dead . Later in the episode , the hunters cut up the caribou  so they can transfer it back home  and save it in the freezer.  "When you see that you have a successful hit , it's a great feeling of accomplishment .

Just a thought :: Palin made  $12 million last year ...Bristol made $35 thousands from DWTS and get $25 thousands for speaking . They don't need to kill for food ...Sarah Palin is not living off the land  ...oh please give me a break .

Did you know ? A Caribou is just a  North America name for a reindeer . A male Caribou will try to look his best during mating season by refusing to eat in order to lose his body fat . Males will battle  other males for the right to a female to mate with , males are also ladies men , possibly having up to 20 partners.
