Script of "Brutal" (TV)

ANNOUNCER [v/o]:The more voters learn about Sarah Palin, the less there is to like.

As Alaska governor, Sarah Palin actively promotes the brutal and unethical aerial hunting of wolves and other wildlife. Using a low-flying plane, they kill in winter, when there is no way to escape. Riddled with gunshots, biting at their backs in agony, they die a brutal death.

And Palin even encouraged the cruelty by proposing a $150 bounty for the severed foreleg of each killed wolf, and then introduced a bill to make the killing easier.

Do we really want a vice president who champions such savagery?
