Recently, her wolf hunting ways have been called into question. According to a Scientific America article a site has recently been launched dedicated to stopping her.
What I find interesting about the article is not only the subject matter but the use of Logos, Pathos, and Ethos within. The article is featured in a column called "Ask the Experts" lending to its credibility. Within the article they appeal to Pathos by quoting a movie star, giving a glamorous image to Sarah Palin's opposition. They further appeal to Logos by stating such facts as:
"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."
Overall I just found the article interesting for it blended appeal. I would also suggest reading other people's comments to it. Its very interesting to see how others react and what they react to.
