"But what can we expect from someone who puts a bounty on wolves' heads and condones aerial shooting of wildlife?"

An appeal for parole?

Due process is too good for aerial hunters, especially those who kill wolves. As if wolves compete for food . . . It's cowboy mentality. Kill all the predators.

People who live a subsistence lifestyle off the land never complain that wolves and bears and cougars compete with them for food.

"Due process is too good for aerial hunters, especially those who kill wolves."

I'd agree with you in general, but add "especially those who hunt humans". Let us not forget some of the delightfully barbaric war machines, like the helicopter gunship whose sole purpose is wholesale slaughter, that taxpayers in the US (and many other countries) pay for.
