We need oil. Eventually we need to transition to something else, but in the interim, we need oil. If there's a solution that gets gas prices back down to something reasonable while also making us less dependent on enemy nations, I think a few frightened moose are an acceptable price to pay for that. Besides, most proposals have us drilling into ANWR kinda sideways, so the animals probably wouldn't even notice.
As for the aerial wolf hunting thing, I don't see how it's that much worse than regular wolf hunting. I think it's mostly the fact that wolves look so much like doggies.
