    Ashley Judd to Talk to Larry King About Palin Wolf Hunting Strategy

    Posted:

    Ashley "Wolf Song Deer Walker" Judd, who is taking on Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her support for aerial wolf hunting, is taking her fight prime time.

    Judd told Women on the Web that because of the huge amount of attention she got for the video she filmed for Defenders of Wildlife, blasting Palin and the hunting practices, she's going to appear on CNN's "Larry King Live" at 9 p.m. ET tonight with Defenders CEO Rodger Schlickeisen. So far, that's the only media request she is granting. You can e-mail your questions to Judd here.

    "At first I said no to all requests, and boy, have they been rolling in," Judd wrote to wOw. "I wanted to put principles before personalities; once my personality helped attract attention to the atrocities, I wanted to let Defenders' principles be the answer to all inquiries and further news stories."

    She's hoping that with Schlickeisen by her side, the focus will be more on the group's ambitions, and less on her star power. Click here to read the whole story.

    Palin has shot back at Judd and the "extreme fringe" wildlife group, calling their actions "reprehensible and hypocritical" and "a fundraising tool to deceive Americans into parting with their hard-earned money." Palin says Defenders just doesn't understand how life in Alaska works. Maybe they should pay her a visit?

    Then 'The View' also stepped into the debate, with Elisabeth Hasselbeck asking why so many celebrities get up in arms over things like wolves, but not aborted babies. Then she accuses her co-hosts of being part of a "socialist table" when they try to silence her. Here's the video:
