Sarah Palin is in the news again. This time it's not her politics. It's for fishing!
Palin and her daughter Bristol were featured on the ex-vice-presidential nominee's new reality TV show 'Sarah Palin's Alaska' which showed them on a halibut fishing excursion.
On the program, the former Alaska governor was filmed clubbing a fish to death, then holding its still-beating heart in her hands for television cameras.

For the record, I couldn't find a copy of the video. The fish in question is a halibut and clubbing them is the most humane way to guarantee their demise. It is the apparent relishing of the act by Palin that has outraged the US animal rights advocates In Defence of Animals.
During the program, Palin explains why clubbing halibut to death is necessary.
Since clubbing is part of halibut harvest, Palin would have to get the benefit of the doubt in this case since we don't have video of the event.
Relish??? Maybe that's in the eye of the beholder. OR those who didn't see it.
