Seal-Clubbing
by tobstv @ 2008-03-29 - 10:29:54

Not quite an evening with the famous popster, rather, what is taking place in Canada as we speak.

Despite global opposition, Canada's sealers are gearing up to slaughter the first of 275,000 seals. The HSUS, journalists, and photographer Nigel Barker capture the final peaceful images of baby seals before the slaughter begins. A horrific article, I urge you to read and respond; there may not be anything we can do to save over a quater of a million seals this year, but we can put pressure on Menomama to go and do something about this!

Thanks for posting this - I made a horrible mistake and watched some of the footage and it's so upsetting, I have signed the petition and sent an email on -how can any human do that? I will not be buying anything from Canada from now on, there is a lot of publicity for whale hunting by the Japanese and rightly so, but this is also so terrible it needs to be stopped now.
:no:

I agree with you entirely, and good on you for taking the time to email your protest!

Truth is, there are many ways we can clothe ourselves without resorting to slaughter, I do think though that the Canadians are more worried about job losses than what other people may think of them. That is very sad.

I went Seal Clubbing once. The music was way too loud. :D

Seriously, there's got to be a more humane way to do this! Is it even necessary? Sadly I don't know. Too busy wrapped up in my world. Not good is it? Must try harder.

I don't know how you would wear a seal; or a club, for that matter!

Shurely we don't need a quarter of a million seal-skins do we?

And who's wearing them?
