gotta love PETA's logo for their seal campaign:
just so everyone is clear, "whitecoats" (as depicted in the logo above) have been banned from the seal hunt since 1987 so all these images of cute white seals being clubbered are old and outdated and only serve to rile people into believing this is still going on.
PETA has financial goals to meet so this just puts gas on the fire for them.
another issue i have is hyprocracy. so it's ok for Spain to shoot arrows into bulls and let them die a slow death or for France to force feed ducks so much til their livers explode for foie gras but this is wrong? if it was a quick bullet to the head would this practice all of a sudden be ok?
i never really gave this issue much thought before but seeing just how much misinformation there is out there makes you shake your head.
CBC has some unbiased info about the seal hunt here;

in any event, the olympics are going to be a gong show. with the homeless people protesting, PETA and who knows who else, it's going to be protest central..LOL
