So I just finished watching this documentary on CTV (or something like that) about the Maritime seal hunting that goes on, and I've got to say...WHAT A JOKE! I can't believe how out of proportion they've blown this situation, to the point of having so many social and political leaders, and not to mention celebrities all over the place (as well as throngs of protesters) combatting this thing. Have any of them eaten meat in their lives? I think so! How fucking hypocritical! Do they not realize that the process to produce their meat products involves exponentially more "pain and suffering", more inhumanities, to their beloved animals? Those seals live their entire lives in their natural habitats and then their lives are ended, for the most part, swiftly and without much fuss. Is that so much worse than sending an animal that has lived its entire life in a tiny cage, methodically fed rations, and then slaughtered (brutally, at times, check those PETA videos....biased, but whatever)? And then after all that, go out and watch a nature documentary! That's how the world works! Beings kill other beings for subsistence. Those people that kill seals actually make use for the animal. Maybe if they weren't so cute and fluffy people wouldn't care so much....
I was just fairly disgusted with the whole thing (that involved Paul McCartney bitching at lenght on some pretentious tangent) and I felt like commenting here....late night boredom strikes again!
