Oh you ignorant assholes. Man, most of you hate peta as much as I do, but you still believe their bullshit. Baby seals haven’t been hunted for 20 years, but they still use them in their ads, and you still think they are killed. Can’t blame you, I suppose. Why should you care?
And the seals are eaten, actually. It’s not to my taste (it’s black and tastes like a cod liver oil pill) but to each their own. Anyone who gets all high and mighty about a hunt that focusses on wild animals, killed in the wild, from an overabundant species, better not eat a hotdog in front of me, or wear leather, because I will call you a goddamn hypocrite. Yup, seals are cute, but so are lambs, and calves, etc.
Ask yourself why it bothers you so much, and then think about how misplaced your anger is.
The European Union has essentially wiped out the Canadian seal hunt (including the native ones) because they think it is a bad and nasty thing. Meanwhile, they are culling their own seals because the population is booming, but they don’t sully themselves by eating them, they just dump the carcasses.
Seals might seem exotic to you, but they are pretty damn common where I’m from.
And why is clubbing seen as so brutal? Ever been to a slaughterhouse? Me neither, but I’m pretty sure steaks didn’t look like that originally. I’m _pretty_ sure they were once living breathing cows who had a bolt driven through their skull. Or are they just stunned before being hoisted by their heels and eviscerated?
Argh. THINK, people.
And there was a time when wild animals killed us, and ate us. But we got organized and made weapons to stop that. Does peta think only humans eat meat, and therefore we are evil? And everything else eats grass? This ad sucks six ways from sunday.
