Kudos for Russian leader Vladimir Putin for stopping the slaughter of seals. Conservation groups have staged protests in 20 Russian cities this week, demanding an end to the slaughter. Activists accused Norwegian companies of encouraging the killing because sealhunting was no longer allowed in their own country.
In order to offset the loss of the seal product market in Europe, Canada has made a deal with China. Although 40 Chinese animal rights groups have protested, they don't really have any political or financial clout to change anything. I'm not surprised. China as a whole still doesn't have a national conscience about these issues.
A PETA anti sealhunt activist was hit in the face with a pie in Newfoundland. In other news, PETA received more publicity for their anti sealhunting campaign when one of their protesters was hit in the face with a pie. That's good, because I really hate Canada's odious sealhunt.
She's referring to the pie thrown in the face of Fisheries Minister Gail Shea by a PETA member protesting the Canadian sealhunt. Tags: canada animal enterprise terrorism act seals PETA. It's pretty scary that a Liberal MP would actually question whether a pie in the face is terrorism.
Both groups will be protesting the sealhunt using the Olympic torch ceremony as the backdrop. Crowds gathering across Canada to watch the Olympic torch pass through their towns will also be greeted by a 12-meter-tall baby "seal."
