Ever wondered why they, they being the World Wildlife Federation, Bridget Bardot, People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals, Paul McCartney and on and on have such a hardon re the seal harvest? Especially considering that when you break it down, the 57,000 seal seal harvest is minute when it is compared to the slaughter of 20 million plus cuddly, cute and playful New Zealand spring lambs.
No contest in the cuteness department between baby seals and lambs, lambs win hands down, so why doesn't the WWF, PETA et. al. freak out on the farmers of New Zealand?
I will tell you why, because the true target, the hunters, are easy. The hunters of seals are Inuit [non Edmonton Eskimos] and rural Newfoundlanders. Outsiders. Way, way, way outsiders. The men who silence the lambs in New Zealand are involved in the biggest export business the Kiwi's operate. Insiders. Way, way, way insiders.
Take on big agri business and there is a price to be paid. Take on a bunch of dudes trying to make a few, as in few dollars, e=z.

166...Why Seals?
Why are they, they being the World Wildlife Federation, Bridget Bardot, People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals, Paul McCartney and on and on so over the moon about seals?
The seal industry is minute compared to the slaughter of lambs and other cute animals that we like to eat and make into gloves.
Why aren't they, the above they, storming the shores of New Zealand to protest the slaughter of the lambs every year, a slaughter that is exponentially higher in numbers [26.4 million lambs were offed in 2008 according to Meat & Wool New Zealand; on its website The Humane Society of the United States says 57,622 seals were killed, no time frame] than the seal harvest?
Just a question.
