If ignorance is bliss, you must be orgasmic

This has come up too many times in the past two months, so I’ll finally make a comment on it.

Seal hunters kill these.
They are not allowed to kill these.

Seriously, look it up. The whitecoats are usually less then 28 days old, and it has been illegal to kill them since the 1980s.
Surprised? Of course you are. Paul McCartney and his wife didn’t pose on the ice with the bloated and blotchy blob in the first picture did he? That’s called marketing.

I’m too tired to even begin to debate the finer points of whether the seal cull is ethical or humane or what have you. But please, at least bring back this one fact. The only reason why all the tree-hugging groups use the picture of the baby seals is because of the emotional pull.
