Some good "seal hunt activism" points

Check out this Victoria news column.

"If we're to ban the seal hunt on the basis of cruelty, by the same logic shouldn't we ban the slaughter of cows and pigs? The activists will argue that baby seals are defenceless animals. So was the chicken I had for dinner last night, but I don't see the pro-poultry lobby picketing my house."

"Taking the concept one step further, we have disclaimers on tuna cans declaring the product inside "dolphin free." Everyone's worried about harming innocent dolphins, but nobody seems to care about the tuna. Don't get me wrong. I'm not anti-dolphin. I'm just pro-tuna."

Cute ... and true.
