On Baby Seals

Two thoughts.

1. Would anybody care about baby seals being killed in the ass-end of Canada if they weren't so photogenic, and the methods of disposing them weren't so caveman-ish?

2. How hard core do you have to be to cub what is basically one of the cutest animals alive and skin it? Do you, fair reader, think you could club a baby seal?

Now for the infotainment section.

From some website: " A Norwegian invention, the hakapik was adopted by Canada in 1976 as a safe and humane killing tool. Seals were struck with the blunt end, and a hunter who lost his footing could use the hooked end to haul himself out of the water."

Basically, it's a stick with a nail on one end. Think a scythe, but the blade and handle is much smaller.

Oh, and shotguns are allowed too. Think about that the next time you're wearing your...your...seal-skin clothing.

Yeah. You won't shop at...you know, a store that sells seal-skin clothing ever again.
