If there’s one thing that Pamela Anderson loves more than making home videos of her putting men’s genitals in her mouth, it’s birds and animals and wildlife and stuff like that.
Pamela Anderson loves wildlife so much that she’s requested a one-on-one meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to discuss putting an end to the annual Canadian seal hunt. Because if there’s anyone who can single-handedly stop the routine murder of baby animals, it’s a girl who used to get her knockers out in magazines a lot, right?
The Canadian seal hunting scene is the place to be for celebrity spotting these days. If Paul McCartney isn’t rolling around the ice with the seals,
then Morrissey is boycotting Canada until the seal-culling is banned.
But so far, threats made by the two wealthy rockstars hasn’t had much
luck, so now Pamela Anderson (DVDs) is going to try and use her feminine
charms to put an end to the seal hunting.
Pamela Anderson and animal rights go way back. Just two months ago, Pamela was busy railing against KFC
for the way it treats its chickens and, although she wasn’t really very
successful then, she’s moving on to the Canadian seal hunting. Soon,
Pamela Anderson will host the Canadian Juno music awards, and she wants
to meet Prime Minister Stephen Harper afterwards to discuss the hunt.
In a fax to Harper’s office, Anderson wrote:
“As a proud Canadian who frequently travels
abroad, I am alarmed that people are starting to see Canada as a
country more beholden to a pack of greedy hunters and to the sealskin
‘fashion’ whims of a few countries than to the massive international
outcry against the hunt. One
of the biggest problems facing the US government is appearing aloof
about its own hostile behaviour I’d hate to see that happen north of
the border too.”
However, Pamela Anderson shouldn’t hold her breath – Stephen Harper turned down a similar request from Brigitte Bardot last week, and what is Pamela Anderson but a third-rate Brigitte
Bardot anyway? There’s also the knotty situation of the seal hunt
bringing about $14.5 million annually to cash-strapped Canadian
communities – and the Canadian seal hunters would have to make and sell a lot of sex tapes on the internet to get that sort of money back.

[story by Stuart Heritage]
Mary Tracey-Bastien says
16. Million dollars divided by 12,000 licensed non-aboriginal ex-fisherman equated to $1,333.33. before Canadian Taxes, before the boat expense,fuel expense,ice breakers, coast gaurd, etc.etc.etc.
It’s HIDEOUS, the way the Canadian Gov’t has taken and used a Inuit way of life and made an Inhuman Mockery of it. Inuits are getting fucked over again by the Gov’t.This includes the fishermen who are out of a job due to the miserable mismanagement of the DFO. They haven’t even completed a population count since 1992. You can get info from Greenland who’s estimation of the Harp Seals in 2005 for Canadian waters was 4.5 Million. You cannot get info from Canada. Canada cannot be overrun by Seals simply because they live in the Water. The Planet is 30 % Land, 70% Water. They take the Pelt & Penis, and leave the rest to Rot.
All this for China, Russia, don’t they kill enough of their own animals for “FUR”. The Canadians need their heads examined!

Opinions are like assholes.
Everyones got one.
And we all think everyone else’s stinks.

Why is it that people do not see the hypocrisy of having these celebrities preach against the cruelty of killing seals.
These are the very people whose unsustainable energy-consuming lifestyles are destroying the natural environment. They own huge mansions and apartments throughout the world. How do they think these structures are heated or cooled? They travel frequently on private jets. How do they think these machines are fueled? They would suggest we should all wear synthetic clothing made from petroleum products. Do they know how much the petroleum industry has contributed to the suffering of animals? They suggest that we all wear clothing made from natural materials such as cotton or hemp. Which section of pristine boreal forest, rain forest, savannah, or prairie do they propose we destroy to grow these additional crops?
The difference between the likes of Pamela, Paul and Heather, and the seal hunters is that celebrities like them are destroying our environment simply because they want to live the good life. The seal hunters are doing no such thing, they are harvesting a sustainable (yet cute looking) natural product in order to put bread on the table. The seal hunter’s environmentally sustainable lifestyle is out there for all to see. The unsustainable lifestyle of these self-righteous celebrities is best described as environmental destruction by stealth. Shame on these hypocrites and those you are mislead by their media hype and propaganda.
But I should give credit where credit is due; Pamela, Paul and Heather are likely doing their part to save the natural environment by owning a hybrid SUV.

baby seals are so soft! shut up and go buy yourself a new coat.

I think the seal hunt is like any other type of hunt, be it cattle, chicken, pig, etc. No killing is pretty. But seals are cute, and pristine white ice flows make a much better photo-op – really shows off the blood nicely.
I wish that celebrities would get their facts straight on this issue – I’ve heard so many ‘statistics’ lately. No matter what someone’s stance on an issue is, I’ll respect them if they have sought independent evidence, listened to both sides, and made an informed decision, instead of merely believing what was handed to them on a fact sheet. I saw a press conference with Pamela Anderson today, and she admitted that she’s never spoken with anyone involved in the sealing industry, although she ‘knows people who have’. Yet she’s an international spokesperson rallying against the seal hunt. I don’t think the McCartneys had spoken to sealers either, and that frustrates me. I’m sure the people who do this for a living would welcome the chance to be heard.
Speaking of… check out this poster:
Save the Baby Veal: Avoid Cultural Prejudice
http://www.nunatsiaq.com/news/nunavut/60317_14.html
“… all cultures have a relationship to animals and … people in southern urbanized settings should not look down their noses at people whose cultures and economies are still closely tied to the harvesting of animals in the wild”
The poster is meant to give southerners a little glimpse into what it might feel like to have their own culture and animal practices judged harshly by outsiders.
