Show Me The Money
Or at the very least a decent picture of something happening.
The anti-seal hunt wacko activist group Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is claiming that a Canadian Coast Guard ship “rammed” their ship the Farley Mowat yesterday and have this image up on their site as (I guess) supposed proof of the incident.
Color me somewhat cynical but that image doesn’t look much like anything is being rammed, and even if the first incident was missed you’d think that when they came around a 2nd time the guy with the camera would be Johnny on the spot to catch the moment of impact for all to see – but that didn’t happen for some reason.
You’d think that if there was “damage to the plates” where they were struck there would be pictures of the damage – but there ain’t.
Hell, given this bunches ability to record rolling video on the fly you’d think that there would already be something on YouTube – but as of 7:15EST there ain’t.
Groups like this are well known for pulling stunts to draw attention to their cause – I’ll believe this happened when I see some actual honest to gods proof that it did…. until then, I’m calling it publicity stunt bullsh*t.

If seals weren’t cute, no one would care.
And if people didn’t actually see the blood that the meat they eat contains ‘eh?
Baby cows are cute to, nobody seems to concerned about them. I know, an Inuk friend of mine was part of this particular project 2 years ago…. nobody cared.
Personally I think lobsters are somewhat cute, it never stopped me from tossing them into a pot of boiling sea water though.
I’ve hunted seal, get too close and they change from cute little furry critters to a vicious animal with a mouth full of really sharp teeth and a flipper full of sharp claws really fast. They also have amazingly thin skulls, thin enough that you can punch your way through them with your bare hand with no difficulty at all – you want instant and painless death for a seal…. hit it over the head.
A seal would kill you and wear your pelt if it had a chance. They think of nothing but murder all day. Thank your upright walking God he put us on top of the food chain.
