  • jburka, on 03/28/2009, -1/+22I'm from eastern Canada and disagree with animals being used only for cosmetic reasons. However, call the hunt what it is, a "seal hunt". Hunting "baby" seals, or white-coats is illegal, even in Canada, and has been for over 10 years. So, buried for false information!

    this will make a fine fur vest
  • tbhurst, on 03/28/2009, -0/+9Much more difficult to do as President than it is as a Senator. While he was Senator, he could hide behind (or lead) committees. As President, that is a more difficult proposition.
  • Gizmo688, on 03/28/2009, -2/+9Sea Shepherds are ignorant. 5 minutes of Whale Wars will convince anyone of the fact
  • RogerStrong, on 03/28/2009, -1/+7It was stopped over 20 years ago. And yet most anti-seal pages still show baby white-coat seals.
  • michaelpinto, on 03/28/2009, -1/+7Canada is sending kids off to fight in Afghanistan while one of our American "news networks" makes stupid comments about it - Obama is being smart by not getting involved in domestic politics north of the border.
  • ThatsNotPudding, on 03/28/2009, -2/+6Because this is much more important than trying to prevent another Depression.
  • RogerStrong, on 03/28/2009, -0/+4He'd also have to explain why he only wants to stop the seal hunt, when a similar number of animals are killed for fur in the US every *week*.
  • wo0dy, on 03/29/2009, -0/+2shutup plz.
  • Mockylock, on 03/29/2009, -0/+2Or maybe he's pretty ***** busy to begin with. He's having a tough time (though he doesn't show it), with the mass amount of screw-ups he has to clean up already.
  • wonkavsn, on 03/29/2009, -0/+2I wonder if anyone would care if they were hunting a less cute animal.
  • Mockylock, on 03/29/2009, -0/+2I agree. You could get the contestants from America's top model and put them on a boat to get the same retarded result.
  • wonkavsn, on 03/29/2009, -1/+2If Obama condemned it, I guarantee that Harper would as well.
  • lamiaconfitor, on 03/29/2009, -1/+2WTF? Isn't this like saying the fruit fly coalition is blaming Obama for not liking rotting tomatoes? look, this is some BS, almost as bad as when Bush Sr. was attacked for not liking broccoli. so he hasnt come out strongly against baby seal slaughter in the past. BFD. or is the correct answer to invade Canada?! Bury this article before idiots see it.
  • mbfielding, on 03/29/2009, -1/+2Boring
  • RogerStrong, on 03/29/2009, -0/+1Starting this year, clubbing isn't allowed.
  • inactive, on 03/29/2009, -1/+2We'll end the seal slaughter when everyone ends the pork, beef and poultry slaughter.
  • Tiak, on 03/29/2009, -0/+1Only if you do it in a baby seal clubbing club.
  • RogerStrong, on 03/28/2009, -0/+1They're not clubbed any more. It's done with rifles.
  • mastersmite, on 03/29/2009, -0/+1misidentified? they have boarded other vessels before without permission. that is pretty damn close to piracy.

    jokingly my friend and i decided that after we become independently wealthy we were going to buy a ship that looks like a whaling boat and arm it to the teeth with weapons of both annoying and boat-sinking intent and wait for the sea shepard morons to try and bother us..
  • Ragzouken, on 03/29/2009, -0/+1OBAAAAAAAAMAAAAAAA!

    I could think of better warcries to call out on a baby seal hunt.
  • jcroweall7, on 03/29/2009, -1/+2Whacking day, O whacking dayyy...
  • RogerStrong, on 03/29/2009, -0/+1Probably not. That's why most anti-sealing sites feature cute little baby white-coat seals, despite the fact that they haven't been hunted in over 20 years.
  • mthorne74, on 03/29/2009, -0/+1I'd also like him to justify why, exactly, the seal hunt should be stopped. No one in opposition to it has ever given a sound reason why people shouldn't be allowed to hunt these animals.
  • spyd3rweb, on 03/29/2009, -0/+1Will some bored captain of a submarine just uhh accidentally have a torpedo launch malfunction and lob a few torpedoes at this garbage scow already. Say you misidentified them as a pirate boat.
  • nardologix, on 03/29/2009, -0/+1What's wrong with the seal hunt? It's not more cruel than when cows,chickens and pigs are slaughtered. But for some reason because they're "cute" its more cruel.
    I like how Europe spends more effort trying to stop the seal hunt than it did trying to stop the genocide in Rwanda in the 90's.
  • theragu40, on 03/29/2009, -1/+1exactly. seriously, why are we wasting his time with crap like this when there is far more important work to be done? does anyone really truly care about whether he condemns a particular seal hunt? really?
  • khenn2009video, on 03/29/2009, -0/+0Get most profitable site to earn and make income for life!
  • winterorange, on 03/29/2009, -1/+1http://media.photobucket.com/image/seal%20club/sub ...
  • tbhurst, on 03/29/2009, -2/+1Did this one?
  • inactive, on 03/29/2009, -2/+1Actually, they're still clubbed when it's possible. And yeah, I bet it's great fun!
  • mbfielding, on 03/28/2009, -4/+1I bet clubbing baby seals is great fun.
