Clubbing - Norwegian style.

  • You know, seal hunting is one of those things that makes me really angry. Not the hunting, that is, but the fact that the environmental movement is spending so much time and money on this non-issue when they could be working on real environmental problems. How about global fish stocks, for example? Many, many species of fish and vital underwater habbitats are endangered. Why not put all that silly seal money into addressing that problem?
  • Fish aren't as cute as baby seals.
  • You got to move it, move it. You got to shak.. Oh, sorry.
  • If eating veal is fine by you, shooting seals must be, too. Norwegians eat seal meat and use seal skin.
  • Yes, I love how Greenpeace loves to spend time, money, and useless energy trying to make a basic issue of numbers into one of misguided emotions. If the Oslo office of Greenpeace agrees to house all the unculled seals, problem solved. Meantime, why don't they spend their money on rainforest preservation or some place where animal species are in dire danger of becoming extinct? *Growls

  • my husband and I always joke about opening Club Baby Seal--a lounge with great music, a frosty/white blue color theme and fuzzy upholstery. Deals on frozen drinks! Bouncers with clubs! and lots of pictures of baby seals. ah, wonder if it would actually fly.
  • There is a club is San Francisco called Meat (goth/industrial) A friend of mine, who is a furry, likes to go in elaborate & well-made costumes of various prey animals, and well...stage photo sessions. she posts these on her life journal, but I don't know how she'd feel about me linking them... last time she went as a baby seal, costume included fake blood packs that rupture on impact...I will let you image the pictures... oh, and sorry for the COMPLETE derail!!!
  • I was thinking: "Perhaps certain populations (mostly asian as far as I know) could be conviced that the seals have aphrodisiac (pu) properties thereby saving...." Then I Googled, turns out A study released in February by Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans links the advent of Viagra with a decrease in the killing of harbor seals - which aren't endangered - for use in aphrodisiacs in Asia. hmm
