Saturday, March 16th marks the International Day of Action for Seals. A world-wide call to arms, or clubs, to protest the annual seal cull. I would like to propose that we extend this level of zealotry to all living things. Perhaps in April we could mark the International Day of Action for Rats. July would be a good month to have the International Day of Action for houseflies. “Swat Not” could be the slogan. “Don’t Tread on Me” would be the rallying cry for the International Day of Action for Cockroaches. —Cumon Getreal

Way to go OP.
Lets NOT have a save the bleeding hearts day…Those people are so very annoying.
Baby seal walks into a bar.
Bartender says: “What can I get you?”
Baby seal says: “Anything but a Canadian Club on the rocks.”
Bahawhawhaw – good one, lowcoaster!
I don’t understand what seals have to do wth rats, houseflies or cockroaches. Rats are mammals but are not aquatic. They all fall under the animal phylum, is that the commonality? So do we!
Seals seem to make a great scapegoat for human greed. There has not been any discernable proof implicating them in the fall of the cod stock yet there has been calls for their cull based on little more than anecdotal evidence. I would say that is what this “call to action” is about. OP’s glib likening of seals to rats and insects shows what side he is falling on but also seems to indicate a tad of ignorance in regards to ecology and biodiversity.
But the seals are sooooooo cute…..
Save the pretty animals…
to hell with all the uggo’s.

But they’re tasty and their hides make great cold weather clothing, just ask an Innu.
At the end of it all will be the ‘International Day of Non-action’, as all the ‘actions’ will have been deemed to be cruel to ‘activity’. Oy! When is the next space ship leaving, please?
i don’t usually complain about this issue, but who the fuck gave critter guy all those dislikes? he’s smarter than the lot of you
Random fact:
In childhood, Jim Jones killed a cat for the explicit purpose of ‘officiating’ a funeral for it.
Sick fuck.
Thanks PG! Seems my reviews are not stellar on this one. The seals are a highly charged emotional issue in these parts. A lot of people hate them, perceive them as gluttons responsible for threatening a local industry. A lot (like me) perceive them as patsies who have little to do with the fishery collapse.
My side isn’t pressing the buttons today.
well everyone thinks they’re all cuddly and cute…
until you see how bloody fat they try to get.

We could always use the more symmetrical ones as CFL footballs…

that’d really Canadian it up, and definitely increase their audience.
So where is Super Dave Osborne supposed to get his genuine Saskatchewan seal skin bindings from now, genius?? Where I ask you?!
It’s kind of a moot point now as the lobster is the new cause du jour.
*shakes head*
…and the Germans want to save all the lobsters then rehabilitate them to start up a 4th Reich.
But don’t mention the war.
Hawhawhaw – Super Dave – right on, Vastie!
But they are so ineffably cute:

Besides – what kind of unfeeling monster would put a living creature into a……
Oh forget it.
Then there’s this, Ivan:

I suspect the Germans would prefer the latter image in their quest TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!
Das ist Korrect, mien GutFrau. I vill laugh now.
HA. HA.
Quick show of hands, Bitchers.
Who has photos of their cats (or dogs) confronting lobsters on the kitchen floor prior to sending them to “ride the watery lighning”
Thought so. Evil buncha pricks we are.
But Giovanni some are not.

Shizz jus got real.
On behalf of lobsters everywhere, eat tamali bitchers!
Wait…What Reg?
Lobsters are advocating the consumption of their own boiled/steamed interal viscera?
OK! 😀
…and a baby seal walked into a club.
Some crustaceans like to speak figuratively Avast-O. I think this was one of them.
I see I’m still not getting any love on my first comment. I’ll have to go cry on Boru’s shoulder.
