Many of my friends are posting pictures (from various sources) of piles of dead animals. Either from Canadian Goose jackets, the seal hunt, or the new one circulating of piles of dead wolves.

I think it’s great that people care so much about animals.
Or, at least they claim to…

Please, please don’t post pictures of yourself enjoying a burger, wearing leather shoes, and eating jello if you’re going to preach about animal rights.

And don’t tell me it’s different because “I would never eat a wolf/seal/fox.” —It’s Not Really That Different at All

  1. Aw sure it’s different op. Seals are cuter than ground beef 😀

    I could get into why the seal hunt is necessary for the health and well being of the seals. But that would require getting into a lengthy discussion about how the food chain works, how predator protects prey as much as prey protect predators. How hunting honestly is natural and how farm-factory meat is about the most damaging and destructive thing you can do to the well being of animals.

    But instead i’ll chalk it up to agreeing 100% with you and laughing at stupid people. The same people who claim to be “evolutionists” and yet do not understand the predator-prey arms race one iota.

  2. actually o.p., wolf burgers aren’t that bad, neither is seal flippers, a nice marinade.

  3. I wish I had a moose steak in the freezer right now…mouths watering like crazy just thinking about it…. I guess its going to be free range steak on the Barbi-Q tonight !

  4. I would try seal. Maybe the industry would have a better chance of surviving if seal products were actually marketed and available to the general public.

  5. Yes, no_fool, jello is pretty disgusting (well, gelatin is). So is rennet which is found in cheese.. plus the fact that many of us eat animal carcasses..

    tasty, delicious animal carcasses 🙂

  6. So eating a burger precludes one from having an opinion on the plight of wildlife or extermination of furbearing wild animals to serve the vanity of people. The fate of the natural world is very dim indeed OP!
    I have to disagree with you Ella. Human intervention in the form of hunting to achieve balance in an ecosystem is akin to tuning a piano with a sledgehammer.

  7. Naveed…someof us don’t eat the whole carcass.
    We eat the choice meaty bits & leave things like the bones & cartlidge, hide & guts for the making of jello, & belts, shoes & leather & fur products, purses, bone meal, glue, pet food …yep there’s a lot of useful stuff left over when you take the choice meaty bits away from the carcass ~:p
