Please help stop this senseless slaughter

[Cyberria]

Of all the things to try and rally support for on the planet right now I really don't think this is the wisest one to start with. Global warming will put an end to the seal hunt anyway. Or Haarp, or oil drilling. There are more then enough human beings getting clubbed to death around the world for us to worry about.

So what's the OTHER side of the story?

Humans have been killing and using animals for our benefit in various ways since the beginning of time. Is this something that just started in the last few decades, or have these seals been hunted and killed since people have populated these areas?

Sounds very PETA-ish to me.

(By the way, I had veal for dinner tonight -- baby cow for those who don't know.)

Do we want to open the forum up to every controversial favorite cause that spins someone's beanie propeller, and just turn this into one nasty, controversial, conflict ridden forum? What's YOUR favorite cause?

Against abortion? Why, let's appeal to the members to stop forever this killing of baby humans! The 2007 abortion season is already under way!

Or are you FOR abortion? Let's stop those right wing, extremist, radical, jack-booted oppressors of women's rights. The 2007 anti-abortion protesting season is already under way!

See what I mean?

Let's just keep it light and easy.

Let's keep

Lol. America has to look beyond it's own borders to uncover atrocities? I'm not so sure about that. Except in the case of Guantanamo lol. Someone should start a rumor that they beat the detainees with seal pups. That place would be closed in a heart beat.




Too bad most people arent as cute as baby seals.

I have cancelled my membership. I can respect people who don't want to have an opinion or who can come up with reasoned arguments but nobody here has. Everyone has either just focused on whether the message is spam or come up with sarcasm. Obviously most of you can't think beyond where your next spanking is coming from. You can reply however you like I won't be reading so won't really care. Good bye.

He was a she?

I must confess to feeling a little off-put by the hostility in this thread. I'm not sure if it's because there's an animal-lover among us, or because there's a non-spanking thread on the, er, off-topic board, or... something about this isn't sitting well with me. What happened to, if you don't like it, don't read it? Maybe something has happened behind the scenes that I don't know about, and it just isn't obvious here.

I was all revved-up to ask for help on a project I'm doing to help a shelter for battered women. I now know better than to share my feelings on causes that are important to me!

Oh my. I certainly can't think of anyone in this forum who is looking for that!

And here I was all set to contact Big & Rich to see if they'd do an update on their song "Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy." I was thinking "Save A Seal, Whack A Spanko" had "hit record" written all over it.

If they don't have a seal hunt, where are the rap and hip hop artists going to get their seal fur coats.

I'm kinda with Adelina. Are we missing something? I just don't quite understand the venom this thread gathered. Yeah, it put a bit of a damper on the happy vibe we've got going here, but we're not usually so sharp-tongued. When I first read this thread, I just assumed it wouldn't get any attention and would drift off the home page in short time.

Attacking her for posting something that she's passionate about really seems like an @$$hole thing to do. This thread screams "personal issues" all over it.
