Today's blog features guest blogger, peta2 UK's Violet...

As the bloody seal hunt is once again underway in Canada, our dear friend Morrissey is once again defending the animals who will meet a brutal end at the hands of hunters. I won't go on any longer, because anything I can say, good old Moz can say in a much more eloquent and charming fashion! See his statement below:


"As we all know. the psychologically and constitutionally sickening Canadian seal-kill has started and is once again in full-cry. The horror of the Canadian seal-kill is untranslatable, and although I fully realize that highly concentrated evil exists in other countries - Japan's dolphin slaughter, Iceland's newly-revived whaling, the cat-skinning trade in Switzerland, and China with just about every injustice imaginable - there is something especially menacing about Canada's seal-kill."

"Loyola Sullivan (Canada's Ambassador for Fisheries Conservation) is a man of glacial coldness who claims that the seal-kill is "humane" - a view he might alter if his own skull were cracked open with a spiked axe. The fact that the seal-kill provides a livelihood for fishermen is an insultingly dim excuse for it to take place - after all, the German gas chambers of World War 2 also provided work for someone. The seal-kill takes place to satisfy greed for fur-pelts."


Morrissey is not alone, as Kasabian too join the fight against the seal hunt and indeed, fur in general. Frontman Tom Meighan said, "I think its just common sense really. I mean, of course I don't think it's OK to smash a baby seal's skull. I don't wear fur, it's such an ugly thing to do."

Kasabian, Morrissey, peta2 UK salutes you!

ANTM's Nigel Barker Fights to End Seal Slaughter March 5, 2008

Photographer and America's Next Top Model judge Nigel Barker just took a trip to Canada to shoot probably the cutest models he'll ever have the pleasure of working with...baby seals! My crush on him just got about ten times bigger.

Of course as we all know the pleasure is short lived because in less than a month those same baby seals will most likely be bludgeoned to death in Canada's barbaric annual seal hunt.

So Barker decided to do what he does best and photograph the seals to show the world the amazing faces of the gentle, trusting animals who will soon become fashion's latest victims.

"I hope to raise awareness in the youth of today with the graphic images of both the joy and desperation from the largest mammalian birthing site and consequent killing fields on Earth. This sort of behavior cannot and will not be tolerated by the youth of today and I intend to do something about it," he said.

How marvelous that someone who's actually involved in the fashion industry is speaking up for the baby seals instead of cashing in on their horrible deaths. Of course, Barker's not the only celeb calling for an immediate end to the seal hunt and I'm sure he won't be the last...unless it's actually stopped once and for all that is, and that's where you come in.

Barker is calling for the youth of today to do something about the seal hunt and since youth = you please sign our petition asking the Canadian government to end the seal hunt forever.

Pamela Anderson and Brigitte Bardot Unite: "Love Seals, Don't Club Them!" February 13, 2008

One thing you should know about blondes, we tend to stick together, especially when it comes to helping animals. And since two legendary blonde bombshells and all 'round inconic sex goddesses are better than one, Brigitte Bardot and Pamela Anderson have now united to call for an immediate end to the Canadian seal hunt.

This afternoon while visiting the Brigitte Bardot Foundation in Paris, Pamela filled in for Mme Bardot (who is ill and can't travel at the moment) and held a press conference publicly condeming the seal hunt and everyone who wears or designs fur.

The famous blondes want everyone to help stop the annual hunt in which hundreds of thousands of baby harp seals are bludgeoned to death with clubs and "hakapiks" (clubs with a metal hook on the end), for their skins. BABY SEALS!!!

I just can't understand how anyone could ever witness this and still think it's OK to wear seal fur or any fur for that matter. It's hideous and disgusting and evil.

Please sign our petition asking the Canadian government to permanently end this cruel practice.

P.S. Lots of other folks have spoken out against the seal hunt. Check out the ads that Peaches and Surya Bonaly starred in to show their disgust of this repulsive tradition.

I just saw that The Vines recently posted a MySpace blog about signing peta2's Canadian seal hunt petition (along with Jet). Add them to your friends (if they aren't already), and comment on how much you support them and their love for baby seals! And if you haven't already, sign the petition to put an end to the Canadian seal hunt for good.
