He has time to address this issue, however the Piracy issue is an “annoyance.” Good grief!!

Thanks for the post. I now understand why Notre Shame is awarding him an honorary degree-—club ‘born alive’ babies but not seal babies. You can’t make this up.

Hm....Obama thinks that smashing an ***animal** over the head and killing it instantly is inhumane...

But....

He voted 3 TIMES to allow a baby HUMAN that was born alive to die SLOWLY on a stainless steel slab in a utility room!

He opposes the sale of animal parts but welcomes the sale of HUMAN embryos to be sliced and diced in labs that would make Mengela proud.

UNBELIEVEABLE!!!

FUBO!!!

(Yes, I am shouting!)

This might be interesting, Obama attempting to stomp on Canadian aboriginal rights. They won't roll over and take too kindly to that.

It will only show how ignorant, shallow and racist Obama is.

But not too inhumane to deny people a livelihood in a land where there aren't many others I guess....I mean they're just people right ? Nowhere near as important as seals./sarcasm

That’s a misleading can of seal. baby seals aren’t harvested during the seal hunt. That’s a LIE propagated by PETA.

"The letter was released publicly today as part of a renewed PETA campaign that requests Obama renew his commitment to ending the Canadian seal hunt. "The rediscovery of this letter came as a surprise. But we are not totally shocked by what Obama said because so far he has been very responsive on animal rights," said Dan Mathews, senior vice-president of PETA.

What does Peta expect Obama to do anyways? Declare war on Canada if they don't stop the seal hunt? Canada is sovereign territory, Obama has no say at all over what they do. All he can do is ban importing of seal fur.

That's not his style however. He'd rather tax it, just like he's going to tax "dirty" tar sand oil we import into the USA. It won't bother seal fur sales, and it won't stop Americans from burning the gas made from tar sand oil. It will just cost Americans more to buy it is all.

The seal hunt is part and parcel of long standing hunt, fed by sustenance, warmth and tradition.

Oh, and Canadian bats are made out of Canadian maple, not mahogany.

I know, I’ve been on a few of them in my lifetime, and dined of some very tasty seal meat prepared in traditional Inuit ways that have served the Inuit people well for hundreds of years.
Smoked whale meat, cured for months in a open walled shack, flavored only by the occasional fire made with drift wood is very tasty too. (doesn’t look very appealing though)

There are human beings whose very digestive systems have been designed to work almost exclusively on seals and fish.

Obama, and others of his kind, seek to eradicate that race of men.

Frankly, I'm not going to stand still for his latest genocidal efforts and will resist to the fullest.

Word out to Mr. 0bama (I am refusing to label him President - he doesn’t deserve the title, nor is he legally qualified to be President):

Seals are not Human. But those millions of babies that you take such pride in seeing murdered (now with taxpayer money) ARE humans. What about THEIR humane treatment?

I guess he doesn’t like hunting for terrorists either.

Kill the American babies

Inport and give amnesty to replacement illegal aliens

The “rainbow present” to the USA

It’s a Pansy Scam!
