Strange enough to see a photograph of a Kennedy firing a rifle, one with a telescopic sight no less, as the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination approaches.
Stranger still to learn that the Kennedy firing the rifle, a 14-year-old granddaughter of late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, is killing seal pups in Canada, according a caption for the photo written by her father.
The photo was posted this morning on the Facebook page of Maxwell Kennedy, 48, son of Robert and Ethel Kennedy.
Here's what Max Kennedy wrote in the caption for the photo --
"Noah and me working with Canadian wild life officials to cull seal population near Rankin Inlet. Over population of seals is causing great damage to local fisheries. Thousands of seal pups must be culled each year. We worked with trappers who taught Noah how to identify the weak ones. Put another way -- here's a photo of my daughter shooting baby seals."
Imagine the veins-bulging outrage from liberals, animal rights groups and anti-gun activists if the teenage daughter of nearly any prominent conservative was photographed doing the same. Or Sarah Palin for that matter.
liberals like killing defenseless babies of all species. i think it just comes naturally.
I thought a Kennedy shooting a baby seal was one of the signs of the coming Apocalypse.....
Really? Se’s out in the frozen tundra, taking aim at a pup-victim off of a snowmobile, with a mid-belly tank top/t-shirt on?
Dunno one way or the other, but it’s a weird picture.
They’re on the ice pack and she’s in jeans and a t-shirt?
Love the double standard.
Kennedy shooting seals - A-OKAY
Palin shooting moose - look at the bad republican with an assault rifle
I’d be willing to bet the farm that the Kennedy’s don’t eat what they shoot.
That family is a cancer on the American soul.
Amen to that!
Seal herd thriving? But, but. I thought the libs claim that Global warming is killing everything. This is a twofer for our side.
Why do liberals hate baby seals so much?
Reminds me of a joke:
A seal walks into a bar. Bartender says, “Whadda want?”
Seal answers: “anything but a Canadian Club, please.”
