I thought they stopped harvesting seal pups ages ago. Have I misunderstood, or is IFAW simply lying when they talk about slaughtering “baby” seals?
I guess I missed that ad as I was driving my baby seal upholstered car to work today. The seats are soooo soft.
The seats are soft AND they taste like chicken!
I ♣ baby seals.
All baby animals are cute, maybe even baby vegetables are cute, or baby tofu, I don’t care.
And if the bus is late, and I get in s*** at work, I DO care. Like most people today, I am entirely self absorbed, so don’t bug me about baby seals.
And if Newfoundlanders some day decide to club baby humans, then I shall E-mail my MP, like any good citizen.;-)
*sigh*. If someone put up the same poster of a human fetus with abortion stats – they would probably get hauled before an HRC.
Why are baby seals more important?
“ban the hakipic”…all seals should be dispatched by rifle…then there will be no photoplay emotionalism these anti-sealing con artists can exploit for donations from the emotional basket cases who donate to fraud artists like the IFAW.
How do you get a court order to make them change all their advertising because what they are currently doing is false and misleading?
Ahhh, what a cute seal pup.
Here comes the ugly bus!!
The people of Vancouver should be up in arms about the sea turtles inadvertantly killed when fishing for tuna. Or the tuna themselves, on the edge of being endangered. I no longer buy tuna, for both reasons. But I can’t wait to buy my sealskin pelt. And mukluks.
I was in Nelson, BC last year and saw a poster for a band that was playing at the local hotel that evening. I can’t recall the band’s name, but it had something to do with a seal, and the picture showed a cute baby seal photoshopped wearing a rastafarian-type hat. The tag line on the poster was “Let’s Go Clubbin'” I tried to get a copy of the poster, but the hotel had run out from all the requests.
One more joke:
A baby seal walks into a bar, and the bartender asks, “What’ll it be?”
The seal replies, “Anything but a Canadian Club.”
IFAW-I’ll Filch All Wallets
BillHW: That is a bumper sticker I would buy. LOL
OK, someone else can eat my sushi.
I guess this means that if my bus is late because it ran over a baby seal, nobody can dispute my cause for anger.
I find that ad offensive and it makes me angry! SOMEONE has hate flowing through their veins. Who can I complain to?
I agree. Getting angry about the clubbing of baby seals is not worth it since the seals are on the East Coast on ice flows and well, we are here where the buses are.
I suggest the being angry at the bus driver and or the transit authority can lead to better service if you lobby them properly. So being angry for the right reasons makes sense.
Being late for work is the right reason. Feeling bad about baby seals is pointless and futile.
EUROPEAN INFLUENCE!!Today they’re going to ban the seal hunt, tomorrow they’re going to abort the next Albert Einstein. Logic is in dire straits. I thought the human race was at the top of the food chain. Guess I was wrong. When the “Euros” run out of food, and cannibalism is running rampant in the streets of Paris, we Canucks will still enjoy “Whole Saskatchewan Wheat” cereal for breakfast, cold bison sandwiches for lunch, and elk steaks for supper. The Euros can chew on their placards!!
What about the 250,000+ humans that are being slaughtered in Darfur?
Thank-you for your comment Elizabeth – I share your sentiments.
Elizabeth nailed it.
right, Elizabeth.
Also, what about all the other species that we humans harvest and use?
Common folks lightn up! One has to get into the pyche of Vancouver. This is a place were whole industries are founded on Victims, invented or otherwise. A place of rent a protester for anything at anytime.
All things shall pass and we will get to have the utopia wanted so badly by Slizuky, david that is.
A grand utopia were no people dwell or exist… forever. except one has to wait until after the
olympics, eh!
Think I’ll drive my 1 ton diezel behind that late bus and spew carbon all over those godly creatures.
Love the Canadian Club joke!!
Elizabeth makes a great point.
One might however, take just the tiniest bit of solace at the fact that it is members of the leftist loon community that by far are the greatest users of abortions clinics.
Perhaps once they have aborted themselves into a minority position, saner people will have control of our society.
They’ve obviously never waited for a late bus in -30 degree weather before!
They’re “BABY” seals? Really? I thought they were just a conglomeration of cells? Besides, there is no God, so who gives a f%^k? Oh wait……
/confused mind of a Leftard
The transit authorities of several Canadian cities this year have pulled pro-life ads due to complaints.
The ads read:
“9 months. The length of time an abortion is allowed in Canada.
abortion
Have we gone to far?”
The ads contain no graphic content, but a picture of a pregnant women. http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/jan/08012804.html
Is this poster put up by the bus drivers union?Looks suspiciously like a union issue to me.
Horny toad
I was in downtown Vancouver yesterday, too. As a matter of fact, standing at one of those bus shelters.
Only the advert on this one showed a guy holding a cell phone, with the tagline saying, “You’ve lost your signal? Get angry…” yadda, yadda.
Meanwhile, across the street, in front of the Van. Art Gallery, 500 stoners and 9/11 Troofers were firing up their doobies and bongs to celebrate “4/20” with not a cop in sight.
Vancouver. It’s not a city, it’s a… I don’t know what, exactly.
Enough with the seals already, the REAL tragedy in Canada is Baby Oil. That’s right..babies, harvested for their oil and not a word out of MSM or the entire blogosphere. Do you realize how many babies you have to press to get a pint of baby oil? Have you no humanity? Call or write your MP – TODAY !
What about the Chinese Communists who harvest organs from live Falun Gong practitioners? Are seals more human to the “progressive” movement than the Falun Gong and others deemed inconvenient to the agenda of the Chinese Communist Party?
We needn’t listen to the anti-sealing crowd. They’re not making anywhere near as big a stink over the human organ harvesting happening in Communist China. And they call themselves secular “humanists”??? They’re not humanists; they’re anti-humanists disguised as humanists. This cannot be denied; the proof is right there for all to see.
What about the holocaust against the Falun Gong in China? Don’t “progressives” care? Apparently not; they seem to think that non-humans are more worthy of life than humans, whether they’re already born or not yet born.
“One might however, take just the tiniest bit of solace at the fact that it is members of the leftist loon community that by far are the greatest users of abortions clinics.
Perhaps once they have aborted themselves into a minority position, saner people will have control of our society.”
Sadly, liberals grow primarily by conversion (read: brainwashing). Conservatives grow by reproduction. That’s what happens when you control the media and entertainment industries.
Just to say I got very close to sending in some pix myself but was too busy. They’re all over Vancouver, and weirdly for progressive Vancouver, usually graffiti free.
And with each poster I’m thinking “but I don’t get ANGRY over small stuff like that”. And the attempt to emotionalize with the “baby” word! There’s a whole series of anger triggers in the ad series: one is, …”And they don’t have your size”.
Vancouver is NUTS. If you ever get a chance, tune into Co-op radio for a few minutes.
At the centre of hippieville (4th and Vine) was at the Capers/Whole Foods outlet lining up to pay for my soup/salad. Currently watching my diet. The guy next to me had a “Power Muffin”. I told him, “man I love those power muffins … when I have one I feel like I can take on the world” to which he replied, “in a socially responsible way, I hope”. I looked hard and saw no trace of irony!
If they share the same fate of polar bears, who cares? I’d rather be clubbed over the head than slowly die of GW! Thump…Argh…the end.
“Perhaps once they have aborted themselves into a minority position, saner people will have control of our society.”
Saner people?
Read “America Alone” lately?
I’d fill you in, but I can’t risk an HRC hearing today. 😛
“One might however, take just the tiniest bit of solace at the fact that it is members of the leftist loon community that by far are the greatest users of abortions clinics. ”
One wouldn’t because immigration is replcing them with even loonier types
They want to take your free drug needles away and your bus is two minutes late.
Get angry for the right reasons. The dude next to you is in withdrawl and very irritable.
Nobody cares for the baby calves here in snowy Alberta like they do for a seal on the east coast. We eat cattle all the time for food but not seals, and us ranchers are taking a beating at sale time on the price of beef. On Saturday I came across a new calve in dire pain with its shoulder having been eaten out by coyotes, I had to put a bullet through its brain to stop the suffering but I thought who gives a …. about this, nobody, but we have all sorts of morons running around stopping coyote hunters and bear hunters and seal hunters but they are to stupid to see the results of to many of one thing is not good for everything. Oh and over at the all liberal all the time National Newswatch looks like the Toronto Star is having an orgasm over an alleged 40,000 small change compared to 40 MILLION you theiving liberals stole from taxpayers.
OK since nobody has noticed it I’ll give people a hint. Look at the lower left corner of the picture. I cracked up laughing when I saw it and was fortunate to have my camera with me. This very annoying bus shelter ad has been up for over a month and I’m glad that finally someone decided to make a small alteration. I’m still in Vancouver for a few days more and will check the status of more of these annoying ads later today as they seem to be concentrated on Burrard and Robson streets which isn’t far from where I’m staying.
WTF? I didn’t know baby oil came from real babies. That’s it; I’m going postal. Forget emailing my MP, where’s my gun? That’s it, I can’t take it anymore.
canadian sentinel – I suggest that you don’t believe everything you want to..about the Chinese and the Falun Gong. I’m very sceptical about the ‘organ harvesting’.
And I consider Falun Gong to be a cult. They are as brainwashed as any cult, whether that be the anti-sealers or Koresh’s cult.
If you considered Falun Gong to be something other than a cult – would that make you less skeptical about “organ harvesting”?
Stop global warming, club a baby seal. Thats 250 000 less carbon paw prints.

wes warmer – not very funny. Of course not. Now, move on to something intelligent.
I would like to see one of those animal rights jerks get close to one of those seal pups and get the crap bit out of them
Elizabeth, me too.
I’m also delighted that folks here are outraged at the looney tune lefties and their suppression of free speech. Just to say, observant Christians, social conservatives, and pro-lifers have been treated with this kind of disdain and lack of tolerance for DECADES. However, it’s nice to have reinforcements.
And let’s remember that nearly THREE MILLION pre-born “babies” have been aborted–and at taxpayer expense–for nearly four decades. When the “greenies” come knocking at my door, I alwyas politely decline to contribute and point out the human slaughter they ignore, right in our midst. (I wonder if one of them could report me to an HRC for such insensitivity . . . Of course, truth is no defence.)
