Have You Hugged a Baby Seal Today?

I am just in shock of the babies and the mother seals. What is the world coming to. I have just now seen the cruel and torchering ways of alot of amimal cruelity. MAKES ME SICK

Those baby seals are pretty cute to see but what does the Olympic Committee have to do with the seal hunt? Do you honestly think that getting them to not do the Winter Olympics in Canada next year is going to do a thing? In my view it won't because the committee has nothing to do with the seal hunt. Protesting naked in a snowstorm doesn't solve anything. It just makes people who do look really stupid and it doesn't do anything to save seals. I don't think you'd want to hug an actual baby seal. They could bite you so you're better off hugging a stuffed toy seal pup instead. Then again you probably didn't say you'd hug an actual seal pup but I brought it up anyway. By the way mother Arctic seals especially the harp seal and ribbon seal don't care for their pups for long. They actually care for them for only two to four weeks before abandoning them. The stranded pup cries at first but when its mother doesn't come back it will stay on the ice and become sedentary. It won't be able to feed itself until it is more than a month old. As a result it is vulnerable to predators and hunters. Other seals care for pups for far longer periods and this holds true for many fur seals and sea lions. Mother Galapagos fur seals actually are violent toward pups that are not their own. They will actually kill the pups if they wander into their territory because they know they won't breed if they lose it to another mother seal. It's not pretty but it's how they work. I didn't state any of this information because I support the clubbing of baby seals because I don't. I actually found this information on wikipedia of which you are welcome to say it's a biased source of information because it is easily edited. It's important to note that not all seal species care for their pups for a long time. Some species do actually practice the routine of abandoning their pups after nursing ends.

Love to hug one. Pity noone told me about the demo outside the Canadian High Commission in Canberra. Would liked to have been there. This obscenity must cease.

More cows and chickens are killed everyday than seals are during the entire sealing season. Hug cows and chickens also.

yes I want to hug them. what sick perverse person clubs them?
