Blood on the Ice in Ottawa

With the start of the annual Canadian seal slaughter just a few weeks away, PETA took to the frozen Rideau Canal in Ottawa to help stop the killings. Skaters looked on in wonderment as activists recreated the "crime scene" from an attack on a baby seal. Check out these photos from the demo:

If you haven't witnessed the seal slaughter firsthand, you'll have to trust us that it looks a lot like this bloody mess—but with seal babies' corpses.

A voice from above says: "Stop the Seal Slaughter!"

Lord knows you don't want this muck on your skates—or on your hands.

Its a shame how you Canadians are savages. I thought Canadians were civilized people but finally nothing more than some outdoor primitive savages who kills for money!! I will never go to Canada my entire life!! Shame on you

Susan Manns why would you post on here that everyone should boycott canadian sea kitten productsseafood? Hasn't everybody on this site already done so? Anybody who would eat them cute sea kittens should not be on this site. Long live the sea kitten and seal.
