Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Quit slaughtering the seals!
Happy birthday to you!

Or at least that's what I like to think these caring people were singing when they stopped by Prime Minister Stephen Harper's home to deliver a few birthday balloons for his big 5-0.

This young veg'un (isn't he adorable?) is older than most of the seals Prime Minister Harper allows to be butchered.

Since when you do need a police escort to deliver balloons?

Sergeant Mitch Monette took the balloons on the Prime Minister's behalf.

After seeing Stephen Harper on the news today I can say that I am now embarrassed and mad to be Canadian. He DOES NOT speak for me and a vast majority of Canadians when he says that Canada supports sealers. He will have to come out of the stone ages eventually hopefully sooner than later for the seals sake.

Salogma It doesn't matter what political party is elected in Canada they will still peddle that old classic "it is humane and well regulated" like a bunch of parrots. What will work is a referendum on the matter and I think that instead of wasting our time with petitions and billboards and what have you that this is what we should be working for. Now.

That's exactly my question Salogma why was Harper reelected if you are claiming majority Canadians are against the seal slaughter????? The issue never came up or maybe Canadians don't give a crap. Nobody has been able to answer my question on this. Tasha seal for seals has every right to express hisher opinion. That does not make himher a "nutjob". Maybe heshe is just frustrated and fed up with all the cruelty heshe has seen in this lifetime. Sometimes it is necessary to be extreme because certainly reason has not worked!

Hey Canada while you at it how bout a mention for all the cat and dogs skinned alive in the Chinese Fur farms look at your PETA website . These furs are lining your clothes and toys and in Canada you dont even have to label this vile product. Is the fur from an animal thats entire life was a living nightmare on your jacket hood. Id rather be a Canadian seal anyday. At least I would have some enjoyment in my life before losing my coat

That right there is brainwashing. You should wait until a child is old enough to understand what a slaughter is before telling them to go protest one.

Animal welfare is an emotional and stressful topic for those who have a heart for any critter. Who can stand to watch footage from one of those horrific scenes on the ice? But to conduct this 'appeal' in front of the family home of the Prime Minister and then issue this series of photos PETA may well have turned off the financial support of many many more folks who might have considered contributing to their causes. The Prime Minister's birthday has nothing to do with why some in Canada still want to have any part of a seal hunt. There will be any number of local rescue groups who would happily accept our donations with no ties to it around politics. The seals will continue to pay the price for how this was handled. That is the greater sadness.
