Michael Jackson's Protest of Seal Killing Lives On

Written by PETA

Fans are mourning the sudden passing of the "King of Pop," who spent decades under a media microscope.

Here are some Jacko facts that fans may not know:
- The number-one song "Ben," about a rat friend, was originally meant to be sung by Donny Osmond. (Thanks to The Michael Jackson Fan Club for that.)
- My personal fave bit about the gloved one is that his "Earth Song" includes an obvious bash against the bloody seal slaughter at minute 3:27.
In Michael's honor, take a minute to speak out against the seal slaughter.
