Disrespect for Life!

I can’t understand why people have so much disrespect for life, especially when it’s not even theirs to destroy!  What’s the theme for the next Olympics?  Baby Killing Olympics?

Then we have those people saying the seals are herding the salmon, well, okay isn’t that a natural food source?  The natural food source of killer whales are seals, but if people wouldn’t kill them they wouldn’t have an issue with the seals taking salmon.  These are just natural cycles of life, but going out their and killing these baby’s to rip the skin off their backs is just disturbing and wrong!  Imagine that happening to you or your families?

Canadian lawmakers even suggested dressing their Olympic team in seal fur for the 2010 Winter Games. [read more]
