The annual Seal Hunt

It's the usual celebrity photo opportunity. I lost my respect for Paul McCartney a long time ago. Seriously, animal rights activists seem a shallow bunch to me. And then there's the incredibly obvious argument against vegetarianism, that animals eat eachother. I don't under stand how a lion biting into a gazelle's neck is more humane than quickly killing an animal. We should be worrying more about cruelty to people than cruelty to animals.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hunting doesn't always imply a Ted Nugent imitation. They're killing wild animals for business, and they're not setting traps, therefore they're hunting. How many insects have you killed in your life? Were they humane deaths? I'd call that a massacre. Life is life, regardless of how cute it is.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
