#9 A few years later, activists were arrested for spraying red dye on more than 200 seals.

I bet the Orca's really appreciated it. Bright red 'eat me' signs....

Several people were moved to tears as they crowded around a small TV set showing pictures of seals being slaughtered.

I wonder how old the video was... 30? 40 years? Isn't it a common LLL tactic to show old retirees in Florida 30/40-year old video of a 'brutal' hunt in order to get money 'to protect the cute poor seals...'.

#10 A few years later, activists were arrested for spraying red dye on more than 200 seals.

And I bet the orcas were most appreciative for the high-visibility markings. What's next, painting bulls-eyes on mallard butts?

#11 Think maybe the protestors should stand in front of an RCMP bulldozer or paddle a kayak in front of an icebreaker or something.......

#12 "It's a brutal, cruel hunt,"

Now, I'm not in favor of gratuitous infliction of suffering on animals (Islamozoids and certain other psychopathic monsters excepted), but it seems to me getting eaten by an orca or polar bear would qualify as "brutal, cruel". Red in tooth and claw, and all that.

... aboard the protest ship Farley Mowat, which later sprang a leak and limped into a Newfoundland port.

Is this for real? It could pass for understated ironic satire.
