The McCartneys raise awareness of baby seals' plight in Canada


I think its great that Paul and Heather McCartney are raising awareness about this issue of seal cubs being clubbed to death in Canada, i'm slightly disturbed by the concept that they went out to the area and then left knowing what was going to happen to the pups they had just seen, but at the same time i'm not really sure what I expect them to do about it. They are only people after all. I'm surprised that the British government are only considering banning baby seal related products... America is actually ahead of us on protecting something! Even the EU have laws about not importing the pelts (which obviously means we can't import them without ECJ issues [life was so much easier when i didn't understand the court systems, when i was barely aware of them...]).

Here is the article on CNN.com.
