There are nast horrendous acts perpetrated on animals world. But the best thing you can think of attacking is a sustainable cull. Seals are not in threat of extinction, they are not killed for fun, they are not bred in unpleasent farms, and all parts of their body are used. They are killed quickly humanley. So why object? Their cute whiskers, nasty foriegners do something that western activists are ignorant about?

Time could be spent far more constructively fighting intensive farming, HLS, or hunting for . That's where the unneccesary cruelty takes place.

There is an obvious emotive response to seal clubbin. However it is an emotive reaction,not a compassionate or rational one. If you care about animals please think about it. Then sus out your priorities.

The Fluffy Bunny syndrome, in the same way that Fox hunting is seen as wrong (ahh they're so cute, look at their lovely coat) but not a word of objection is raised to the 120,000 rats killed each year by Rentokil alone :source www.rentokil.com:

Both foxes and rats are vermin, both spread disease, neither are endangered. Foxes are hunted by a method that is proven to be the most humane and natural, rats die in abject agony via poison.

Foxes have a better PR agency

The bloody lack of compassion! 'Liberty for all'?? .. Seems like some people just won't have life in its entirety being embraced and cherished. Funny how they always point the other way as a diversion. The animal lib movement covers HLS, Factory farming and all the other countless horrors unleashed on animal-kind. Get real.

Thank you for both your comments turd-features, but no one really wants your advice. It's very easy for peole to pass criticism on a subject with out actually doing anything themselves. Although, i guess it's all just conviniant excuses for not getting of yur arses and away from your computers with out looking like the wasters your actually are.

And for the special attention of the person who seems almost interested in Rentokill. Where's your campaign against them? Or do you really think that by sitting at your computer mouthing off that you're doing your bit and other people will get the job done for you? Do you not follow both PETA's and Animal Aid's campaigns against "pest control"? Or perhaps you have seemed to forgot that since 1987 the Animal Liberation Front has considered Rentokill a "legitimate target"?

My spellings nearly as bad as i imagine your love-life to be.

Or yeah, and a variety of sources claim that more foxes are killed anually than rentokill's total of rodent terminations.
