And on that note, me thinks Jena Hunt could learn a thing or two from Dynamo Hum.

I would rather see Jena Hunt naked than club baby seals. I would rather club baby seals than be clubbed myself. I would like to open a place called Club Baby Seals and have Jena Hunt dance in a go-go cage.

The other women look like proprietors of "notions" shops. Not sure what notions are exactly; to be candid, I'm entirely out of my depth here.

Dang! This internet thingy sure is cool! There are literally hundreds of authentic Eskimo-type baby seal recipes posted!

Man, these recipes are making me hungry for some Clubbed Seal. quit it, you guys!

Daniel, if you Google on

"Jena Hunt" peta

you'll find that she has in fact done the semi-nekkid-protest thing in various cities, although not in Dallas.

If PETA's less-unattractive female members shed their clothing in public to protest various animal-related offenses, that really doesn't seem like a smart way to train us guys to do what they want. It's almost like a Lysistrata strategy but backwards...

If the Observer floats me the plane ticket, I am happy to go to Houston tomorrow to see if I can (a) convince Ms. Hunt to save the seals by posing nekkid, (b) determine whether the Houston PETA crowd is better looking than the Dallas crowd, and/or (c) pass along any tasty baby seal recipes that have been posted. Let me know!

By the way, why is there a Canadian Consulate in Houston? At least Dallas has hockey, but Houston?

However inappropriate, I like the office vacancy sign in the background. Even with all economy and world going to hell in a hand-basket, we feel the need to make this issue relevant?! Get a life and the real org's themselves had to stop using pictures of little-fluffy-dudes .. that is not how they look and they don't use pick-axes either. Hope you idiots had a good time showing us how absolutely dumb you are.

This entire comments thread is gross -- and I'm not referring to the seal brains recipes.

Can we get JOHN WILEY dressed up in a Baby Seal suit and have our own Seal Hunt ????

White-coated baby seals have been illegal to commercially hunt since 1987. All hunted seals must be at the age when they are naturally weaned and abandoned by their mothers (which admittedly isn't much better, 13-15 days for harp seals). Still, the image of white-coated babies being rounded up and mass-clubbed with a pick-axe is fairly misleading. The pointed-end of the Hakapik is made to hook the dead carcass not spike the seal. The blunt-end is used to smash the skull but most commercial hunters prefer rifles, which in my opinion is similar in act and violence to hunting small game. The seals themselves are popping on and off ice flows and popping up through air holes, not huddled meekly in mass at their murderers feet.

I'm going to fire an angry letter off to PETA today. I was mortified and offended as I was driving a church van with my priest, 3 nuns, 4 orphans and the Pope. The Pope was asking where the "stretch mark" chick was. Does anyone know what that means?

I was there unfortunatly my pic and some of the younger girls werent shown in that pic but we ARE HOT and that is a shame that is all some of you care about, we have an awsome point to get accross but oh well all you care about is nudity

PETA is a hypocritical organization. How many of their donors are aware that PETA kills at least 2,000 animals per year? Animals that were given to PETA so that a new home could be found for them

" PETA’s “Animal Record” report for 2008, filed with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, shows that the animal rights group killed 95 percent of the dogs and cats in its care last year. During all of 2008, PETA found adoptive homes for just seven pets.

Just seven animals -- out of the 2,216 it took in. PETA just broke its own record."

The seal hunt is horrific and needs to be stopped. Babies are clubbed to death just a few days old, skinned when still alive right infront of their screaming mothers. Oh boy, how humane!
These people are trying to educate the public...maybe not in the best way, but most people have to have dramatic shows to notice anything at all!

The seal hunt is no more inhumane than the domestic livestock industry. (Putting a bolt into the brain of a cow is humane? Seriously?) The only reason seals get so much attention is because they look cute. It's called "selective animal rights activism."

And about PETA - if you're an animal rights supporter and want to donate to a cause, give your money to the SPCA. Or a local animal shelter. Or a rescue shelter. Or some other local charity in that oeuvre. But whatever you do - don't give it to PETA. To coin a Texas phrase - they're all hat and no cattle. (Irony!)

From July 1998 through the end of 2005, PETA killed over 14,400 dogs, cats, and other "companion animals" -- at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters.

PETA is drawing attention to a cause that has gone ignored for too long- the seal hunt in Canada was deemed so extremely cruel that there was no hope for "more humane" methods by the EU, who then banned seal products! But PETA also campaigns tirelessly for animals on factory farms, fur farms, and other disgusting and inhumane industries right here in the US. PETA is a hard-working charity getting these issues into the mainstream media, and that stupid meat/dairy/tobacco industry-funded website mentioned in a comment above is a crock of crap made up to stop the truth about these industries from getting out. If there's one organization that really does right by animals, it's PETA.

After seeing how PETA does business and how the PETA brainwashed masses respond (mostly house fraus and soccer moms with too much time on their hands I'm guessing) it seems a bit useless to argue with them. They're blind to the true evils that People Eating Tasty Animals really does to our poor defenseless animals. Poor poor yummy animals.

Peterk, you clearly know very little about PETA. Not only does PETA constantly support and promote animal adoption, they have their own low-cost spay/neuter clinic! PETA has a prolific "doghouse delivery" program to bring shelter to dogs neglected outside, and rescues countless animals. The animals they are forced to euthanize (just like your vet or animal shelters do) are the ones who have been so badly abused that they are beyond help. PETA has gotten legislature passed, welfare laws upheld, and so much more to make huge improvements for animals everyewhere. But there's still far to go, considering some people still think it's ok to bash baby seals brains out.
