Somebody Please Club Paul


Is anyone else sick and tired of reading about how Paul McCartney is out to squash the annual seal hunt in Canada? Paul and his 18-year-old wife (OK, she's not 18 but she could be his grandaughter) are headed to Canada to actually go out and observe the seals and take part in the protest. I read a few article about it tonight from different sources. From what I could tell, it's as necessary as hunting white tail deer in Pennsylvania. Humane? Read this. Read the entire website actually before believing everything the protestors say. C'mon, Paul. Kids are hungry and AIDS is threatening an entire continent. Are you just doing this because your hot little wife thinks the baby seals are cute? Well, "whitecoat" baby seals have been off-limits for 20 years. There have been protestors at every hunt for the last umpteen years and they are allowed up to 25 meters from the hunters. If all these violations were really going on, wouldn't we know about it? Photo Op. Paul gets in news. This has been going on for hundreds of years. It's not going to stop because a "pop" star attends. Now maybe if Ringo threw his hat in the ring......
