The country of Germany, always a bastion of civility and
humanity, has decided to ban the import of seal products
for reasons of political cowardice and profound ignorance.
With it's love of eating wild boars and hunting deer,
this move just highlights the hypocrisy of the Germans.
To hear accustations of cruelty levelled at us from a
country that tried to subjugate the world twice in the
last century is laughable.
Maybe
the German people could actually contribute to the ecological
movement by closing any number of their industrial or
nuclear plants or reducing the amount of cars they drive.
As long as global warming is the primary threat to all
life on this planet, a couple of people moaning about
an animal whose numbers are undergoing a population explosion,
should be treated as the foolish, extreme and prejudical
hate mongers that they are. I call on all people of Newfoundland
and Labrador to boycott all German products and most especially,
any Volkswagon product. Call your local VW dealer and
let them know that as long as the German government pursues
a course of anti-Newfoundland bigotry, that you or any
of your friends will not buy a VW vehicle.
