2009 Canadian Seal Hunt

Ok guys, this is something that i have known about for a few years now and it is really disturbing to me. A lot of people don't even know this is going on so i thought i'd post a blog to raise awareness. Please take your time to read this! And watch this video...i know it is disturbing but you must know what is going on! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrEu4buG5Pc

Every year there is a Canadian Seal Hunt. Today was the start of this year's seal hunt. This is largest slaughter of marine mammals on Earth—sealers have killed more than a million baby seals for their fur in the past four years. There is video evidence of sealers leaving injured seals to choke on their own blood for as long as 90 minutes, cutting open animals as they struggle, stabbing seals through the skulls with illegal weapons, and dragging conscious seals across the ice with boat hooks. Scientists have condemned the current Canadian harp seal management plan as reckless and irresponsible, stating that it poses a threat to the survival of the population. Notably, today's kill levels meet and even exceed those of a half century ago, when sealers quickly reduced the harp seal population by nearly two-thirds.

According to European animal rights group Equanimal, over 40 percent of the seals killed last year were still alive when they were skinned. 98 percent of these killed harp seals are under 3 months of age because of their soft white fur. Please watch the video and go to the website. It is hard to watch but you need to know about it! And spread the word! Many governments are banning the trade of seal products to try and end this inhumane hunt. Thank you so much for taking your time to read this.

I hate airports

ok sooooo airports SUCK!!!! Especially when it snows 7 inches and they suddenly decide they don't know how to run things and cancel and delay pretty much every flight. You'd think after years and years and years of air travel...they would be more prepared for a little snow. so yesss...my flight was supposed to take off ehhh like now....and i'm still lookin at atleast two more hours of sitting here.....in this lovely airport called the JFK. Maybe they think i like sitting in airports....buuut i infact do not.... i would much rather be in my bed sleeping. ok so this is getting ridiculous....i've just been informed to move to....A THIRD gate!!! sheesh! it's bad enough they're makin us sit here longer than wanted....but to make us move and play musical chairs is just plain rude! so yeah...there's my ranting.

Anyway, just to let ya all know...we had a fantastic last day in New York. We went to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum....it was really cool and we had a lot of good laughs there. It was funny cuz they just had random wax people in the middle of the room and i was always confusing real people to wax people. I'm surprised i didn't break anything. so supposedly those wax figures are life size...if that is the case then i never wanna meet female celebrities in real life because they are all TINY and make me look like an elephant standing next to them! haha! well here's a pic of me singing with johnny cash...hope you all enjoy. see ya!
