Watch the video and then tell me that intrepid hunter wasn't running around on the ice clubbing the seal (repeatedly, yeah, just like they do in abattoirs...I counted 6 bashes on the one seal)

If you consider the IFAW a 'sensationalist advocacy group' (aren't all animal welfare groups, by…

I can respect the fact that the men are dead. It's a fact, after all. I just can't bring myself to feel any sorrow for them.

The first thing they had to do was to put a slug in the heads of the cattle so that they could…

electric2004 - That sounds like one happy little boy, with an understanding and patient papa. :-)

He'll develop an interest in writing in his own good time - probably when he realises the power that being able to leave his mark gives him! Just keep on watching and helping when…
