This link is to new footage put out by the Humane Society of the United States regarding the 2005 Canadian Seal Hunt. It is very graphic, disturbing and sad. It is also important to watch and remind yourself why you care and why you must be active and stay mad. It is much bigger than buying vegan jerky.

The killing of these seal pups is obviously wrong to most people. But it is really not much different than what goes on in factory farms and slaughterhouses across the world. Passing this footage around to people who eat meat and don't typically give a crap about animal issues might be a good place to find common ground and create the opportunity for a bit of dialogue. Make sense? Like, "We can both agree this is f'ed up, right? Well..this is how it is the same basic thing as eating a burger." Maybe more eloquently put than that, but you get my drift.

Anyway, there's your lame Food Fight rant for the day. Now go enjoy your summmer day. We'll be here, sitting inside, trying to not devour the Snickerdoodle cookies staring us in the face.
