Inuit post selfies wearing seal skin to protest Ellen's anti seal campaign

[avb3]

What a great way to fight back.

Never liked Ellen anyway... To patronizing for me.

Now that's a heckuva pure gold campaign against that big mouthed Ellen Degenerate.
And even better that it's driven by native women.

Good on them.

I tweeted at her regarding this but have yet to get a reply. Don't really expect one either.

Kind of ironic that Ellen, a woman who is in an identifiable group that has largely broken free of being marginalized, is so willing and in fact militant in her pursuit of marginalizing others for their lifestyles. She lines her pockets from cosmetics endorsements (can you say 'rendered animal fat'?) while campaigning against people feeding themselves in their culturally traditional ways, people who live in areas with scant few options for finding sustenance.

Not that I care or pay attention to that loud mouth.
But I suspect she will see the error of her ways and invite some women to her show.
More than likely there will be an apology attached to her narrow minded actions and words.
She probably is against the Saskatchewan seal hunt like most other ignorant mericans

H A H A Guess which one of those "inuit" women is non - inuit? She's a little sweet heart who grew up as my next door neighbour. Also a papered Social Worker and now a Lawyer. Father is a Canadian white-ie and her momma is a Quebec french-ie. I kinda noticed her name was missing in the report text.

You, I and most AO members may not care, but she is an influencer of public opinion that has a lot of clout.

I love the simplicity of the counter campaign.

What we can do is bombard this guys email with Cabers post, so that she address it on her TV show where the crowd sqeeeeeals and screams at every burp and huff she makes.

He is the executive producer of the show.

Grey Owl spearheaded (pun) conservation and the National parks act in Canada and made the beaver a national symbol. He was just an eccentric Englishman posing as an Indian. Got the job done though.

Yeah and the message she sends is to influence people to stupid too think for themselves or allow their opions/outrage to be swayed by somebody who is famous which makes them "sheeple".Another good example in American society is when Bruce Springsteen endorsed/backed Obama.A good Canadain example was when Paul Martin allied himself with Bono of U2 to try and sway voters via the celebrity propaganda.Personally I think celebrities such as Ellen/Bruce/Bono should STFU with regards to politics and other issues they really know nothing about.

As for the response by the Inuit people who hunt seals for both food and clothing as is their cultural/traditional way I hope they get a lot of press and exposure for their effort.It is easy to be high minded when you earn 10 million+ a year and think that baby seals look cute and obviously nobody should be allowed to hunt seals in general even if they hunt them to both feed and clothe themselves.

I also liked Cabers post as he NAILED it dead on.

Curious as to what y'all think...

Not an Ellen fan.
Not against eating what one hunts.
Not against wearing what one hunts.
...however, given the fact (and only given the fact), that everyone knows that the world is watching and video-taping the seal hunt every time it happens, what would be so wrong with devising some sort of tool (a hand-gun type implement that shoots a retractable pin - similar to a nail gun) to harvest the seals?
Don't get me wrong, I personally don't have an issue with seeing blood, and with harvesting an animal with an arrow, (which can, in some cases, result in quite a bloody scene - especially in the snow), but, as a hunter, I take measures (as much as possible) to ensure that that scene does not play itself out in the open public eye.
When I watch the seal hunt, I have to admit, that for any non-hunter-type person watching that, it does look pretty brutal the way they pickaxe those seals - it can look somewhat barbaric. (Can you imagine killing a deer like that and posting it to you-tube?)
This brings me back to the question; given the fact that they basically walk up to the seals to harvest them, why not look at using a different "tool of harvesting" and take some of the steam out of the "anti-sealers" momentum?
Admittedly, I don't have all the facts on seal hunting methods - maybe there IS only one way to harvest them?

Sadly, any talent at team sports evaded me, I guess we'll have to be distant cousins
