Canada's governor general eats raw seal heart: EU says too bizarre to acknowledge

Posted: May 26th, 2009 - 8:07pm by Doug Powell

Canada's governor general Michaelle Jean (below, right), the representative of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II – ‘hellooooo little people ‘ -- ate a slaughtered seal's raw heart today in a show of support to the country's seal hunters.

Hundreds of Inuit at a community festival gathered Monday as Jean knelt above a pair of seal carcasses and used a traditional ulu blade to slice the meat off the skin. After cutting through the flesh, Jean turned to the woman beside her and asked: "Could I try the heart?"

'It's like sushi'

A spokeswoman for EU Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas said, "No comment; it's too bizarre to acknowledge.”

If I were her, I would personally take pride that my action elicited no comment whatsoever from the other side.This article illustrates the sheer absurdity and hypocrisy of the EU and their ridiculous seal-death hatred.http://www.economist.com/opinion/displaystory.cfm?story_id=13649231

Govenor General,It seems ironic that you would eat the heart of an animal- the very organ that keeps life alive and vibrant. I believe in people's rites and traditions but that does not mean that Canada's governmental officials do not have to join in with this barbaric act of senselessness. You represent Canadians - the majority of whom are against the horrible killing of seals. You do not represent yourself. I feel that you were very arrogant as seems to be the case with most politicans. With one bite of this poor defenseless animal you have damaged what millions of people world wide have been attempting to stop - the seal hunt. Perhaps it was a political strategy-to beef up the industry so to speak but this was not your call. I feel that you should step down immediately. You are not worthy of the position.
