Tucker Carlson speaks out against seal hunt

[RebelOne]

Well, this is one thing for which we can applaud Tucker Carlson no matter how much of a neocon he is.

1. But I still want him to choke on his own bow tie

[flvegan]

2. It's actually kind of frustrating.

Carlson gets it, but an awful lot of progressives don't. I suppose I should just look at the positive in that he DOES get it.

The cookie cutter is broken again.

3. Appalling to kill seals, but

soldiers and civilians are fair game? :crazy:

4. I can't applaud it, sorry...

he uses this as an excuse for bashing Canada, which is probably the only reason he said anything about it in the first place ("a country as flawed as any other, and more than most"? Come on...you can AGREE with this???)

5. I think acknowledging animal suffering is bipartisan....

..even Rick Santorum sponsored a bill against puppy mills.

6. That's disgusting

especially knowing people who hunt seals for subsitence - Natives who do it only because they need the food.

Commercial cruelty is far to prevalent in our society.

[HEyHEY]

8. Natives aren't doing it because they need the food

Don't fall for that old line.

[Abelman]

9. The ones I know are

Not all of them, but I do know a few who come from families that still live on subsistence food.

[HEyHEY]

10. Yeah, but in this area of Canada where the hunt takes place

I assure you they aren't doing it to survive. ANd even if they are doing it for "Traditional" reasons, T.S. Not all traditions are good ones, PLUS cultures all over the world have stopped barbaric traditional acts, they should be no different.

7. Tucker Carlson can go fuck himself

365 days a year he's a fucking assbag, one day he tries to be decent? If this was a repub funded thing he'd be into it. He's only doing it to knock Canada.
