 Clubbing Baby Seals is Just Wrong

I plan on pulling back from blogging to focus on other things, but there are occasional things that will bring me back.  One of those things is clubbing baby seals.  Apparently Canada is allowing the clubbing to begin again in earnest.

Now I will admit to being quite the cultural relativist and there is a part of me that says I should be sympathetic to the people who earn their livelihood this way.  The linked NYTimes article indicates that there is a tradition for some of the people who do this.  One could argue that if I want to be morally consistent I should become a vegetarian or something.  You know what?
