I watched the McCartney's on Larry King Show tonight. He
must have married her for her looks. She is dumber than a cod. I think she has sucked some of the brains out of him. They kept carrying on about how Canada is losing more because of the Red Lobster boycott than they make from the seal hunt. As far as I have been able to figure the only Red Lobster involvement has been its being targeted for boycott by people putting pressure on it to boycott Canadian seafood, which it has refused to do. She thinks all the seal hunters would gladly live up the fur harvest if the government would buy back their licences and help them get into the whale watching business. According to her, the Canadian people overwhelmingly want the government to put an end to the seal hunt but there is a "small majority" who want it to go on. I was beginning to wonder if someone had clubbed her in the head while she was out on the ice today. |

I was beginning to wonder if someone had clubbed her in the head while she was out on the ice today. That was such a well balanced show -- NOT! Paul & Linda given 30 minutes to give their spiel, uninterrupted, then Williams given no opportunity to talk without that rude, dumb, woman constantly interrupting and even calling him a liar (even if she didn't actually use the word). Man I wanted to slap her upside the head! Their HSUS puppet masters must have been so proud. How did you like her constant comparison of baby seals to human babies? Anthropomorphizing, anyone? How about the fact that they had no idea where they were? In the video of them on the ice floes he kept saying they were in Newfoundland all the while they were in Québec. Then on the show, when Premier Williams invited them to come to Newfoundland and Labrador, Paul states that they are in Newfoundland, in the studio -- the techs in the Charlottetown, PEI studio where they were must have been ****ing themselves laughing. I guess Sir Paul got confused when he landed in St. John's and went through customs. I guess he didn't realize that when he reboarded his plane he was headed to Halifax, NS and then the next leg was to Charlottetown PEI. AFAIC, Williams had lost the debate the moment they showed the first video. I don't like the hunt, just like I don't like hunting of anything else, but I don't think I'd like the abattoir video any better. Gabby |

Gabby I didn't see the show as I try to avoid Celebrities With Causes. However unless you are a vegan or seals are an endangered species I don't see a reason to oppose the hunt. IMO the reason it gets such a lot of ink is that seals look so appealing. If spiders were being clubbed to death who would raise a fuss? |

I noticed that they didn't think there was anything wrong with catching crab "stop the seal hunt and you can sell more crab in the US" being their mantra. I guess crabs, like spiders, aren't cute and cuddly. What really bothered me is that they swallowed everything the HSUS fed them and never questioned it. Even when presented with the facts, they preferred to believe the lies. Nobody mentioned the fact that approaching that baby seal on the floes was illegal and they didn't show the video where Heather had to beat a hasty retreat when the seal tried to bite her. Gabby |

Quit harvesting the seals and the fishing industry goes straight to hell as the seals overpopulate. I'd suggest you do some research before supporting it. I was beginning to wonder if someone had clubbed her in the head while she was out on the ice today. Probably not... but did someone club YOU? Please do not support the boycott.

I always maintained that if baby seal pups were as ugly as lobsters nobody would give a damn. Then they have that permanent tear stain from the cold salty air that makes them look like they are crying from fear. |

I could give a damn about the Canadian Boycott. I boycott Red Lobster because their food sucks and is over-priced. Maybe the nation is developing taste buds? ;-) I think you'd better reread his post. The McCartneys talked about Red Lobster boycotting Canadian seafood (not Canadians boycotting Red Lobster). Problem is, the McCartneys are misinformed: Red Lobster has REFUSED to join the boycott of Canadian Seafood called for by the HSUS. She thinks all the seal hunters would gladly give up the fur harvest if the government would buy back their licences and help them get into the whale watching business. lol Yah right. You wish. Dave doesn't, Heather Mills-McCartney does. According to her, the Canadian people overwhelmingly want the government to put an end to the seal hunt but there is a "small majority" who want it to go on. Yeah. The SMART majority! I just thought her math was off: "a majority of Canadians want the hunt to end but a small majority want it to go on." Make up your mind Lady McCartney, does a majority want it to end or to go on? Quit harvesting the seals and the fishing industry goes straight to hell as the seals overpopulate. I'd suggest you do some research before supporting it. I don't think Dave has any intention of supporting the boycott of Canadian seafood. I was beginning to wonder if someone had clubbed her in the head while she was out on the ice today. Probably not... but did someone club YOU? Please do not support the boycott. It's bogus. He's not. Lady Heather came across as a total air-head. I kept wondering why he ever married her. Compared to Linda, she's a twit. Gabby |

I guess crabs, like spiders, aren't cute and cuddly. They weren't much interested in campaigning to stop the over fishing of the Grand Banks by European fleets.

Nobody mentioned the fact that approaching that baby seal on the floes was illegal and they didn't show the video where Heather had to beat a hasty retreat when the seal tried to bite her. I doubt that a nip from a seal pup would hurt much because they are still nursing. I wouldn't want to get bitten by an older on. I worked for a while as a trainer at a marine park, I had a healthy respect for the seals and sea lions. Some of the things they do that look so cute are natural aggressive displays. The first day on the job I was helping to get some sea lions out of the pen for a show. I asked the guy if the sea lions ever bit. He said that he had been there five years and never been bitten. It wasn't more than 5 seconds later than one of them hauled off and bit him in the leg, and it as a nasty bite, like being chomped on the leg by a German Shepherd. |

It's always disappointing when someone so attractive opens their mouth and has a horrible whiny voice, but the complete lack of articulation, the mispronunciation of words, absolute ignorance, and the complete lack of manners. Even Paul had to hush her up a few times because she was carrying on and making an ass of herself. |
