My guess is that it's not ethical to steal what belongs to another being
i.e., their bodies. I guess it's OK since a lot of animals kill other
animals for food too. I gonna feel a lot better when we get that new
non-conscious meat grown in meat-growing tanks. That will pretty much
take care of that pesky killin' question.

I saw Varick Frissell's 1931 movie "The Viking" in TV the other night.
Holy smokes, old time sealing was really dangerous! You guys really need
seal farms. :-)
