Save the seals action alert...and some NCAA news
Carol from New York sent me this e-mail and gave me the OK to post it here:
Enough about one woman who is in a vegetative state (coma) for 15 years.
I take one look at such stories and say ‘ who cares ‘. This only concerns the family; No one else. As far as I’m concerned, its all a waste of time, energy and money. Since there is no hope of recovery and of her actually becoming any kind of functioning human being again, give up on all this. Pull all the plugs, and move on. Bury her already. Which they should have done years ago.
It sure seems like someone in a coma has more rights than regular, normal functioning people. Nobody cares about all those Iraqis being killed. (We’re the ones doing the killing, so they (the politicians and the media) won’t talk about that.
It takes a lot of money to keep someone on all those tubes and machines for years. What about people who don’t have that kind of money. They just get disconnected quietly; nobody makes a fuss about them.
Millions of people don’t have basic health care ----health insurance. They can’t afford it.
They go bankrupt over paying medical bills. Why don’t they make a fuss over that !
And starting Tuesday, in Canada, the Seal Slaughter is starting up again.
Have you seen pictures of those little baby seals? Go to websites like : Friends of Animals, International Fund for Animal Welfare (http://www.ifaw.org <http://www.ifaw.org> ) , Harpseals.org and others.
These are the cutest little baby animals are going to have their heads bashed in and get skinned alive, by the hundreds of thousands ! There is a quota of a million in 3 years. The Canadian Government subsidizes this. This is horrible !
Why can’t people respect and peacefully co-habitate with the fellow creatures who share the planet with us? Animals have a right to live too ! They have families that they love and care for too !
This is so much more important than one person in a coma. Whats one person compared to all these little baby seals? Lets get those politicians to rush to cut their vacations short to help the seals. (Lets get them to stop slaughtering other animals too, like the wolves in Alaska. They shoot them from helicopters. Whole families of them. Lets stop them from slaughtering horses, especially the last of the wild horses and burros in the West. The list of animals getting murdered goes on and on.)
I find the murder of these poor, defenseless baby seals (right in front of their mothers, who are often killed trying to defend their babies) so much more important and heartbreaking.
