It seems the truth can be clubbed just like a seal

This past Friday while waiting for dump trucks to arrive at the job site, I had the chance to listen to Focus 980 a local call in show hosted by a conservative I usually agree with.
He was having Cathy Kangas as a guest. She was offering the Canadian government 16 million dollars to end the seal hunt.

Mr Wilson the host of the show seem to grow of the opinion Mrs. Kangas wasn’t out to lunch as others at PETA and like organizations usually are. However it didn’t take much time for the listener to hear Kangis and summize though articulate and coming from a different direction she, under the surface differs very little from McCartney and company.


After hearing Kangas not far in, state that there where two victims when it came to the seal hunt one being the fisherman, the other being the seals. That statement in itself is red flag number one. As soon as you hear a person use victim whether its about an animal ,welfare recipient , or a young man turning to crime you know logic is suddenly suspect, and their view that honest human beings that exist amidst certain responsibilities and natural rules are close minded, barbaric, and rather stupid. It also was easy to hear her half hearted but calculated support for the fisherman, who she said where supporting of her offer, something not surprising really as even the best of us will sell out our principles.

True to the left leaning form of your generic animal rights activist she mentioned making the seal hunters park rangers who would inoculate the seals rendering them sterile, however she also mentioned the danger involved in clubbing seals. I guess she fails to see the danger in walking over the same ice floes to inoculate them as clubbing them. Plus a club is not as sharp as a needle.

If anything Kangas was skilled in her ability of deception, and playing both sides of the fence ; a liberal strong point.

Many questioned her views , though praised her persona on the show however she was a snake oil salesmen and a good one at that, she didn’t mention that the 16 million dollars was coming from private donations, and other animal rights activist groups, she seemed content to let it stand that the money was hers? She also seemed to like the fact that the host John Wilson was referring to her point of view as being different and unemotional compared to others that have spoken out against the seal hunt.

I contended that she was good at hiding that emotion, I’m sure she harbours those emotions but knew as the left goes that their hair brained ideals when it comes to the way things are in our natural kingdom usually leads many to view animals rights activists as nuts..... rightly so.

Having heard enough I called in, wishing Kangas no ill will I called her on her bluff , and stated I see no difference between her and McCartney or any other A.R.A other than a good chunk of change, Mr Wilson disagreed with me, however there are realities we all must face in this world and those are if you live something living must die so you do so. You cannot remove yourself from that fact(without dying) , we all kill something to survive though maybe indirectly.

The final nail that signalled to me Kangas was a fraud when it came to objectivity, and a reasonable view on human existence amongst the animal kingdom came when she referred to my call as moot when it came to the right and wrong of killing animals. Her moral relativity , and lack of respect for a wrong and a right leaves me wondering how she than can be for or against the seal hunt when she cannot have the courage to believe in right and wrong when it comes to something she believes in. I asked if she was a member of PETA? She replied “no”, however on getting home from work and doing a search I found she was a member of The Sea Shepards " Certainly she wasn't totally dishonest nor was she totally truthfull she knew what I was digging for it was what she was hiding ; her resemblance in ideals to thiswoman and these organizations and their inability to stand anything they find unpleasent to their sensibilities and their inability to admit that they to are just as much a killer as Joe Blow hunter and trapper, and the only way we stop taking from this planet is when we cease to exsist. Hunters and trappers and those that take reality for what it is, accept that fact nor do they see value in an living organisims extinction no matter how cute it is.

Kangas and company, Paul included are not able to handle that fact and animals will always come before people, and truth and logic. I wonder what their views are when it comes to their lives and livelyhoods.

Cathy you don't fool me.

Hey, thanks for reading my postings. I just finished yours and agree with your findings. It is always interesting to hear the left give their logic and when challenged squirm around to find a way out.

Good writing. Take care and have agreat weekend.
