This morning, when Prime Minister Stephen Harper met with President Obama at the Canadian Embassy in D.C., he got a welcome that I'm sure he won't forget any time soon.

Good work little seals!
Posted by: Robert Donat | September 16, 2009 07:11 PM
You should have hired a fourth guy, made him wear a Canada-flag shirt and have him beat the seals with a plastic club. At any rate, well done Peta!

I LOVE PETA!
They need to arrest those mean club swinging killing seal hunters!

Accolades for activists who peacefully protest against the seal hunt, slaughterhouses, animal vivisection, fur, hunting, trapping, bullfighting, dogfighting, cockfighting and abortion.

Hardly fair, is it? You can legally club a seal pup to death for the sake of fashion and yet you end up being arrested for speaking out against the horrific cruelty those seals endure.

i'm so jealous! i wish i could have been there!

I think it was a good idea to do this, because people need to know that this is going on, and that it needs to stop. Animals make up our eco-system, there here for a reason. There not here to be clubbed, hunted, skinned, slaughtered, etc.

I don't understand what is so wrong about it? Is Canada so concerened about what they truely do to these poor animals? The Prime Minister should be a bit more sympathetic and understand that no one approves of such cruelty! Yet, the Prime Minister sleeps at night with no worries whatsoever...STOP THE SEAL SLAUGHTER!!!

I don't approve of all the PETA moves to attract attention - but this one got my thumbs up approval. Hope Harper got the message!
Posted by: suzana Megles | September 17, 2009 11:06 AM
Go guys!!!
Posted by: NT | September 17, 2009 12:28 PM
This really got the message out, great protest!
Posted by: Maureen | September 17, 2009 12:30 PM
Well done! Fantastic costumes, although you might want to put some grey on there to signify a moulting pup. You know how those tiresome pro-sealing people like to point out that whitecoats aren't killed anymore while ignoring the fact that those very whitecoats die the moment they lose their first white hair.
Well done and thanks for what you're doing!

I think the protestors were arrested for blocking traffic rather than protesting the seal slaughter, however I know from experience that blocking traffic is sometimes the only way to get the attention of the public. I once participated in a protest for a group called "Worthy Wage" which is dedicated to trying to get better wages for daycare workers and teachers. We got attention and news coverage by completely blocking the main throughfare into our city on a busy weekday morning. Nobody went to jail but we all got cited (I think the police were afraid we'd riot which we had no intention of doing...our group believed in passive resistance). We got television news coverage, and that was the main thing.

Way to go Seals!!!!!!
Posted by: Kerri Krusinski | September 17, 2009 03:16 PM
Good job! We should all be backing these protesters! I hope none of them were hurt. The law can be pretty rough sometimes in taking people away. Keep up the good work!

For those wondering - the seals were not arrested for their protesting, they were arrested for blocking traffic. You'll probably say "well, it's their right to protest," yes... but you have the right to "peacefully protest" which means you can't cause a roadblock.
Plus, seriously - is this worth the lives of yourselves, causing pain for your family and friends, for seals who you may never get to meet?
If it is - then I sincerely pray for you and the nation because you are being selfish.
(BTW, I don't condone the seal hunt, as I hate animals being killed just for their fur or head/antlers. That said, I don't think someone should be risking their own lives for it as well as those in a car. Seriously - this time you got VERY Lucky given D.C.'s traffic that no one died.

BRAVO!! this slaughter is shameful, Mr. Harper, end it if you don't like the way the world views you.
this is great coverage, it was peaceful enough, the protesters hurt no one, the seals are tortured to death in this killing so if the protest gets a little ugly, good for those brave ones!

i agree with bluebell, how is it legal to club seals, but illegal to protest against the cruelty, it just shows how blind some people really are!!!!!!
Posted by: emma | September 18, 2009 08:44 AM
I think that you need to read the First Amendments before blindly saying that they were arrested for protesting. They are given the right to free speech, freedom to assemble, freedom to petition, and freedom of the press. They would not have been arrested if they were rolling on the grass, and not in traffic.
Posted by: Edward | September 20, 2009 12:07 PM
Wow, those are some brave, brave furries.
