Spacey Sealskin Slipper Story Is Spurious

We were flooded with phone calls and e-mails from ticked-off folks after Land and Sea, a TV show on Canada's CBC network, aired an episode about the annual Canadian seal massacre. But it wasn't for the reasons that you might think. People were outraged because the episode featured the manager of a Newfoundland gift shop recalling that Kevin Spacey bought a pair of slippers made of sealskin while filming a movie in the area.

Kevin Spacey in sealskin?! We've always known Spacey to be a kind person, so we asked him to set the record straight about this rumor. Spacey's rep assured us that the Oscar-winning American Beauty star did not purchase sealskin slippers (or anything else) from that gift shop. So file this one under "false rumor" (or "rumour," for our Canuck compatriots).
If you're fed up with the cruelty of the Canadian seal slaughter—and the lies of its apologists—then please take a minute to add your voice to those calling for an end to the massacre. Then spread the word to persuade other folks to do the same.

I think it's funny how the talk about how Canadians massacre seals. It's neat to see American's criticize Canadians for how what industries are run out of their country. Especially when you put into perspective that the United States was selling over $36 billion worth of arms (guns and weapons of war) to other countries. $30 billion dollars more then the next biggest arms dealer which is Britain.
Basically American's deal and profit from death, and not just any death, the death of human beings. Who knows maybe those guns and weapons are even being used against animals.
Funny enough those numbers are from 2000... and I bet you the amount of arms sales they made between 2001 rose even higher. I hate the idea that anything is being massacred, it's sad and unfair, but it bothers me even more when I see a person criticize another when they are doing just as questionable acts.
