Seal Hunt Protesters Get Ass Rammed

Alright, some seal news! This doesn't directly involve Paul McCartney, but it's great nevertheless.

So the seal hunt began Saturday morning, and, as always, the protesters were just as ready as the seal hunters themselves. They were there with their taunts, insults, and video cameras. And the seal hunters finally took a stand. About time! The police sure does nothing to stop these protesters from bothering the hunters, so they have to take matters into their own hands. How would you like it if somebody came into your office or where ever you work, and starting yelling at your and heckling you all day? You'd get pretty pissed.

Now, the government does have laws in place against these protesters. They're allowed to watch, but have to stay at a distance of at least ten meters away. The protesters violated that space, but since there's no police to enforce the law, what can be done? Well, the seal hunters threw some seal intestines at them. Proper thing I say! However, the protesters were arrested on Sunday by fishery officials. They argued by saying that the seals rammed their boat; an argument that doesn't hold water. The fishermen own their boat and any repairs that have to be made to them comes right out of their profits. Again, to the office analogy, that's like when you have that person there heckling you, you get them to go away by smashing your computer over their head. Sure, they leave. But now you have to spend $1000 to get a new computer.

But perhaps they did ram them. After all, they're cruel barbaric savages... right Sir Paul?
