Paul McCartney vs. Danny Williams

I just caught the tail-end of the re-run of this, and I have to say I was very impressed by Danny Williams and how he handled it. This is the first time I've seen a defense of the sealing industry that didn't end up making it worse. He cited proper statistics and studies by places like the World Wildlife Fund that said that sealing was more humaine than the fast majority of human hunting or fishing or farming practices.

He's not going to change anyone's minds, people who are against sealing are going to stay that way, and it's an opinion I respect, but the attention paid to the sealing practice is completely unwarranted.

On a sie note I think I'd much rather spend my life as a seal living freely in the wild and having my life ended by a swift knock to the head (I'd take that over a polar bear, at any rate) than being a cow that's born, raised, fed, slaughtered and served in a box.
