Michael Jackson “Earth Song” Features Seal Slaughter Scene

We’ve touched on Michael Jackson’s “Earth Song” before, for which he won the Doris Day Music Award at the Genesis Awards in 1996.
The song was never released in the United States, but was a chart topper in the UK, even beating out famed hits like “Thriller” and “Beat It.”
The video depicts various scenes of basically humankind destroying the Earth-from pollution to war and famine to animal abuse.
Seal slaughter is an assault on both animals and the environment and Jackson features a short clip of one being clubbed by a hunter around minute 3:25.
Thanks to activism, Canadian Seal slaughters were down by 200,000 in this year’s hunt and history was made when the European Union voted to ban the trade of seal products. In the past, Europe has been a target market for Canadian seal products.

Seal slaughter is cruel! Don’t slaughter them.

Powerful video, that scene in particular – just before it the dolphin trapped in the net. It really does make your stomach turn at the thought of these murderers.
