Just when you think you’ve heard everything about President Obama, new news surfaces.

In 2006, when Barack was an Illinois senator, he wrote a letter to PETA condemning the Canadian seal hunt.

Yes, THE PETA. Who knew Barack had such animal lovin’ roots!

“I share your concerns about the Canadian seal hunt,” Obama wrote in a letter to the organization, dated April 13, 2006.

“As you know, Canada annually opens its eastern waters to commercial seal hunting. The United States and European Union have been unified in their opposition to the slaughter of seals by passing legislation decades ago to restrict the sale of seal-based products within their borders.”

“I certainly believe in the spirit of these acts; the U.S. should not condone this recent Canadian action.”

Much ado has been made about the level of physical fitness of the current president. (Shirtless photo, shirtless photo, shirtless photo.)

Would it be inappropriate for us to suggest the President of the United States to take off his shirt for PETA in the name of animals? Even jokingly? We certainly hope not. 

One thing’s for sure, it’s definitely appropriate for Obama to continue to champion for animals while in office.

Not long ago, we brought you the wonderful news that Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin had banned hunting baby seals and was looking for a complete ban on all seal hunting.

Now animal rights activist and sex symbol of the 50s through 70s Brigitte Bardot is praising him as well.

“I really want to thank you and congratulate you for your willingness to denounce the hunting of young seals that you rightly call a bloody practice,” Bardot wrote in a letter to Putin, a copy of which was obtained by AFP.

“Mr Prime Minister, you who remain the president of my heart, I want to thank you very sincerely for hearing my call.”

The letter was sent the day after Putin called for the ban of hunting seals under one year of age.
