Ryan Reynolds narrates a film produced by the Humane Society of the United States about an orca named Luna and the many complex and beautiful traits marine animals like it posesses.

Reynolds spoke with the HSUS on his motivations for contributing his time to The Whale.

He became interested in Luna after his brother–who works as a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman near Nootka Sound where Luna lived–told him his firsthand accounts.

Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson have produced a documentary about an orca whale who appeared to form a close bond with some unexpectant family members.

The Whale portrays the story of Luna, who lands on the Nootka Sound area of British Columbia. Despite warnings from wildlife experts, humans found it hard to resist Luna’s company and longed to get closer to him.

One victory down, many more to go.

The European Parliament voted to ban the import of seal products, including coats and even some omega-3 pills.

According to news.yahoo.com:

“The EU ban will apply to all products and processed goods derived from seals, including their skins — which are used to make fur coats, bags and adorn clothing — as well as meat, oil blubber, organs and seal oil, which is used in some omega-3 pills.”

The ban is an effort to pressure Canada to end its annual seal hunt.

Many notable celebrities have voiced their concerns over Canada’s Seal Hunt, including Pamela Anderson, Paul McCartney, Ryan Reynolds, Brigitte Bardot, and Bryan Adams.

“Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, I think we can all agree that unspeakable suffering has occurred at the hands (flippers) of these sinister white snow devils. Most recently – in fact just now – they’ve been coined, ‘the white-fanged dispensers of death.’ Little is known of their feeding habits, although it’s widely speculated among seal clubbing spokespeople that human toddler brains are the preferred source of nutrition. And cod. As a counter measure, once a year Canadian hunters will selflessly enter an arena of unbridled peril. Broader dangers of the seal hunt include: accidentally clubbing one’s own shin, chapped lips, having to get up early, thirstiness, and the all too common: red snowball fight.”

—-Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds, in a sarcastic piece he wrote in the Huffington Post on the Canadian Seal Hunt. Kudos to Ryan for shedding light on this situation. Although there’s nothing humorous about the seal hunt, at least Ryan’s post will spark attention and hopefully, incite others to take action.
