Miss Newfoundland Sarah Green. Anti-seal hunting group posted this doctored photo on Facebook.
An anti-seal hunting group posted a doctored photo of bloodied Miss Newfoundland, Sara Green on a Facebook page.
The photo was later removed, but Green is continuing to talk and voice her support for the hunt.
“It was gruesome. It was unnecessary … when I saw the photo, of course my jaw dropped,” Green said. “I couldn’t believe it, but it gave me a bigger motivation to stand up for the seal hunt.”
Green also stated she planned to join her grandfather and uncle during the upcoming seal hunt in the spring.
Camille Labchuk, a member of the Green Party of Canada’s federal council said, “No compassionate person can observe the seal kill and still support it. What it represents is an archaic industry that is going nowhere but downhill. Countries around the world are shutting their borders to seal products.”
Granted, the photo is gruesome looking. But so are pictures from the annual hunts.
Is this a case of activists going too far?
Or compassionate realists trying to expose the truth?
