Quantcast Vegetarian StarSam Simon Offers Sealers One Million For Government Buyout

Sam Simon Pamela Anderson

Sam Simon and Pamela Anderson visited officials of the Canadian sealers to give them an offer to help with the government buyout of the industry.

The terminally ill creator of the popular cartoon The Simpsons and the Canadian born former Baywatch actress visited St. John’s, Newfoundland to make the in-person offer Simon made in a letter addressed to the organization.

Simon wrote:

“I make this offer in the wake of last month’s WTO ruling to uphold the EU’s ban on seal imports. With bans firmly in place across Europe, Russia, the U.S., and other countries, the writing is on the wall: The seal trade is finished. Leaders as diverse as President Obama and Vladimir Putin embrace this change, yet Canadian politicians remain too timid to initiate a
buyout for fear of upsetting swing voters in eastern Canada—and because they don’t seem to care about individual sealers. That’s why I’m appealing to you as a trade leader to break the ice and prompt a buyout like those that helped asbestos miners, tobacco farmers, and workers in other collapsed industries.”

Simon is a vocal vegetarian and animal rights activist who is donating much of his fortune to many charities that support vegetarianism and animal welfare.
