Moonbats Denounce Canada's Governor General for Honoring Inuit Tradition

Get mad, Canadians! Animal rights moonbats think you're Neanderthals. They don't like it one bit that Governor General Michaëlle Jean ate some raw seal in a show of support for Inuit traditions.
Barbara Slee, an anti-seal hunt campaigner at the International Fund for Animal Welfare in Brussels, said she was disgusted by Jean's actions.
"The fact that the Governor General in public is slashing and eating a seal, I don't think that really helps the cause, and I'm convinced that this will not change the mind of European citizens and politicians," Slee told The Associated Press.
"It amazes us that a Canadian official would indulge in such bloodlust," Dan Mathews, senior vice-president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, told the Toronto Star.
"It sounds like she's trying to give Canadians an even more Neanderthal image around the world than they already have."
Kicking off a weeklong visit to Nunavut on Monday as part of the territory's 10th anniversary celebrations, Jean gutted and ate some fresh seal at a community festival in the central Nunavut community of Rankin Inlet.
The move, to show support for the beleaguered seal hunters, comes as the European Union voted earlier this month to impose a ban on seal products after years of intense lobbying by animal rights groups.
Asked Tuesday whether her actions were a message to Europe, Jean replied, "Take from that what you will."
A spokeswoman for EU Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas offered no official reaction.
"No comment — it's too bizarre to acknowledge," [EU "Spokeswoman for the Environment"] Barbara Helfferich said.
More bizarre still is the arrogance of sanctimonious Euroweenies who try to impose their authoritarian moonbattery on the entire planet.
On a tip from Chris.
