The cruel and inhumane way of despatching these baby seals is horrifying.
However, it is interesting and upsetting that human tragedy never seems to elicit the same emotional response as cruelty to animals.
We should all be outraged and furious that in so many parts of the world, children literally starve to death, are often blinded by easily curable diseases, are abused and enslaved by cynical profiteers and pedophiles. That so many are the orphans of AIDS sufferers.
Moreover, the value of human life is so low in some areas that the poor and the desperate offer themselves as ginae pigs to drug companies testing their drugs in order to feed their families.
Yes, the treatment of baby seals in Namibia is appalling but why aren't we out in the streets protesting against the horrors inflicted on vulnerable and innocent humans by other humans?
Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary. Mahatma Gandhi
