They should have handed Paul a club out on the ice and asked him to show them how to do it the right way.

Your argument is ignorant. Who would compare the way lions obtain their food to our industrialized farming practices. Why do so many immigrants who work in meat packing plants? Is it because the locals don't want to? Why haven't you fulfilled your ambition to kill a cow? Nobody argues that plants are comparable to animals or humans in their capacity to feel pain. Maybe I'll think about that the next time I pull off leaves that aren't quite dead.

Interesting.

Immigrants work in meat packing plants because the wages are low and the work is hard - most Canadians have better opportunities.

It's just as ignorant for McCartney to compare the seal harvest with the slave trade.

By the way, Sarah was using sarcasm.

Yes, I've read about that before.... she should figure out a way to make steers comfortable with the idea that if they sacrifice themselves to the barbecue they will be rewarded with 72 virgin heifers in heaven.

You should also understand that many species of plant/animal only exist because they taste good to humans. If we suddenly decided not to eat beef, many species of cattle would go extinct. I guess if that ever happened McCartney would have something to protest about.

She's autistic. People with autism can do compassion, for people or animals, prejudice is beyond them.

I was supposed to know that?

I just saw the McCartneys on Larry King (CNN). Larry let the McCartneys speak for about 55 minutes in the 1-hour long show. Danny Williams only spoke (uninterrupted) for about 5 minutes. For much of the time while Williams tried to speak, Mrs. McCartney was speaking over him with her propaganda - and she was very rude and very hypocritical.

As for Paul, when Williams invited him to come to Newfoundland to learn more about the salient issues regarding the seal hunt, he replied that he was already in Newfoundland and saw all that he could. Williams had to explain to Paul that he was actually in Prince Edward Island (another province) and not in Newfoundland!

I had a good laugh at the end when Williams told the McCartneys that they are being used and Mrs. McCartney replied, "we are not being used".

Paul looked like not too bad a guy who you could almost reason with, but his wife is just a bitch - beautiful, but still a bitch who you can't reason with. Williams is obviously a very smart man; too bad he was barely allowed to speak.

What on earth makes this meddlesome Merseysider imagine for one moment that his opinion is even the slightest bit more valid than that of Jimmy O'Ripshite from Ballyslapguttery? And he does, if anybody's seen Macca being interviewed, sanctimonious doesn't come close to descibing it.

There unfortunately appears to be some kind of character trait with many 'celebrities', whether it be Bono, Bardot, McCartney, Sting or that horrid little Ono creature, they all appear to be on some kind of ego trip, egomaniacs, the whole ****ing lot of them.

Awa' an' shite, Sir Paul, you and the lads were no' bad in New Brighton in '63, but you're full of shite the noo'.

i watched larry king, danny williams was made to look a real incompetent fool. His veins on his neck were sticking out he was so panic striken! heather was amazing as ever,what a great woman.
hope the boycott of canadian seafood gets bigger now, and hopefully this massacre will be in the history books next year, along with other brutal practices that were once acceptable, ie bair baiting, fox hunting.
just a question guys...theres lots of nasty comments/insults on this site......my question to all of you critising heather and paul....what do you do to make the world a better place? whether for animals or humans.
me? i am up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to volunteeer.you?

he's deaf too - the pair of you could shout sweet nothings (aka smut) and/or intructions to each other. And you'd have to leave the lights on to see the lips move.....

And here I thought the 'x' in your username was some sort of health care reference!

The difference is, when Paul McCartney talks, people react, wether you agree or not, wether you listen to him or not, he gets a reaction (you have reacted to him in the previous post)
When Jimmy O'Ripshite talks, only the person sat next to him reacts.
Both may or may not have valid arguements but which one will be heard the most?

I'm up at the crack of dawn for some cross country training in preparation for fox hunting later in the year. That'll make the world a better place for well exercised horses and dogs.

Ever spaired a thought for how some of the inuits live their lives. They bascially live off the sea and this means of living is for their survival not a profit game. If it was banned how would they survive or keep themselves and their kids warm and fed.
