PETA Creates Video Game To Draw Attention To Seal Hunting

As you probably know, Nature is awful. Judging from my house cat, animals seem to have clear goals: To murder humans. But People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has a different view; PETA sees animals as a precious natural resource we must protect and nurture, instead of as threat that must be constantly monitored and destroyed in order that we not be killed in our sleep by roving gangs of knife-wielding orangutan.

Unlike my cat, though, baby seals have never tried to kill me. They just hang out in Canada and look cute until hunters come along and club them for their pelts. As much as I oppose the generally murderous aims of the animal kingdom, I begrudgingly admit that people should probably stick to faux-fur and leave the baby seals alone. Surely animals so adorable can't be plotting my demise.

PETA agrees with me, but they are actually doing something about it, and have released Seal Slalom an internet flash game to bring attention to seal-slaughter. In the game, an adorable baby seal attempts to slide down a mountain while avoiding trees and the bad, bad people who want to club it and take its valuable pelt.

Before you visit the website and give it a try, be aware of two things: 1) You can't play as the seal-clubbers. 2) Running into the seal-clubbers' clubs does not result in horrifying violence and crimson baby-seal-blood on the snow. In fact, there doesn't seem to be any way to hurt the baby seal in the game at all, which seems a little counter-productive to PETA's aims. But hey, give it a try anyway. What else do you have to do today?

    PETA are hypocrites, they have youthinized animals. As Penn says on the show BS, "PETA kills animals while attacking people who kill animals."

    Plus medical research has saved millions of people, which PETA violently oppose.

    I proudly support the murdering of animals: I eat them all of the time. In fact, I'm eating turkey for dinner tonight. MMMM. Shove it, Peta.

    People freak out saying its to control the seal population and all, but why aren't the human populations being controlled? Armies of completely idiotic people roam the streets every day doing nothing but slowing the evolution of mankind. Why don't we just lower the bar for the death penalty? It'll get rid of stupid/crazy people, lower the human population, save more seals.

    Everybody wins.

    To increase the chances of killing instantly they should start using bigger clubs with spikes in them,big spikes. For controlling the seal population as Hyphnip mentioned.

    This is why I love Ted Nugents saying, Can t grill it till you kill it. So who wants to go "clubbing" later?

    i could really care less about peta, and i really never gave seal clubbing a second thought. in a weird way it sounds funny. however, i saw a video of actual seal clubbing................yeah it is pretty sick. don't see how or why wearing a seal pelt is that important to do that. who wears seal anyway?

    I can't think of an argument that won't start a flamewar in the discussion of Peta and their ethical values of the baby seals.

    I whole-heartedly agree that animals should be treated with respect and care, since I own 3 dogs, 2 cats and a hamster. All of em get along well, and its never a dull day.
    However it seems that PETA is going a bit far with the whole Seal-clubbin' argument.

    In my view, if PETA really wants to do something, sitting around creating flash games about the problem isn't going to solve anything. Sure, it might bring some attention for a short while, but we live in a day of age where the average attention span of a subject is around 2 hours. Peta needs to literally use all that funding they stole off some rich sucker and actually do something about it or just shut up.

    Everybody is a hypocrite
