Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean was invited and took part in a Inuit ceremony inwhich the GG thoroughly enjoyed the raw seal meat she asked if she could try. BRAVO!
I used to support PETA and the SPCA when they were about stopping the rubbing of mascara in rabbits eyes and preventing people from abusing, beating, or starving animals for no good reason other than to satisfy their sickness.
I know that most indigenous peoples in North America give some kind of thanks when they kill an animal. Not only to the Great Father, but to the animal as well. I often wonder how many of these bleeding hearts give thanks to the cow or pig when they go buy their steaks or chops at the local grocers!
