Sadistic Killers in a Frozen Hell 

The Christian Science Monitor describing the seal slaughter:

"The few terrified survivors, left to crawl through the carnage. The shouted obscenities and threats from the sealers, gunfire cracking ominously in the distance. The pitiful cries of the pups; the repellent thuds of clubs raining down on soft skulls. Sealers' laughter echoing across the ice floes."

This made me cry. Gary, where can I find the full text of the article? When is it from? I looked on the CSM web site and it's not recent.

According to Matthew Scully, the comments are from "Rebecca Aldworth, a native Newfoundlander writing for The Christian Science Monitor." I will try to find an electronic copy of the original source.

Found it -- someone linked to it on a vegan represent thread about the seal hunt. Thanks!

As sad and cruel as any slaughter house. And of course the most ugly truth: sanctioned by Governments!

Thank you for all your efforts, Gary.

As a dear friend replied recently, regarding those who do not protest cruelty, "The hottest places in hell are for those who in times of crisis, maintain their neutrality." - Dante
