It's a shame it's missing :( As for why they kill seals it may be unnecessary, but I would rather have a seal fur coat made in Canada than a polyester jumper made in China. You might be right about race horses being under fed, most of the girls at the Melbourne Cup are as well.

And in regards to seal clubbing, it is the fact that killing seals is TOTALLY unnecessary. One of the major justifications for the cull is that "there's too many and they're eating all the fish" but the fish they are talking about (I think cod) aren't actually part of the seal's diet, and there have been studies that have shown the decline in numbers is actually due to over-fishing. Also, the hunters aren't supposed to kill the cute fluffy babies, but they kill their parents so the babies die of starvation anyway. Also a lot of the stuff about anti-fur is because most fur comes from China which has pretty horrific fur-farms. Lastly I used to have that t-shirt but it has mysteriously gone missing and I am very upset :( In regards to horse-racing, the horses are often under-fed to get them lighter to be able to run (my step-sisters used to ride competitively, one of their current horses is an ex-racehorse and REALLY fucked up about food.)
