SaltMeat.com – For people that have Newfoundland Salt Spray in their Blood!

In an ironic twist, a protester from the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals was pied in Newfoundland on Friday.
The unusual scene unfolded in St. Johns as a group of people were waiting outside for the arrival of Prime Minister Stephen Harper at an event.
The protester, 21-year-old Emily Lavender, was dressed as a seal and was holding a sign that read: “Harper Stop the Seal Slaughter.”
However, a man dressed up in a dog suit arrived, knocked off the head on Lavenders seal cost costume and tossed a pie in her face.
The man in the dog suit then took off down the street.
PETA made headlines earlier in the week when one of their members pied Fisheries Minister Gail Shea in the face in protest of the seal hunt.
After Fridays sneak pie attack, Lavender told reporters that the Shea incident wasnt out of line.
“It’s not nearly as embarrassing as the blood on her hands, she said. And it’s time she stop supporting the largest massacre of marine mammals on the planet.”
The dog-costumed man wasnt the only person who took offence to Lavenders protest.
Standing nearby, local Wallace Ryan, wearing a shirt that read If seals were ugly, nobody would give a damn, told Lavender to go home.
“We’re here to point out that PETA has incited violence and hate against Newfoundland and Labrador for years,” he said.
Its not clear if any organized group was behind Fridays pie plot.

The EU imposes their ban on Canadian seal products. Nothing wrong with the way Canadians are hunting them. There are over five million of these little bastards, 300, 000 are hunted. They breed like rabbits. Meanwhile, 7000 Newfoundland and Labrador families are because of the EU. Hunting Seals is hard work, no easy task. But when the world hears Paul McCartney tuning his guitar to Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Hey Jude and Helter Skelter, the earth listens. Paul McCartney eating his lettuce and rosemary roots for health. This Beatles is responsible for turning a generation into drug use, now hes telling the world what not eat or buy. Hypocrite Europeans. Canada will launch a formal protest with the World Trade Organization over a ban on the import of seal products approved by the European Union, International Trade Minister Stockwell Day announced Monday. Denmark and Romania abstained from supporting the ban during the vote, as did Austria, which wants even stronger measures against seal products. David Barry of the Fur Institute of Canada, said the ban’s approval was “not unexpected.” “We feel it’s certainly irresponsible, completely counter-productive in terms of looking at seal practice and how to do it well, and it’s simply a political move on the part of EU decision-makers,” Barry said Monday morning on CTV News Channel. In a statement, the foreign ministers said the ban was a “response to concerns about the animal welfare aspects of seal hunting practices.” Many of the EU’s 27 member countries charge that Canada’s seal hunt, the largest in the world, is inhumane. The EU objects to the large number of animals killed during the annual hunt.
