Europe Protects Baby Seals, We Protect Europe

July 24, 2008 / 10:36 am • By Dr. Melissa Clouthier

The latest, urgent crisis to grip the European Union, and of course, a commission is needed to enforce the rules. From the BBC:

Trade in seal products would be allowed only where they came with guarantees that the animals did not suffer unnecessarily.

A certification scheme would be established including, if necessary, a distinctive label or mark, showing that a seal-trading country met strict conditions.

And all that I can think is that Europe has the luxury of fretting over baby seals because they’re secure in knowing that America will spend resources to protect baby Europeans should it come down to it. So why would they need a missile defense shield?

    Is protecting Baby Seals (TM) commanded (or even mentioned) in the Koran?

    It may turn out to be a good thing if Europe develops its own missile defense, because if Obama wins he’ll almost certainly cripple our own activities in that direction.

    Maybe if we ask very nicely, and pay a great deal of money, the Europeans will let us buy their system.

    Maybe it should be “Europe Protects Baby Seals, We Protect *Baby* Europe.” Same difference.

    Before or after Europe goes under the halal slaughter knives?
