Our Governor General Shows PETA
So much for political correctness…
Van Sun: Canada’s Governor General began her Arctic tour by gutting a freshly slaughtered seal, pulling out its heart and eating it raw, according to media reports.
She also lauded the taste and nutritional quality of her snack.
“It’s like sushi,” she said.
“And it’s very rich in protein.”
Michaelle Jean, the Queen’s representative to the country, did it as a gesture of solidarity with the country’s beleaguered seal hunters, the reports said, adding that Jean expressed dismay that people would call the traditional hunting practices inhumane.
After eating the heart during a stop in Nunavut’s Rankin Inlet, Jean wiped her blood-soaked fingers with a tissue.
On Tuesday, Jean arrives in Kugluktuk, Nunavut.
I’m starting to warm up to her.
Hot Air has a good story:

Frankly, if I’m going to chow down on viscera, I’d rather have seal heart than haggis.
The video somehow was removed…

Wow did someone get that on tape? That is beyond belief. Good for her – I would have tried it fried with a little salt and pepper but raw and bloody is obviously good too. The lefties will be howling with rage – PETA can take a long winter holiday in the Antarctic. I wonder how penguin tastes?

She is bent. It was sick and it was unnecessary cold hearted beast she is turning out to be.
