Link: Toronto Star A committee of Canadian politicians has decided to add seal meat to the menu of the posh restaurant inside Canada's Parliament Building in Ottawa. The Canadian government has been blasted by Europeans and wildlife groups for allowing the seal hunt but has remained steadfast in support of it. It is not, however, primarily a meat hunt; it's an income-producer that relies on sales of fur to Russia and China and seal oil to medical researchers. Not all Parliamentarians support the new menu choice."The harp seal that they are talking about and are so excited about, it tastes horrible," said Liberal Senator Mac Harb. "[The menu committee should] have a feast first before any other members of Parliament so they can see firsthand how tasty it is. I'm sure they'll conclude quite quickly it's not edible."
