Provocative images like this could just as easily be taken in a slaughterhouse that processes cattle, pigs, chickens, turkeys, etc., but because the seals are so 'cute' then people have an irrational, emotional response.
Tell ya what: stop eating meat, period, then you may have a right to get on a high horse.
