Protester Sentenced to Probation

So, while I understand this protester's convictions, I vehemently disagree with her methods. I am a fervent opponent of animal research, but stalking, or any kind of threatening action, just doesn't work. It simply creates sympathy and bad pr for the rest of us. They do no good.

Canada Reaches Seal Product Deal with China

It's bullshit and there is no way this can stand, but the fact that it's even been threatened is ridiculous. This is just a tool to silence criticism of large corporations.

Newfoundland MP Says PETA Pie Throw Could be Terrorism

She's referring to the pie thrown in the face of Fisheries Minister Gail Shea by a PETA member protesting the Canadian seal hunt. It's pretty scary that a Liberal MP would actually question whether a pie in the face is terrorism. I'm wondering whether the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act in the US is making the rounds of Canadian politicians.
