The massive reaction against the seal killing is mostly because it is _extremely_ cruel-, and carried out on a massive scale too. Many seals suffer in indescribably awful ways, and such scenes have been put into full public view this year. Faced with images of extreme cruelty, people have been badly shocked and then outraged, and that is, understandably, directed at the country that carries out this horror. Were the realities of 'meat production' made public in a similar manner, I think that most people would be similarly compelled to oppose that, and would be boycotting the meat industry by abstaining from meat - especially when properly informed with the facts about nutrition- that we're not a naturally carnivorous species anyway.. (clue: we're primates). <..>
