This post is a joke, right? I'll say it one last time. THEY ARE NOT
CULLING THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE EATING THE FISH! They are slaughtering
them for their fur!! If it were actually "culling" to reduce the
population and therefore keep the fishies safe, it would be ALL seals,
not the 2 week old pup with undamaged hides.
F*CK you people hear only what you want to hear.

Good for you guys! It's a disgusting practise with no practical
purpose other than the almighty dollar. They are brutally clubbed and
oftentimes skinned while still alive and conscious. Not to sound
preachy, but if anyone wants to learn more or sign a petition to help
stop the hunt, pls. visit

If you are that opposed to the seal culling, then I suggest you start a
polar bear and orca breeding program, because somebody has to eat the seals.
If all these seals are allowed to live, they will decimate the fisheries,
then there will be no fish for either people or sea life.

Good for you guys! It's a disgusting practise with no practical
purpose other than the almighty dollar. They are brutally clubbed and
oftentimes skinned while still alive and conscious. Not to sound

Nope, the seals would DECIMATE Canadian fishing areas if left to breed
uncontrollably...seafood is a huge Canadian export. Economic chaos
would ensue in the Canadian Maritimes if seals were allowed to breed
even more than they do...this is already becoming a problem in the
Pacific Northwest, seals are *plundering* stocks of salmon and other
seafood.
What do you think seals EAT after all -- lettuce and Hartz Mountain
bird seed...??? They eat crabs, fish, and other denizens of the sea.
Seals are just another part of the food chain...
Let's put it this way: show me a vegetarian seal and I'll *gladly*
support your anti - seal hunt blather...
Besides which, the native Inuit people have been harvesting seals for
millenia as it's their livelihood, so I guess an uninformed armchair
LEFTIST nitwit like you knows better, eh?
They are brutally clubbed and
> oftentimes skinned while still alive and conscious.
So are cows, chickens, clams, pigs, fish, bunny rabbits, deers,
lobsters, and myriad other creatures...there is a REASON man is at the
top of the food heap -- we are SMARTER and BETTER...
[Don't forget that plants "cry" too when they are harvested. Do you
ever feel any sympathy for a soybean or a pineapple or a cotton
boll...???]
But let me guess: you are a "vegan" and your shoes are made of bark
instead of leather and you've never taken advantage of modern medicine
-- right...???

No thanks, that site is sheer and UTTER propaganda...if has been
debunked here before.
And Brigitte Bardot'>Brigitte Bardot is simply a meddling old bag, she has said before
that animal lives should supersede human lives...she should go back to
France and count her wrinkles...all those years in the sun have
obviously FRIED her brain...
[Although I *do* applaud her French anti - Muslim immigrant stance, she
should stick to that...]

This story seems fishy. They wait??? How long could the flailing last
after having fish hooks (they must be of a sturdy kind to hold a
flailing puppy or kitten) inserted into their snout and legs? If the
hooks didn't kill them, just how long were they supposed to last in
water before drowning? If the sharks were already seen in the water,
any meat could have done the trick. Why go through the trouble of
using difficult animals? Has anything been corroborated except
hearsay?

Hutchence millions kiss dirt, leaving family with zilch
August 20, 2005
At last the value of Michael Hutchence's estate can be revealed: zilch. So
what happened to his fortune? Kate McClymont investigates.
Eight years after his death, the family of Michael Hutchence has finally
received the executor's report regarding the late singer's estate. Despite
having an estimated fortune of between $10 million and $20 million, it came
as no surprise to the family to find the cupboard was bare.
Hutchence's advisers say the situation is exactly as Hutchence would have
wished, as he didn't want his "thieving relatives" and "girlfriends" to get
their hands on his fortune. This, of course, is at complete odds with the
wishes the rock star expressed in his will.
"I just cannot believe that it took them eight years to do this," said
Hutchence's mother, Patricia Glassop, referring to a four-page letter from
the Hong Kong law firm Boase Cohen & Collins dated August 2.
"Dear Madam," it reads, "We now take this opportunity of enclosing a final
accounting prepared by the executor in respect of this matter for your
file." According to the figures, the balance of the INXS singer's estate as
of July this year was zero. The letter went on to say Hutchence had $506 in
cash at the time of his death, while his share of INXS's bank balance was
$572.
After the sale of art works, real estate, guitars, a Harley-Davidson
motorbike, a Jeep and other items, the outgoings of the estate, which
included $670,000 in legal fees, meant there was nothing there for the
beneficiaries.
But not included in the executor's list were three Gold Coast properties
worth more than $10 million, a villa in the south of France, rented at $9000
per week, a house in London's fashionable Chelsea, a development in Lombok,
Indonesia, a string of luxury cars including a Bentley and an Aston Martin,
as well as the continuing royalty payments from INXS.
Hutchence had structured his financial affairs not only to minimise tax but
to protect his fortune from falling into the wrong hands. Accordingly, his
assets were hidden in an unbelievably complex array of companies and trusts
which criss-crossed the globe from Liberia to the British Virgin Islands.
Among those who might be able to shed light on the singer's financial
affairs are: Andrew Young, a Sydney barrister struck off for not paying tax
for 20 years; Tony Alford, a Gold Coast accountant recently held by a judge
of the Queensland Supreme Court to be "a witness of little credit"; Gordon
Fisher, a Monaco-based tax adviser whose activities were investigated during
the Costigan royal commission; Andrew Paul, a Hong Kong accountant and
executor of Hutchence's will; and Colin Diamond, a mysterious Australian
lawyer who lives in the luxury Ascott Metropolis hotel in Auckland.
The Herald has obtained correspondence from Gordon Fisher, the man who
instigated Hutchence's complex schemes before a falling out with the singer
and the rest of the band over royalty payments.
Two years after Hutchence's death, Fisher wrote to the Hong Kong law firm
handling Hutchence's estate explaining Hutchence's business affairs. While
the ultimate holding company for Hutchence's assets, Fisher wrote, was the
Vocals Trust, Hutchence was not the ultimate beneficiary of this trust in
order to protect his assets from claims by third parties.
"In other words," wrote Fisher, "the Vocals Trust was an asset protection
trust. As the deceased observed at the time, and subsequently, he wished to
secure himself against what he called a) his "thieving relatives" b) his
"girlfriends" and c) in the event he married, his wife/ies [sic] ."
He also said Hutchence was well aware of the risks in structuring his
affairs in this way, and that he had to place his trust in those who had
ultimate control over his assets.
Perhaps not realising the irony of his words, Fisher continued: "The
deceased was a very worldly man and was acutely aware of his potential
exposure to financial abuse by others."
Hutchence was found dead in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Double Bay on November
22, 1997. A coroner found his death was suicide.
The year before he died, the 37-year-old star had made a will in which
Amnesty International and Greenpeace were each to receive $US250,000.
His only child, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily, was to receive the remaining
half of his estate, with the rest being split equally between his partner,
Paula Yates, his mother, father, brother and sister.
Greenpeace has confirmed it never received the money, nor did Amnesty. The
Hutchence family did not receive anything, while it is understood Yates, who
died in September 2000, obtained an interest-free loan for £100,000 from a
Liberian company that controlled Hutchence's royalty payments. It is not
known whether Tiger Lily has been receiving any money.
So if the beneficiaries named in Hutchence's will came away empty-handed,
where has the money gone?
Those currently involved in Hutchence's trusts include Colin Diamond and his
business partner, the Gold Coast accountant and racing car enthusiast Tony
Alford. Helping them is Gordon Fisher.
As well as controlling some of the Hutchence trusts, Diamond was an executor
of the will but subsequently resigned to avoid suggestions of conflict of
interest.
The connections between the various advisers to Hutchence go back a long
way. Diamond and Fisher came to notice during the Costigan royal
commission's inquiries into the bottom-of-the-harbour tax minimisation
schemes. No charges were recommended against the pair.
According to a secret volume of the royal commission, Fisher had a business
relationship with the late Brian Ray, who subsequently faced a long trial
for tax fraud but was acquitted.
In the 1980s, Diamond, Fisher and Andrew Paul had set up business in Hong
Kong as international lawyers and accountants. A decade later, the trio had
come to the notice of the Australian Federal Police, who were investigating
a complicated tax scheme in which a government agency lost $19 million and
the ANZ bank $3 million.
While the police recommended Fisher be charged, the Commonwealth Department
of Public Prosecutions declined because the case was too complex to run.
Diamond, frequently described as "elusive" in the press, has described
himself as "a barrister practising in international law". But searches of
the jurisdictions in which Diamond claims to practise - Hong Kong,
Queensland and New Zealand - failed to find anyone of that name holding a
current practising certificate.
Alford and Diamond, who have been business partners for years, are involved
in a Queensland registered company, Elusive Enterprises.
Paul resigned as a signatory to the trusts after Hutchence's death but
remains the executor of his will, which was drawn up by Young. Paul has
indicated that Gordon Fisher is once again helping with Hutchence's affairs.
Another of Hutchence's advisers, Young, was struck off as a barrister in
2003 after the NSW Court of Appeal held he was not a fit and proper person.
Young was bankrupted after failing to pay his tax for 20 years.
In 1998, Young and Diamond were interviewed by the now defunct music
magazine axs.
Reporter: "You've copped a bit of a hiding in the press as some sort of
financial Svengali to Michael, with suggestions that, with regards to his
estate, all is not as it should be. You've refused to speak to the media
before this, so let me ask you: Where's the money?"
Diamond: "None of your business. That's the point; it's private. Don't you
guys get it? It's private."
Young was quoted saying: "From my discussions with Michael, his finances
were structured precisely according to his wishes. I understand the money is
exactly where it is supposed to be."
Wherever it is "supposed to be", it is certainly not in the hands of the
beneficiaries named in his will.
Hutchence's family recalls his excitement when he bought a house on a huge
block of land in La Spezia Court on the Gold Coast's Isle of Capri in 1995.
Not only had $1 million bought the house, but the sellers had included their
Bentley in the deal.
Imagine the family's surprise when it later received a letter from Tony
Alford, saying: "To the best of the writer's knowledge, the late Michael
Hutchence was not involved directly or indirectly with the purchase of the
subject property and can confirm that no part of the purchase was funded by
him."
A bowling alley in Labrador, also on the Gold Coast, which the family
thought was owned by Hutchence, was in fact owned by a company called
Nexcess, the directors of which were Alford and Diamond.
Documents obtained from Australian Securities and Investments Commission by
the Herald show that not long after Hutchence's death, Pokfield, the same
Liberian-registered company that had lent Paula Yates money, agreed to lend
Nexcess millions of dollars.
Also absent from the Hutchence estate was a development site in Southport
that changed hands last month for more than $8 million. Bought for $1.3
million in 1991, the site was owned by a British-registered company
Nextcircle, which was in turn owned by two companies connected with Paul and
Diamond.
The French villa at which Hutchence hosted his sister Tina's wedding also
turned out not to be his. Instead, it was controlled by a British company
called Leaguework, which was connected to Gordon Fisher's Monaco-based
business partner Norman Leighton.
And while the executor of the estate recorded the sale of a Harley-Davidson
for just $2000, the Sydney hotelier Kim Maloney bought Hutchence's
custom-made Harley at auction in 2002 for $61,600.
The legal action the Hutchence family took against Paul, Alford, Diamond and
others in the Queensland Supreme Court in 1999 was eventually settled out of
court.
It is understood the amount the family received was not enough to cover its
$500,000 in court costs.
In the end, Hutchence's mother said that what she received from her son's
estate was "absolutely nothing".
Correcting herself, she added: "I got a couple of small bowls, some awards,
and a big poster of Brigitte Bardot in And God Created Woman."

Shooting stars
March 25, 2005
No longer do celebrities lavish empty praise alone on their peers. Now they
demand blood, writes Samantha Selinger-Morris.
From Brigitte Bardot's endless yapping about animal rights to George
Clooney's campaign against the paparazzi, the portrait of the celebrity as
champion whinger is a familiar one. But there's a new trend in celebrity
squawking: stars are now ganging up on each other.
With the sort of malice rarely seen outside divorce proceedings, actors,
filmmakers and comics have been dissing each other on the basis of
everything from talent (or lack of it) to sense of humour, appearance - even
their pashing skills.
What's more, there are now video games that enable ordinary people to take
part. Celebrity Deathmatch, a Playstation 2 spin-off of the MTV claymation
television show that pitted pairs such as Mariah Carey and Jim Carrey
against each other in a boxing ring, has been on the market for a while.
And in December, according to the website GameStats.com, we'll get another
one - Pop Scars. The invention of the Korn frontman Jonathan Davis, it will
feature rock and pop stars, including Mary J. Blige and Limp Bizkit, beating
the daylights of each other.
Last year alone, the Australian director Bruce Beresford laid into homegrown
actress Toni Collette in The Bulletin, labelling her a "ham", and Hugh Grant
insulted Julia Roberts's big mouth.
The actress Kerry Armstrong said Kylie Minogue couldn't sing and Nicole
Kidman couldn't act, while the US star Mark Ruffalo said that Naomi Watts,
his co-star in We Don't Live Here Anymore, was "classy trailer trash".
The trend hit a new low on Oscars night last month when the host, Chris
Rock, insulted Jude Law for being ubiquitous (in front of a billion
viewers), saying: "You want Tom Cruise and all you could get is Jude Law!
Who is Jude Law and why has he been in every film I have seen in the last
four years?"
With so much cattiness, you could be forgiven for thinking Whiskas had
replaced Atkins as the latest celebrity diet. What, exactly, is going on?
Terrie Waddell, a media lecturer at Melbourne's La Trobe University who
specialises in the study of celebrity, says this verbal star-on-star action
is a reflection of the incredibly low self-esteem that is rampant.
"Bitching off about someone else is about scape-goating," Waddell says.
"It's about trying to bring someone down to make yourself look better."
While this isn't surprising - an insecure actor is about as rare as a
sighting of Anna Nicole Smith's cleavage - the extreme level of
mean-spiritedness now prevalent in celebrity sledging is. First, stars such
as Ruffalo are breaking a traditional, unwritten code that celebrities don't
"insult people within their own clique or within their own film", Waddell
says. "There's usually a very protective family-member mentality about
that."
And Rock's insults, Waddell says, break an implicit comedian-audience
contract that allows comics to insult people as long as they're funny.
Oscars host Billy Crystal is an example of a star who takes jibes at fellow
stars and gets it right, she says. "He creates a good-spirited banter with
them."
Rock's insults, by contrast, were repetitious and had a hidden agenda. "You
can slag off someone once and it's kind of funny, you do it twice and it can
be less funny, but three times and it's mean-spirited," Waddell says. "Do it
even more and you know that someone's got an axe to grind. And he definitely
had an axe to grind."
So what has brought about this new level of meanness? Blame the reality-TV
phenomenon, which has made it normal to pit people against each other in a
publicly humiliating way. "Reality TV has kind of opened up a kind of
it's-OK-to-scapegoat culture," Waddell says.
There can be no doubt the trend is growing. But Waddell doubts that the
public will ever truly accept star-on-star sledging. "I really don't think
people would accept that as normal behaviour. I don't think we want to see
too much about what's under their persona. We pay them to be 'other'."
But we'll be watching the sale figures for Pop Scars, just in case.

Nicole creates a catwalk stampede
14:26pm 8th October 2004
Chaos erupted on the Paris catwalk as Hollywood star Nicole Kidman arrived
to launch her promotional campaign for Chanel's legendary No 5 perfume,
setting off a paparazzi stampede.
Kidman has reunited with "Moulin Rouge" director Baz Luhrmann to shoot a
two-minute film in which she plays an actress who flees photographers at a
movie premiere and ends up romancing a handsome stranger, played by
Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro.
Chanel is hoping the advertising blitz will help it win the battle for the
all-important Christmas perfume market.
The fashion house's designer Karl Lagerfeld whipped up a red-carpeted runway
for Friday's show to mimic the campaign, and life promptly imitated art.
Pushing and shoving
A swarm of photographers pushed and shoved each other to get the "money
shot" - Kidman wearing a slim black trousersuit with her blonde hair pinned
up in curls. Unlike her screen alter-ego, she basked in the attention.
"I thought he made it really fun and vibrant," Kidman told well-wishers
backstage after the show. With Luhrmann at her side, the Oscar-winning
actress could just as easily have been attending the Cannes film festival.
Her appearance was the highlight of a week short on front-row stars, and it
took 20 security guards to get the snappers to disperse.
The celebrity worship continued on the runway, where models preened like
film stars in the glare of the flashbulbs.
Opening the show were the women who originally coined the term 'supermodel'
in the 1990s - Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, Nadja
Auermann and Kristen McMenamy, wearing glamorous gowns that were perfect for
the Oscars.
A black velvet dress featured a plunging back set off with a diamond pendant
spelling out the number five. The perfume, with its distinctive square
bottle and stopper, reached mythical status when Marilyn Monroe announced it
was all she wore in bed.
Modern screen goddesses will find plenty to wear in the spotlight, such as a
white sleeveless dress with a filigree knit train or a burnished gold tunic
with matching floorlength skirt.
A model in a black-and-white striped short-sleeved sweater and leather
trousers was a dead ringer for Brigitte Bardot in her St Tropez heyday -
down to the backcombed blonde ponytail.
Sudanese model Alek Wek summed up Chanel's minimalist chic in a black
swimsuit worn with the rows of pearls favoured by founder Gabrielle "Coco"
Chanel.
"I think the show today said that we really have a culture that's hungry for
glamour, particularly hungry for authentic glamour," said Ingrid Sischy,
editor of Interview, the magazine created by Andy Warhol that launched the
celebrity culture.
"Glamour doesn't just come when you put on a nice dress and some dripping
diamonds, I think it really comes from selfhood and someone who stands for
things," Sischy said. "When you're in the face of the real thing, you see
it, people go wild."

Stars grin and bare much more
27nov04
TODAY'S celebrities flash 59 per cent of their body on the red carpet, a new
study has found.
Researchers have scanned through the years to see how much nudity has been
on show over the decades.
In the '90s, when Liz Hurley upped the ante in a safety-pin Versace creation
at the opening of Four Weddings And A Funeral, celebrities revealed an
average 39 per cent of skin.
Since then, stars such as British TV presenter and model Kelly Brook have
taken flashing the flesh to new heights.
In 2000, Brook shocked onlookers at the premiere of gangster movie Snatch by
wearing a Julien Macdonald two-piece, consisting of little more than
knickers and a backless, sideless dress.
Now experts have calculated the average percentage of nudity on show in
every decade since the 1950s, by selecting 10 iconic photographs from each
period.
They put the images together on a body template to calculate just how much
went uncovered.
For '50s stars such as Ava Gardner glamour was all the rage.
Researchers for the Odeon survey calculated that about 20 per cent of flesh
was on show and it was mostly the cleavage and upper arms.
Sophia Loren and Brigitte Bardot may have been '60s sexbombs, but the red
carpet look was modest and demure, according to researchers.
Screen legends tended to don full-length formal gowns, uncovering just 9 per
cent on the red carpet.
Stars such as Faye Dunaway and Carrie Fisher covered up in the '70s, with an
average 7 per cent on show, but in the '80s the figure crept up to 13 per
cent. PA

- This blond siren trumpeted one of the first blasts of the sexual revolution by baring her beauteous body in then-husband Roger Vadim's ... And God Created Woman (1956). She came to personify a kind of "French naughtiness" and frank sexuality to more straitlaced-and censorshipbound-Americans. She worked with Jean-Luc Godard, most memorably as the female lead in his international coproduction Contempt (1963), in which her character went by Bardot's own real name, Camille. By the 1960s she was able to poke fun at her own sexy image, teamed with French beauty Jeanne Moreau in Louis Malle's lighthearted Viva Maria! (1965), and playing herself, the object of young Billy Mumy's affection in the Hollywood concoction Dear Brigitte (1965). Bardot retired from films in 1974 and has become a champion of animal rights; every couple of years or so she makes news with some kind of bizarre action or pronouncement, usually related to her pet cause. Her son Nicholas Charrier is also an actor.
