adding that Jean expressed dismay that people would call the traditional hunting practices inhumane.
After eating the heart during a stop in Nunavut’s Rankin Inlet, Jean wiped her blood-soaked fingers with a tissue.

See - we’re not only nice up here, we ARE cool! Conservative Government, Pro-Israel (stood up to the UN dolts), and now this...she’s not the Amazing Sarah (nowhere near), but hey, the shift is fantastic!

This must be some kind of joke or satire. What sane civilized person would eat a raw, bloody seal heart?
