NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Say it isn't true!
Well, if it is true, then I'm putting in an order for Seal overcoats, Seal throw rugs, shoes, gloves and belts!
Encourage your friends to do the same! We ALL have to do our part to keep the price of Sardines low!

Meanwhile, the club-wielding fishermenHey, Luc, seals aren't fish. And
