Well, look on the bright side: At least the Polar Bears won't starve..............

Dwindling sea ice

Does anybody other than whiny eco-freaks use the word "dwindling"?

[rktman]

Uh, it’s summer. Ice sometimes melts in the summer. Besides, how much time do these seals spend playin’ the harp anyway? We talking harmonicas? Looks like a case for “Club Seal”.

[Slyfox]

And why can’t those cameramen swoop down and save them?

[b4its2late]

Probably total BS. Scare tactics again.

Well little baby harp seals...you should have been paying attention during swimming class — Circle of life...

[Venturer]

Minorities and poor are hurt first.

A fact about seals apparently unknown to this writer. They’re aquatic mammals and superb swimmers.

Grey Seal
Songwriters: JOHN, ELTON / TAUPIN, BERNIE

Why’s it never light on my lawn
Why does it rain and never say good-day to the new-born
On the big screen they showed us the sun
But not as bright in life as the real one
It’s never quite the same as the real one

And tell me grey seal
How does it feel
To be so wise
To see through eyes
That only see what’s real
Tell me grey seal

I never learned why meteors were formed
I only farmed in schools that were so warn and torn
If anyone can cry then so can I
I read books and draw life from the eye
All my life is drawings from the eye

Your mission bells were wrought by ancient men
The roots were formed by twisted roots
Your roots were twisted then
I was re-born before all life could die
The Phoenix bird will leave this world to fly
If the Phoenix bird can fly then so can I

**low genetic diversity**

Diversity?

the World Wildlife Federation (WWF) just jizzed their proverbial shorts. The little harp seals are going to be Polar Bear food! YAY! /s

Makes this easier too.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

And why can’t those cameramen swoop down and save them?

The only goal of the media is advancing the liberal agenda. Leaving the suddenly-can't-swim seals to die is better for advancing the agenda.

Harp seals spend relatively little time on land and prefer to swim ...

Opening line on National Geographic bio of the Harp Seal...

At least they won’t be clubbed (or as it is known in the hood “the knockout game”)

Great new term: low genetic diversity. I assume that is what is happening in the ghetto...... (just read the article on the loose dog who fathered 22 children to 14 women in Nashville - beginning when he was 15. He, of course, does NOT support any of them - we do.)
