Morrissey legt einmal mehr dar, warum er nicht in Kanada spielen wird u. damit auch eine Einladung zu Buffy Sainte-Marie’s fünfzigjährigen Bühnenjubiläum ausschlagen muß.
Andere Länder kommen nur marginal besser weg…
The horror of the Canadian seal-kill is untranslatable, and although I fully realize that highly concentrated evil exists in other countries – Japan’s dolphin slaughter, Iceland’s newly-revived whaling, the cat-skinning trade in Switzerland, and China with just about every injustice imaginable – there is something especially menacing about Canada’s seal-kill.
Loyola Sullivan (Canada’s Ambassador for Fisheries Conservation) is a man of glacial coldness who claims that the seal-kill is „humane“ – a view he might alter if his own skull were cracked open with a spiked axe.
The fact that the seal-kill provides a livelihood for fishermen is an insultingly dim excuse for it to take place – after all, the German gas chambers of World War 2 also provided work for someone.
