Yes, I admit it. This is kind of an unpleasant image. It's not, however, a celebration of seal hunting. While it was never mailed, it is addressed to "Right Honorable Pierre Elliot Trudeau Prime Minister of Canada House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario Canada KIA OA2." And the caption, "A Canadian sealer, with club poised, prepares to bludgeon the 10-day old baby harp seal at his feet. This brutal episode was repeated more than 180,000 times last year." Clearly this postcard was meant to protest the annual harp seal hunt.
