Perez Hilton must have taken his annual shower before posing for PETA’s latest “save the baby seals” ad campaign, since he almost looks like a human being for once. (But thank your lucky stars he didn’t go naked for it.)
The ad reads:
“Each year, tens of thousands of seals, many of whom are still babies, are massacred. It’s time to demand a permanent end to Canada’s cruel seal slaughter.”
Now, Perez loves Canada. Just in June, he posted this about a trip north:
Perez landed in Toronto this morning and we are sooooooo happy to be here!!!!
Canada truly has a very special place in our heart and our love and appreciation for this beautiful country and its beautiful people is genuine and profound.
This is going to be a ridiculously fun weekend!
Which is why we have to quibble with his stance here. Who exactly does he think is hunting seals? (Answer: the Inuit, who rely on harp seals for food, clothing, and trade.)
So while clubbing seals may not be his idea of a great Sunday afternoon, if he’s going to slobber all over Canada as the best place on earth, he has to respect the indigenous people’s right to their cultural traditions, eh?

He looks human? For once? One sec, I just saw a pig flying over the Sunsphere.
Lemme get this straight, he thinks you’re a monster for wearing fur and/or clubbing seals, but he’s a matyr for calling a fellow man a faggot (when he wanted to use the n-word) and calling a woman simply stating her beliefs “a dumb bitch” (again, he intended to call her the c-word.)
Meat = murder and humans = scum. Great message.
I don’t think Perez is there to protest the Inuit hunting seals. He probably does not know who the Inuit are and will likely refer to them as Eskimos before he leaves the country. Canada’s seal hunt is carried out by fishermen in their off season, mostly from the maritime provinces. When you hit the link there is a blurb stating Vladimir Putin condemns the seal hunt. Russia banned their own seal hunt but as of yet they have not followed the EU and banned the import of Canadian seal products into the country.
i thought it was illegal to use baby seal in ad campaigns to end seal slaughter? i’m i imagining that?
also, in response i think canada should have open season on perez.
If you have nothing else to do like me, just sit and stare at that picture of him. Doesn’t his face sorta remind you of this?

Don’t deny your primordial drives Perez! Go out and club something!
LOL. Every professional man and women in the Gay community have to be kicking themselves that let Perez Hilton step up to be their spokesperson.
Charicature of gay man with overtly feminine characteristics… check
Hysterically and irresponsibly derailed from job duties for personal reasons… check
History of writing bad checks on roommates account… check
His much bigger area of hypocrisy is supporting and actively campaigning for Barack Obama (I do not support Gay Marriage) over Hillary Clinton (I do support gay marriage).
What a Spaz. Been a long time since using this word.
Pasta – that gorilla picture is uncanny!
Told ya.
Save the Seals: Club Perez Hilton
I believe that was Will I Am’s approach Mister Snitch.
Does PeTA adopt all of the baby seals and then club them to death in the parking lot?
Oh dear. Hell must have frozen over. Perez and I support the same cause.
Armageddon is coming.
Let me clarify: I support ending the seal hunts, NOT NOT NOT NOT PETA!
Actually, I support ending PETA, but that’s another thread.
I’m convinced that Perez isn’t a gay man at all, but a front for the Westboro Baptist Church.
I think we all need to save the baby seals. As babies, they’re just too young to be out clubbing.
PErez reeks of hypocracy which is why I take this ad with a grain of salt. I am sure he will be whoring himself for another foundation as he does on his website all the time. This time for saving the Inuts. Just you wait. It is okay to call every person he does not agree with (Palin, Preegan, any Republican) horrible names but yet it is not okay to kill seals for food and clothing. Heck, have him come to Ohio. My husband loves hunting. We can have an open season on Perez.
I have got to start getting up earlier in the morning.
Crow Jane and 2keyboards are tied FTW!
And again I ask why was that …human? asked to be a judge for a beauty pagant?
Pasta, don’t malign gorillas like that! It’s an insult to gorillakind to be compared to that…um… thing.
Crow Jane – You may be on to something
I don’t know if I’d classify Perez as “human.” I think the word “creature” is more appropriate there.
Well I share the same sentiments as everyone else, but why is there a picture of a sea lion wearing a PETA t-shirt on this article?
Oh for f**k’s sake! Canada has not hunted baby seals since the 70s! This whole lie campaign just really gets my goat. The seals are hunted to prevent over-population, to save the fishing industry, and to feed people. Yes, people eat seal meat. … never had it myself but I’ve been told that seal flipper pie is quite tasty.
Sorry, this is one of my hot button topics. If you’re going to protest the hunt, then at least protest what’s actually going on instead of using images from a half-century ago.
@TheRose – Thanks for confiming that, I thought that the cull of baby seals had been outlawed, so what’s with the ‘fluffy seal’ imagery on the t-shirt?, cheap emotional tat.
I’m not big on hunting, but I appreciate that some people love it, and that it is done with strict limits and controls, which it seems to me that hinters tend to be respectful of. Culls are different, as far as I know, you don’t get yahoos jumping in the truck and fixin’ to shoot them some seals…culls are carried out to control populations and for clear and valid reasons. Here in the UK we have to carry out regular deer culls, and if you try to bring the whole ‘Bambi’ thing in it just shows that you really don’t understand the naure of wild populations.
Just when you thought Perez couldn’t get any more douchey. There probably should be a Perez cull…
EXACTLY. These are two separate issues, but I felt the same way when Michael Moore and most of H’wood was yarping about the U.S. “forcing” its young men and women to go to war. Because there hasn’t been a draft in what, thirty years? You’d think they could update their talking points just a wee bit, every now and then, what w/all that celebrity cash flying around.
Faaaaaabulith! My Ipecac of the Day subscription never misses a delivery.
while i am against the canada seal hunt, i think perez hilton is such a sell out douche. and is it just me or does he have the same look on his face in every picture i see of him??
Maybe Nancy Pelosi hooked him up.
HA! Crow Jane, did you see the article on “Big Hollywood” that made the (tongue-in-cheek, I believe) case for Michael Moore being a neocon double agent? I laughed so hard I sprained something.
I hadn’t, but, I checked it out. Too awesome.
I have a sudden desire to hunt seals.
If I recall correctly, the last time Hilton was in Toronto, he got punched in the face.
The Leafs may never win another game, but, when Perez Hilton was in Toronto, he got punched in the face.
Rent is way too expensive in Toronto, but, Perez Hilton got punched in the face here.
Sometimes, after a heavy rain, Lake Ontario stinks, but, man, Perez Hilton got punched in the face just a few blocks from the lake.
OK? So, hate Toronto all you want, but, etc., etc.
