Catwalk sealskin
Averill Baker
The Advertiser
They are the rage in Europe, but the question is where do they get them?
We see them on television – white and blue sealskin coats – on the catwalks of Europe and the runways of New York.
They are on the news every night now – those fancy fashion models – wearing white and blue sealskin coats, slinking down the runways, one leg directly in front of the other, like a fox tracking a rabbit.
While they strut their time upon the stage, the news announcer in the background quotes the most recent aged celebrity who claims we Newfoundlanders are barbarians.
As we all know in this province, we are not allowed to sell the skin of a whitecoat or blueback seal. It is a criminal offence for our sealers to do that.
The rest of the story
Norways policy on sealing.
FFAW demands ban on protestors.
