Canada’s governor general eats raw seal heart: EU says too bizarre to acknowledge

Canada’s governor general Michaelle Jean (below, right), the representative of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II – ‘hellooooo little people ‘ — ate a slaughtered seal’s raw heart today in a show of support to the country’s seal hunters.

Hundreds of Inuit at a community festival gathered Monday as Jean knelt above a pair of seal carcasses and used a traditional ulu blade to slice the meat off the skin. After cutting through the flesh, Jean turned to the woman beside her and asked: "Could I try the heart?"

‘It’s like sushi’

A spokeswoman for EU Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas said, "No comment; it’s too bizarre to acknowledge.”
