McCartney to protest seal-hunting

Paul McCartney and his wife Heather Mills-McCartney will travel to the ice floes off the Canadian Maritimes this week to observe seal pups before the country’s annual hunt opens, the Humane Society of the US said yesterday.

The former Beatle and his wife, both long-time animal-rights activists, will head out to the frigid ice floes in the Gulf of St. Lawrence tomorrow and Friday in their bid to prompt Ottawa to end the annual hunt of seals.
