She was on a trip to show support for Canada’s Inuit seal hunters in light of the EU having stupidly banned imports of seal products earlier this month, and being in Rome, she did as the Romans do. I don’t see what the problem is; this is no more or less unethical than sushi, which is exactly what she said it tasted like. Frankly, if I’m going to chow down on viscera, I’d rather have seal heart than haggis.
