Iggy Pop & Ke$ha bash seal clubbing as 'sick' and 'barbaric' in PETA ads

Iggy Pop likes nightclubbing ? but not seal clubbing.

The 63-year-old punk star has teamed with rocker Ke$ha and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to protest the killing of Canadian baby harp seals for their fur, according to Usmagazine.com.

"Clubbing baby seals is sick and gives Canada a black eye," said Pop. "Don't let the greed of a few tarnish the image of the whole country."

Ke$ha called the killing of the harp seals "barbaric and archaic" and said that her fans are part of a movement of young people who abhor the mistreatment of animals.

"I was lucky enough to get to watch a bunch of wild seals recently and truly fell in love with these amazing creatures," Ke$ha said in a statement. "Canada gets to be host to harp seals each year during their migration to the ice to give birth which is beautiful and peaceful. But because the babies' fur is so soft, there are people who club and brutally kill these young animals."

The campaign aims to combat the government's attempts to market baby seal fur internationally.
