After Ellen DeGeneres' Oscars selfie raised $1.5 million for an
anti-seal hunt organization, Canada's Inuit have started a new viral
phenomenon -- sealfies.
Seal hunt proponents tweeted pictures of themselves decked out in sealskin clothes at DeGeneres Thursday.
"I am an Inuit seal meat eater, and my fur is ethical," wrote Alethea
Arnaquq-Baril, bundled in a sealskin coat, pants and boots. She also
wrote a letter to DeGeneres and posted it online.
Samsung vowed to donate $1 for every retweet of DeGeneres'
celebrity-packed Oscars selfie to a charity of her choice. She raised
$1.5 million for the Humane Society of the United States, which
campaigns annually against Canada's seal hunt.
