Having kids gives you a new perspective on a lot of things -- like clubbing seals!
If you're joking about child abuse, there's nothing funny about an innocent child being beaten. Have you thought about what a child experiences living in a violent household?
It was just a joke. Also clubbing seals is a problem and you should think about  that too..
I think you know more than you are leading onto when you make such a statement. Is it just for a reaction? I suggest you seek out some sort of film that you can watch to see how clubbing seals and rape is actually done to harm those people and animals. That will make you open your eyes a bit more.
