The Hunt is Coming

. And those seals you kill that you say is a necessity for the cod stocks, why are they babies with nice pelt? HMMM let me guess. Let me see if you can guess. Pelt +free money=dead seal.

You People meaning everyone who allows this barbaric hunt and ignores the truth of it. You people meaning I use to take up for the fact you just didn't have the whole truth about the hunt, now that you do, I can see why, they call you barbaric and lazy and money hungry evil.

Does it not bother you we yell at the world and then we view this ugly truth?

Driven by monetary gain you fail to step away from yourselves long enough to openly view both sides. (No one here can say I haven't) But I can tell you haven't.

The trouble with your world is not that you know so little, it is that the little you do know is just plain wrong. Fact! for ever little right reason you come up with for culling seal in this manner, there are 100 wrong ones. When something is more wrong than right, I suppose in your eyes it is ok to continue. Driven by monetary gain you fail to step away from yourselves long enough to openly view both sides. (No one here can say I haven't) But I can tell you haven't. Natural disasters could strike and cull that many without your help, you just do not know and if it does we are looking at extinction do to severe dramatical changes in the marine eco system, when giving something besides money a reason for hunting or not here, or mass culling, if we are honest we will see it is just plain ignorant and is an exact repeat of the past destroying many species.
There are nmany documented cases of seals washing ashore after mass culls and deaths caused by natural disasters. Fact 325,000 is not the true number many drown after being shot or not completely killed, we see the footage, so this hunt and the number of seals killed are not correct. In fact video footage says one third went unreported or unrecovered. I am so emazed at people who honestly say this is ok and put seal in a catagory with fish all the time. Has it registered to anyone here that they are warm-blooded intelligent animals with mentality's of five year olds? Meaning they can learn things and do remember. So...

Have you noticed? There are absolutely dozens of other topics on these forums.

The seal hunt has been going on in some fashion for going on four hundred years. Long before Newfoundland joined confederation. Who are we to tell them to stop. If the hunt bruises your tender sensitivities, don't look at it. You can't get much more remote that an ice floe in Labrador. It costs Protesters a lot of money to just get there. Don't feel sorry for them though, the protesters are making tens of millions more than the sealers.

So this is no different than china and their cats and dogs, they also have a mentality of a five year old.

By the way culling means ridding of weaker species not babies....does that mean people should cull the Newfoundler's sealers because their actions are clearly from the stone ages and they are clearly a threat to our marine population? Hmmmmm...............I didn't think so

I am hypocritical if I eat meat and an extremist if I don't, fact Canada will continue to kill seal as long as the world lets them, the hunt has been going on since the 1700's which is longer than 400 years, the inuits longer and they do not kill 1 million seal in three years.

"Mr. Speaker, I would like to see the 6 million seals, or whatever number is out there, killed and sold, or destroyed and burned. I do not care what happens to them... the more they kill the better I will love it."

John Efford, Canadian Minister of Natural Resources

Fact when man eliminates all prdators to obtain the prey for himself or for economic increase we rid our world of all natural predators leaving weak, sickly prey. Natures natural cull of the weaker species is destroyed. And this doesn't take lies it is common sense.

The 2010 Canadian Olympic symbol which was unveiled April 25th 2005 arrived interestingly on the same day that 1,700 infant Harp Seals washed up on the shores of Newfoundland (collateral damage) only days after the largest mass killing of marine mammals in the history of the world.

Well if the activists make so much money which is a lie, Watson, whether you like him or not proved his point and proved where his money went, on the other hand what about the poloticians accusing him, that have since been fired for such things as misappropriating funds along with other charges? hmmm...

I have a recipe that calls for twelve seals, Sassylassie!

And an additional twelve seals to make a pretty tablecloth to eat it over!

Actually I remember hearing about that too, but it was because of the ice melting before it should've. When seals are born they spend a certain amount of time on the ice to get fat before they're ready to go in the water because they'll freeze to death, they are born without the proper insulation. So that one you can chalk up to mother nature, or Global warming. Whatever seems easier to blame.

sorry no link. I remember it from TV.
