I'll second that my friend.the "protesters" should also stop calling the east coasters trogs and making out like they're some kind of barbarian.

Then a new breed will pop up...
The save the veggies protestor.
Are you serious???8OAlready exist. they're called fruitarians, and they tend to get rickets a lot
Dear gawd no juan...
Then they will protest slaughter houses!!!
The truly vigilant protester, won't be happy until we are all eating tofu and lettuce.

It's a silly cycle of trying to force ones ideology on others.
Go on hate the acts, hatethe hunt, hate hunters, hate meat. I don't care, but don't force your ideology on me, I like meat, I like hunting. I'm not hogtying anti hunting protestors and dragging them out to hunting grounds, why should they be allowed to coerce anyone into ending long standing traditions.
It all seems fascist to me, lmao.
I would agree, the first time I put my hands into something other then fish guts, my stomach flopped.There is something about seeing a frightened steer go from a live animal to a headless, skinless, gutted corpse in about four minutes flat that makes you question you appetite for beefsteak ....at least for a while.....not permanently....I had steak last night.
So you feel that strongly about the issue that you would see sanctions visited upon our nation, that would hurt your fellow Canadian citizens and their families, their children?Guess the trogs and their barbarian cousins will be walking the floes soon. Convinced what they're doing is little different than chicken catchers at the local windowless barn. And killing by the hundreds of thousands living things barely a few weeks old to put a few ducats in their pouches. And full of rationalizations: we've always done it, it's no different than farmers you know and for goodness... they are competing with us for the cod left by the DFO!
Culling wild things who want nothing to do with us, who are not dependent on us, who don't require our shelter, food or helping hand.
In a nation that has blinkers a mile wide when it comes to environmental issues.
It is a national disgrace. And one, hopefully, a world, with a spine, will make us pay for.
Bingo! There comes a time...when you choose sides...and you recognize right from wrong.
And let it apply internationally.
I don't know, they should be though, whales are an endangered species and the uses that I know of for whale products are dated and easily reproduced sans whales involvement. Where as Seals are not endangered and posess fur and consumable meat.Why aren't the Japanese feeling the heat for the whale hunt?
I don't know why, perhaps it has something to with the fact that the UN sees them as a "developing Nation".Why aren't the Chinese feeling the heat for their global overfishing, their omnipresence in the trade in endangered species and pillaging of rainforests?
Again, I don't know, perhaps to stave off war or worse.Why aren't those who broke nuclear non-proliferation treaties in the past not held to the fire?
I think GW would rank higher on Canada's list of faux pas, then the Seal. This only further proves that the issue is more emotion then fact based.The seal hunt is Canada's environmental weak spot. Its credibility button. I want the international community to tweak both.
How many hundred thousand cattle and how many hundred thousand pigs are harvested just as messily, just as bloodily, except behind closed doors. How many lambs?Juan, what are you smoking? I can't eat meat because I oppose the sealhunt? What, pray tell, is the connection? I know no other activity in Canada that approximates what happens yearly on our east coast.
The commercial seal hunt has been going on for hundreds of years and the seal population has adjusted, even increased.The culling of hundreds of thousands of mammals, barely weaned, to meet the pocket money of a bunch of #*&@!.....The seal are not domesticated..
I wouln't hunt seals myself but I can't knock those who've made their living by it for over 300 years..a cull. A cheap, primitive nod to our past when attitudes foreign to the modern mind ruled our thinking

Juan, your thinking leads to gross oversimplifications. According to that train of thought if I support abortion I can' t kiss babies.
And I'd like to see a verification that the cull leads to increased seal numbers. That's like telling me if I spend like a sailor I'll have more in my account. Hey, works for the government!
Hopefully, common sense resides some place in this country. Some of us should plan to visit.
