Canada, Where’s The Seal Meat
Our government has decided to protect the seal hunt and has gone as far as allowing dog and cat fur to be imported into this country.
Our Governor General decided to have a taste of seal meat while on tour in the north and Prime Minister Harper has allegedly tasted seal meat behind closed doors away from the cameras.
In Toronto I walked into several different grocery stores and some specialty stores and no one has seal meat.
According to the Sealers Association of Canada
Seal meat is rich in protein and iron. A rich dark meat, it is an excellent alternative to the red meats and has been enjoyed for centuries.
The three Omegas are EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid), DPA (Docosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid). Seal oil, now available in capsule form, is a prime source of Omega 3 fatty acids. Signs of Omega 3 fatty acid deficiencies are poor growth and poor eyesight in children, and skin problems in adults. Research also indicates that Omega 3 plays an important role in brain and vision development in infants. Research in Canada, Japan, and Denmark show that seal oil is easily absorbed in the body, and indications are that Omega 3 fatty acids can reduce the risk of heart disease by keeping arteries clear and lowering cholesterol.
The nutritional value of seal meat make it an ideal meal for today’s health conscious consumer, a fact not lost with those who have traditionally consumed seal meat as a regular dietary item. Seal meat is very low in fat and a very good source of many essential dietary nutrients including; protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, and vitamin B12. It is a very healthy choice of red meat, given the fact that it is raised in the wild and not artificially enhanced and force-grown as with many of our beef, pork and poultry products currently available.
While this country protects the seal hunt for some reason it is not making seal meat available to the general population like they are available in other sealing countries.
Maybe they should look into the viability of seal farms.
They do it for fish they can do it for seals.
If they had enough seal farms then they don’t have to have the seal hunts.
