Fisheries minister says Canada backs seal hunt despite market concerns

Biodiversity must be something like "sustainable development",it sounds important ,cannot be argued against,but in reality it doesn't exist.
I personally think the seal hunt is disgusting. However, the Europeans can bleep them selves in regards to this. England, the country where hunting fox's is a sport has hardly any credibility on this topic. Along with the euro countries which only recently quit hunting whales or still do so.
same as usual, talk bollocks and act inappropriately.
except the queen. No-one knows what she does :0)

the queen sits around drinking earl grey and watching porn most days I imagine.
There are too many seals. Hunt the seals and save the fish.
I will pass on both. I have always wanted to slap someone with a trout though...
I am mixed here.
I believe when we kill animals it should me for the main purpose of meat.
Now I don't got a problem when we kill a cow for beef and then use its skin for leather too.
It puts the animal to full use.
But killing an animal for the main purpose of its skin is WRONG, especially when we can get clothing from so many other sources.
So I guess I will be an animal-rights activist on this one, and we can have Heather Mills and Pamela Lee Anderson scream their mouths off at us again, and we can have all the debates on the US airwaves again. Newfoundland premiere on CNN Headline News last year...

The seal meet can be used as animal food. There is no reason to waste it. BTW anyone know where I can get a seal burger in Calgary. I want to support the east coast fishers with my diet. Burgers for sustainability. Lol.
That's a lot of emotion tamrin, but not alot of reality.
If we all lived by emotion alone, the world would be one fuc*ed up place.
Damn world opinion, why is it Canadians scorn world opinion and dawn the flag of soveriergnty when it suits them, only to wail about world opinion when it suits them better?
Have you ever looked at the baby Harpee posters? They're cuter then a bugs ass. That gets all the tearjerked emotional types to throw logic and reason out the window.
rotflmffao!!!
Excuse me???!!! I am not morally ambivalant. I understand hunting, tradition and the neccessity behind the hunt. I think those that berate the hunters, its defenders and use emotion and name calling to get their point across, could really use some morals lessons themselves.
Hear hear!!!
Jebus H fishy!!! ROTFLMFFAO!!!
There is no sacrifice tamrin, they are not being hunted into extiction.
Poke surfs and peons.
Done it!!! hahaha. It's not as funny as you might think though.
Bear, the mass culling of the seal makes us increasingly a world pariah. I agree with the world. The government says it's for jobs and to meet the needs of the fur industry and the quack pecker treatment companies in the Orient. Hunting and culling are completely different things. The seal hunt is a stark reminder that despite our protestations of being a just and humane society we're still just a bunch of backwoods whackers and hillbillies.
The seal hunt goes back 10,000 years, all the way back to Europe and the Baltic Sea. It's said to be about 4,000 years old here in North America(though I suspect it to be older then that, that number is based on archeological finds alone).
Whether or not there is a new moniker on the hunt is irrelavent. It is a time honoured tradition, that serves an even greater purpose then mere food and clothing stuffs now.
If you stand against the hunt, you stand against First Nations traditions and the traditions of Eastern Canadians and Canada.
Why are people so nit picky about world opinion? Why is the worlds opinion so important one minute and not the next? This is a soveriegn nation, we are quite capable of determining our own needs and necessaties, without the globes influences.
I fail to see the "inhumanity" in hunting, when the demise of the hunted is quick and the waste minimal.
That wasn't a cull, that was a slaughter.
Perpetrated by Non natives and wayward Natives.
There were no regulations, no laws, just pure sport and no thought of the future.
The seal hunt is a totally regulated event and the future is a susinct part of the regulations.
Bear, why would you support Cull Culture? Run amok, it destituted the Great Plains tribes as white rifraff organized the killing of buffalo for sport. Various white trash shot at herds indiscriminately from trains, and the railway and settlement builders hired gangs of frontier thugs to continue the slaughter. I know you're semantically sensitive on this one. Culls are different, you say.
And then Cull Culture had a rich precedent as eastern tribes sold out their people and traditions and warred for fur territory across the Hudson Basin. Culling whatever creature brought them points for trade. Another cull that became a slaughter.
At what point does one become the other? At what point does the practice of either diminish us as human beings?

You have to have a grasp on the times.
The lawlessness and the lack of foresight in times past does not remove accountablity, but to apply antiquated practice to a contemporary legally sanctioned and regulated event is erroneus at best.
The cull of seals is highly regulated and not only a necessaty, but a traditional source of food and profit. It's a hunt with purpose, if you want to label it a cull, then so beit, but it is a traditional hunt and it is without question, not an afront to the sensiblities of those that understand tradition and the hunt itself.
