On this issue, while it pains me to side with someone who has drawn so much controversy over her comments, I must admit that I sort of agree with the Honourable Céline Hervieux-Payette, P.C., the Senator for Québec and the Senatorial Division of Bedford in relation to this matter.

The cull of the seals in this situation is necessary, albeit unfortunate.

Sir Paul has Richard Dean Anderson and Martin Sheen to help him this time.

I'm not wild about the seal hunt but that hunt was going on more than three hundred years befor Newfoundland joined Canada. The harp seals have adjusted to the hunt. If we stop it right now, the seal population, that has tripled since the seventies,(now around 7 million) will soar out of control. I don't know what that will do to the already depleted fish stocks.

Paul McCartney called on MacGyver? Well problem solved as long as MacGyver brings his trusty Swizz Army pocket knife and a roll of Duct Tape.

Japanese fisherman hunt sharks, they catch them, cut off their fins, and as a consequence of that, they drown. I don't hear anybody complaining about that. Maybe because the shark isn't as cute.

Your right that is just as cruel, the same goes for Dolphins who get caught in Fishing Nets.

Sharks are cool. 8)

Japan has a hell of a lot more money than Newfoundland and PEI do. PETA knows that if they screwing around with Japan, or any American industries, they're going to get shut down quick. Therefore, they go for ...
1) A small population, so they can more easily get the worlds majority on their side
2)A poor area, so they can overcome it with finances (Seriously, IFAW hauls in 77 million a year by themselves)
3) A North American area populated by White Christians, so they can't be considered racists or imperialists.

Danny Williams is a scrapper, and he will not bow down to veggins. If any thing he will enflame them.
