Princes Charles and William in plea to end illegal wildlife trade

[Blackleaf]

There's at least a ton of difference.

So what difference is there then? What difference is there between shooting lions for their fur in Africa and clubbing seals to death for their fur in Canada?


There is no difference between what Canadians do to their seals to what European trophy-hunters did to lions, tigers and elephants in Africa.

hhmmm That coming from a country that used to send the "great white hunters" to Africa to slaughter those nasty beasts for their tusks and umbrella stands, and only a handful of years ago dropped fox-hunting? ****in hilarious.

They're growing up.

Are you suggesting people aren't important mammals worthy of protection?

Worthy or not we dont seem to need it judging by our population.

And what are you doing about the illegal wildlife trade?



... and Canada...




How long ago was it that countries were involved in the slave trade?

How long ago was it that countries hanged, drew and quartered people, roasting their testicles in front of their eyes?

How long ago was it that children were hanged for stealing hats?

Using your bizarre logic, Britain, and all the other countries that were involved in those things, shouldn't have campaigned to have them banned. William Wilberforce should not have spoken out against ending the slave trade. That is what YOU believe.

As for clubbing baby seals to death, the British, in the 21st Century, have moved on from that and don't do that sort of thing. It is the Canadians who still persist in performing such barbaric acts today.

Jo Jo the psychic you aren't - and please quit with the red herrings. Practice as you preach

I have no problem with foxhunting, though, because foxes are vermin and a problem for farmers.

Seals eat cod. They're a problem for fisheries.

And Canadians slaughter baby seals, so stop pointing the fingers at other people.

When was the last time you saw a Canadian slaughter a baby seal?

No. I can't see any difference. It's still slaughtering innocent wild animals.

As are seals to commercial fishermen.

What's on their heads?

 

[L Gilbert]

Like what, considering that Canada is so active in ending evil in the world?

We support a couple groups active against poaching and the like. The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust: Antipoaching. As well as Save Tigers - Wildlife Conservation Society
Our kids are both members of this group: Do Something | Largest organization for teens and social cause

What do you do?

At least not that you with your limited imagination can think of. Try a little harder.

Actually that's a bad example; Eag. Canada and the USA also use bearskin. Bearskin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I like bear skin. Especially on women.

True ... but the mock indignation isn't being flung from a Canadian or US source - and they (like the seal hunt with which he derailed his thread) aren't illegal.

Got a point there.
