I am absolutely ashamed of our CDN Government that is continuing to allow this bloodbath of these defenseless animals!! Steven Harper should be on one of these hunt boats himself, to see the inhunmane slaughter and vicious cruelty that is instilled on the seals! Sign all the peitions you can folks and promote the ban of CDN seafood..we MUST end this violence!

Response to Violet: How do you start a petition against Canadian sea food? I don’t even know anyone who eats seal! I’ll sign one if it comes around, but I don’t think the market’s based in the U.S. Or if it is, it’s for pelts and other products, not food. Either way, I fully agree with you, but the U.S. can’t police other countries if the market isn’t here, and it would take a whole lot of people signing petitions if the market is here.

HAHA Four of these losers have already died this year. KARMA will find you! HAHAHAHAHA Big men with small minds.

Anyone notice the hakapik has a spike on one end and a blunt hammer on the other?

Which end is the sealer using to stun the seal?
The the spiked end goes into the skull causing almost immediate death.

Also note that hardly anyone uses that anymore since it’s easier to use a rifle.

Note the seal is not the cute little fluffy white one?
It’s an adult.

What’s shocking to me are the comments, from supposed enlightened environmentalists, that applaud or call for the deaths of humans involved in the hunt.

Their families should live in abject poverty?
Perhaps they should freeze to death because they can’t afford to pay their bills?
Do you think the poor bastards that participate in the hunt because it’s fun, or because it helps to pay the bills - how many jobs are available in the Atlantic Provinces during the winter?

What are you doing to help generate jobs & income in these regions?

Critique a situation when you know more about it.
Leave the knee-jerk reactions to the under-educated here.
Yup, real humane.

Some actual researched information & publicly available information.

Read before you decide to donate to these groups.
They want your money more than they want to heal the world.

You’d be better off not driving your car so much than giving these folks your cash.

There are some issues with your statements. First off, if there are no jobs, why live there? If suddenly I could not provide for my family any longer and bashing in human heads was a sole source of revenue, would it justify it any more? No. Money does not make an immoral act morally correct.

Second, these people who died made a choice. They chose to float around the ice floes with guns and sharp objects in winter, up North. If they die doing that, its still sad, but they CHOSE to do that. These seals have no choice and are barbarically killed anyway.

It is sad that these people are blinded to the horrible suffering they inflict on helpless beings. I personally would not want one of these guys watching my kid or playing with my dog. If someone is able to senselessly cause this pain and death, who knows how stable they are? Plus, to use money as a means of justification? CRAZY!

Bottom line - I think its horrible the loss of life (both human and non human). However, as times dictate, economies change based on what a society deems acceptable. I bet slave trading was a lucrative business. Yet, it does not happen any more. People woke up.

I really hope these sealers and their families find a more humane way to live their lives.

I don’t know enough about seal hunting to say it’s purpose is a bad one, but in terms of MORALITY, I personally would not want to know someone who does this or anything related to meat production (slaughterhouse work).

Any human who can kill animals ‘for a living’ just isn’t ‘normal’ by the definition I hold. I know it’s total hippocracy since I eat meat, but that’s another story.

i cannot believe what people do to the poor seals. ya…so what if it is their living…they can find another one!!! people should not support seal hunting and i am very ashamed of who ever does this. seals are very intelligent creatures obviously smarter than the people who kill them for blood.

Oh my gosh this is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen and those people are heartless. These animals are defenseless it’s just so sad we have to help these animals!

What I meant was:

These animals are defenseless! it’s just so sad! We have to help these animals!

Mr.Orion probably has not money to pay bils.:) Maybe he has only a short prosperity in his life. Help him!
