Meh. You should see what happens to cute, fluffy bunnies when they get in the way of a haybine. :|

I hope so. Anyway, there are lots of ways to kill animals without make them suffer. For example the way that's used for cows (a nail in the skull -> istantaneous death). So, what is the seal's leather used for? Coats? :~ ___________________________________ Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us. My Blog [ITA]

Leather wraps for the handles of seal-beating clubs. :P

I think you mean, you hate the seal hunt. Guess what? Lots of other people do, too. But lots of other people also reap a benefit from it, so it is not going to go away, anytime soon. Yup, the pictures of blood spattered snow and animals can be pretty revolting. So don't friggen look at them, then. You get no sympathy from me on this one.

Intentional or not, there is lots of cruelty that goes on in this world. I think we'd be better off working on the human to human cruely part of life and fixing that before we start arguing over what human to animal cruelty is considered acceptable.

If they're going to hunt them, fine, but beating them almost to death, and then gutting them so they bleed out while they're still alive is just plain cruel. There's no cause to be an asshole when they're just laying there on the snow. I think somone needs to treat one of these "hunters" the same way... ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'. If you're not here to race, go the hell home - don't come here and grumble about going too fast.

They hunt the seals and beat them to death, because it is a sport there, and they use the furs to make coats.
its not a sport here you fuck

I don't know, as I haven't studied the subject much. But, I bet you there is a better way if they'd bother to find it.

They are poor fisherman with no other source of income. The population of seals is in the range of 5 million+ and threatens some of the fishery stocks as well.
That's not my point. The point was they are weak men to resort to such brutality. It's about having standards and some lines you don't cross just because you're poor. Jeremy Falcon
'The point was they are weak men to resort to such brutality' what the fuck are you talking about. you should learn to shut your mouth before you talk shit.

It's the annual seal harvest. We wouldn't be doing it if there wasn't an international demand for seal products. Personally, I am totally opposed to it. I think it's cruel and unnecessary. But somebody somewhere is creating a market for demand so it will continue until it is no longer profitable. The main market is for furs. Largest importers are Norway, Germany, Greenland, and China. Other importing countries include Finland, Denmark, France, Hong Kong, Greece, South Korea, and Russia. So you can see the problem in stopping it. Bash Canada, sure. The men doing it live in very poor northern communities. The hunt is a source of income to a depressed area. If it's going to stop, then international demand has to stop. The demand is purely vanity driven. BTW: It's not just Canada. Other nations include: Norway, Greenland, Russia and Namibia.

Sure it is. Oh, i know what you mean - i'm sure very few harvesters head out to the fields with the primary goal of mutilating fuzzy little rabbits and leaving their twisted, dying bodies to rot in the sun... But, as long as there's hay in the fields, there's gonna be rabbits, and no matter how much you regret it, a few are gonna die during harvest. You either harvest and kill rabbits, or you don't, and something else kills them. Or they live. Something like that. Sorry, not trying to be flip. But that's life, you know? Living things die. Sometimes it's the ugly, biting, disease-carrying things, and sometimes it's the cute fluffy things. I'm neither for nor against seal clubbing. I don't live there, i don't work there, i don't know what all goes into the decision someone has to make that leads them to go out and club seals. But i do know that most of us have made a decision at one point that has led, directly or indirectly, to the death of another living creature.

No it's not. That's called a consequence. There's a big difference between that and setting out in a pre-meditated fashion to torture an animal. It’s along the same lines as murder 1 and murder 2, as defined by the cops. Jeremy Falcon

Agreed 100%. Our food supply is dependant upon the deaths of other living beings. Period. Oh and lest anyone thinks I'm promoting vegatarianism, I'm not. Even vegans deprive food from other animals, just by consuming it. :) Chris Meech I am Canadian. [heard in a local bar] When I want privacy, I'll close the bathroom door.

I'm not a cop, and i believe their stated intention is to harvest the fur growing on those seals, not beat them to death for the fun of it. Do the consequences still matter, if you've already decided that the action is worthwhile?
