WTF, are you people really that blind? This is not about food!!! It's about a fashion coat and needlessly torturing animals to get it. Jeremy Falcon
I think it's about both food and fur actually. However, IIRC, the choice of killing method is because it's easier to harvest the fur. Less damage to the fur this way. The sight of that little fellow who sprawled in his own geyser of blood made me feel sick. Just because some rich bitch wanted a spiffy new coat, and a "hunter" not having enough brains to devise a gentler method of killing the seal. :(

I think you mean, you hate the seal hunt
I hate hunt in general. I think hunters (even sport hunters) deserve to get killed by their own rifles. Why the hell you should like hunt? :~

We are destroying our planet. We are killing animals in such a brutal way. We are always at war with other humang beings. What's the worst thing? Please don't answer. It's only a matter of point of view. And "local" needs. ___________________________________ Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us. My Blog [ITA]
I think that hunting should be on equal terms. Mano a moose-o. Fist vs horns. :)

Both you and Jeremy are correct. Fine if you want to harvest the skin of seals - that's no different from getting meat from cows. It is rather cold blooded to kill the seals like that. Did you see that poor seal that sprawled for quite some time? If that didn't bother you, I'm afraid to ask what does...

I don't quite understand why some things bother me more than others. Seeing someone with a broken arm gives me the chills like few other things. But regardless, i don't like killing animals, and i didn't enjoy watching that clip. I'm bothered by seeing the rabbits that get hit by cars around here, i'm bothered by the sensation of a mouse skull crushing under my boot as i end the misery begun by a trap, i'm bothered by the sounds and smell of chickens as they're killed and cleaned, i'm bothered by those soft eyes in a deer carcase waiting to be dressed. Heck, i'm bothered by a lot of things. Some of them i accept are necessary, and others i avoid or decry. I guess what brought me to reply to this thread was all the shocked and horrified replies. I've never lived anywhere near seals, i know nothing about how they life or why they're killed, and from the replies here it doesn't seem like many others do either. There was nothing in that video explaining what was being done, why, or why it should/shouldn't be done. Just gruesome, shocking images of death. Well, there's death all around us. Why is this so much more deserving of anger?

Yup, I have to agree. I just don't see how people with any amount of decency can stomach that. Jeremy Falcon

It'd be much more fun to make it equal by giving the moose a rifle. Montreal great Guy Lafleur, quoted by CBC on being mugged while vacationing recently in Buenos Aires: "I didn't have any time to react before I got a sucker-punch in the eye. It was like one of the players from the Bruins."

Because it's a messy method. Heck, rats are given a less painful death than seals!

It's not the why I'm questioning. It's the how.

If you want it equal, you'll also need to plant a tree on the guy`s head

They hunt the seals and beat them to death, because it is a sport there, and they use the furs to make coats.
I gather it is also subsidised so stop the subsidies. The tigress is here :-D

You really should learn how to conduct an argument intelligently. How old are you, 14?
