STOP!!! The Bloody Seal Massacre

There should be nothing contentious about Canada’s annual seal massacre or slaughter, of baby harp seals annually, it’s wrong! simple as that!

You’ll never hear me call it a ‘hunt’ because that’s not what it is.

True hunters outwit, outseek, look for, find, have respect for their prey and only take what they need to survive etc.

The thugs brutes and just plain sons a that Canadian sealers AKA (baby seal murderers) are; are not hunters! they do not hunt! They simply walk up to the seal nursery and bash in the egg shell thin skull of every completely and utterly defenseless baby seal that’s there, and cruelly and horrifically destroy the newly born harp seals and their magical home which is absolute heaven on earth.

Canadian sealers have admitted doing this for fun

“we all go out for the love of it, rather then for the money”

And themselves have said that horrific and unforgivable acts have occurred out there on ice floes which are routinely recorded and witnessed by observers every year it continues.

Contrary to popular belief, not every person in Newfoundland supports this and many are sympathetic towards the seals, as this is something no thinking compassionate person if they witnessed it in person with their own two eyes could ever tolerate.

Like I’ve said before these Canadian fishermen certainly don’t need it to survive and the DFO lies and goes to great lengths to protect an annual horrific, mad, sensless, wasteful, cruel, disgusting, shameful, unnecessary massacre of baby seals. Which exists in the modern era out of greed tradition and Newfoundland politics.

Being heartbroken certainly isn’t enough; we know what goes on! so let’s STOP!!! this bloody seal massacre once and for all.

Boycott Canadian Seafood! take away the fisherman’s #1 source of income which outweighs by billions the blood money which is made from the heinous and evil act that is sealing and make them give up this annual horrific unnecessary slaughter of hundreds of thousands of baby seals for fur coats.

Economic language is the only language the DFO (Destruction of Fisheries and Oceans) and Canadian government understands.

Just because something’s been going on a long time doesn’t make it right or justifiable in any way.

We can end this! spread the word of the boycott, don’t patronize Red (Dead Lobster) which is the biggest purchaser of Canadian seafood in North America and has thus far refused to join in the international boycott of Canadian seafood products; which was implemented to protest and stop Canada’s ultimate shame and its international disgrace it’s so selfishly and arrogantly likes to call it it’s ‘seal hunt’.

STOP THE BLOODY SEAL MASSACRE NOW!!!

Bring me a seal, I’ll club it!

This is a video response to Alishia Fox’s response http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhLrCn_R2zM&feature=player_embedded to Sara Green’s cbc story in support of the Newfoundland seal hunt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6JdSqO1ku0
I don’t care if animals are cute, I care how they taste. Taste drives many things in our global consumption. This video is not only for Alishia, but to any who oppose the seal hunt like the EU who have started a ban on such products. Are you willing to risk the lives of humans AND seals over it’s cuteness? That’s really what’s at stake. If the atlantic cod is driven to extinction the seals will follow. What you are suggesting may have global implications on the food chain.

_________________________________________

Update: Seals eat more than cod fish and the numbers I included were based on a seals consumption of a long list of creatures that I also would enjoy on my plate. So I stand by the numbers in my video, but the number of what is mis-stated.

I would still club a seal, but I would eat it. The only reason I would club a young seal is due to a lack of freezer space.

I do not support the practice of skinning the animal just for fur. I try to avoid eating seafood generally because of the situation of overfishing, but I do soooo love the taste of it. So it’s more of a now and again treat for me vs. a staple of my diet.
In the current situation, I would eat seal meat if it was offered but I currently live in BC and it’s just not readily available, but finding a market for the meat would be encouraging as it would reduce the needless waste. Who knows, if it became all the rage, they would rely less on other seafood products and maybe strike a more balanced situation.
Probably what has me off so much in the past are activists that radically skew the realities. I know everyone in opposition is not that way but the tactics sometimes border on ridiculous. Seal meat is good for you, try it sometimes, many of us have been indoctrinated that it’s disgusting. Our own Governor General of Canada got such flack for eating seal with the Inuit. From a vegetarian perspective, fine I get it. But if you’re still an omnivore, I say if you want to help out, try some seal meat sometime. Invoking such a harsh stigma against it as a food source doesn’t help.

As far as populations go I find the seal’s regrowth rate quite rapid, and that concerns me. As they are quite gluttonous creatures.

Thanks to Alishia’s response to me which I also recommend you watch, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EQaHAFIhA0&feature=response_watch she introduced an interesting dynamic to me that I had not considered of the seal possibly eating more cod predators. I am not qualified to make that assessment for or against on this point, so I won’t. Especially when it comes to the variety of species it eats. That certainly does put more into question.
