PRO-SEAL HUNT
I am really sick of these stupid people telling Canada to stop the seal hunt without having any clue WHY we have it. Also their argument about percentages of GDP that the seal hunting industry is responsible for is only trying to make themselves sound educated about life in Newfoundland/Labrador. This is like me trying to describe life in Iraq.
1) Newfoundland/Labrador’s GDP is what it is because of huge oil reserves off the coast and finally having wells to get it to the surface.
2) For over 10 years MOST people in Newfoundland have had to rely on some form of social assistance if not totally on hand outs since the Cod fishery had to be closed due to the over eating of all fish by seals
3) Clubbing seals is illegal; and as for the white coat cuties, you cannot touch them or you will go to jail (take note Mr. McCarthy coming to Canada and ignoring our environmental laws).
4) So IF there are real videos from THIS year showing the atrocities you claim, show them to the fisheries and wildlife people and have these criminals arrested.
5) Why are there no arrests? Because they are not clubbing the animals, only humanely shooting them. FYI How do you think they kill cows? They shoot a bolt into it’s head. Chicken are hung by their ankles and their heads cut off, and if you want kosher or halal, then they are dangled with a hook through their aquiles tendon and have their throats slit open in front of all the other animals where they twitch and swing for a long, long time until they bleed out. Still eat meat? Hypocrite!
6) We can either have Canadian people starve, or the taxpayers can go broke funding an entire province out of work, or we can kill some seals that eat TONNES of fish every day, and try and re-open our decimated fish industry. Which would you prefer? And what eats the most fish? the big fat ugly ones. Hell the white pups eat virtually nothing so killing them is a waste of a bullet.
7) All these videos that you are finding online are from people like PETA and Paul McCarthy. They are people who believe that eating milk, cheese, eggs; any animal flesh etc. is just as evil as the seal hunt. So you if want to agree with them - that seals should not be shot, then kiss cheese burgers good bye. Also, steaks, ribs, pastas, and a million other things that most people don’t hesitate to eat but these wackos would have you jailed for promoting animal cruelty.
8) Finally before you read all PETA/McCarthy's crap, go to the Government of Canada and Government of Newfound/Labrador sites and see what they have to say on the topic. If they are lying there are legal recourses to bring them to their knees. However if PETA is full of it, well, you just have to file it under "T" for tough shit.
