oh, save it.
people like you would rather see the people of those communities starve than a seal pup harmed.
Sure, a little compassion is what's in order, but where does it stop? If you ban the culls, then what?
People have no jobs, nowhere to go and are basically welfare cases - who cares! the seals are free! yay!Banning the hunt would kill the people of the region, their heritage, and send the message that they and their ancestors are barbarians.
Get in touch with reality.
And don't even get me started on those fucking celebrities... right cunts, they are. McCartney and his peg-leg wife can cry all they want and then throw in the so-called 'tip' to the government saying *you can compensate the people of the region for lost revenue* -- fuck.... Sir Paul's got enough money to buy the whole region outright. Until he offers up every one of his last pennies, has he? Until he does, I'll think he's as serious as a midget in a height competition.
***************
the only thing i would suggest to do, is to return to the days where there were no ice tankers, no huge nets, no gross disadvantages. make the hunt truly like it was many many years ago. I'd support that, because it honors the tradition of the hunt and would kill far fewer seals.but then again, you'd still have pamela anderson sipping starbucks in a bikini, saying *stop the torture* while going back to her cozy mansion.
shit. suffering her intelligence is torture enough, isn't it?
*****************
peace, love, end poverty, etc. like John Lennon said.Just don't offer up a penny of your own for it.

i wish people would get educated rather than jumping on the seal hunt bandwagon. seriously, just because celebs are telling you things, it doesn't mean they are correct or have all the facts.
Read, Research and make-up your own minds.please.

i am ok with inuit (sp?) and other natives hunting for seals and traditionally use the seals as food/clothing etc.etc.
but the seal culling as it is now, on a grand scale with helicopters and modern clubs, and the greed the slaughters seems to be having is completely rejectable. repulsive. terrible.
same goes for the hunt on elephants, tigers etc. it has been fucked up by our own capitalist aspirations. it has nothing to do with survival anymore. it has nothing to do with tradition anymore.
and that is what makes me seriously upset.

// yeah sure, i really let paris hilton dictate my opinions on things.

yes the seal cull is pretty gross, but i find all these "hunting game parks" all over the US (where you pay for a controlled kill) much more disturbing.

If you can afford a helicopter to go seal culling, you arent doing so bad.

seals?
are they like what my coat is made of?

I would like to see a non-biased scientific view on this. The animal rights point of view and Canadian gov view, are both shadey imo. I would have to look into it more before I could make a call.

i remember japan was under a lot of pressure for their whale hunting.

(Mar 25 06, 12:40)well let me be advocate of the devil here. besides politicians, there are not many people that have access to mass media like celebs do.
on the other hand i prefer journalists and scientists/researchers speak up to influence the masses..
