I think the main point is not that the seals are killed... its the inhumane way in which they are treated. And babys? fawk.

-------------------------------being fickle because this thread is well derailed and yea i may be a little searching but i'm interested in the obsession of the spectacle and the ethical foundations of peoples opinions in relation to nature/environment issues. And all that stuff about whether man should control nature or if they are obliged to because ecological balances have been tipped so far off kilter already etc etc
and basically about perceptions of mans position within/without nature and the types of events that brings their opinions to focus. I remember reading a paper a few years back about the "disaster catalyst" and how only large scale events (like mass culls, global warming etc) can make most people sit up to an issue. and so the original question was to understand the scenario if the cull didn't take place. what would the rebound effect be on the eco-system etc etc yawn

I totally disagree with Seal Culling but would also like to raise healthy debate about other animals:
why do you think some of us as humans care about the seals, and not the way we deal with animals like chickens?
scenes from "Baraka" come to mind.
Is it just because we eat them?

well said lowimpakt
i was making a point about ethics and human consumption.
but your point about eco balance is relatively good

Fawn,
There was news coverage all over the world for those protests. I'd say they were very successful.

People are criticing the Canadian Governement because they're amoung the most vocal when another country does something equally atrocious.

fawn thats one of thing i say.
people get motivated by popular thing or something that motivates them at that moment but never follow through after words.
most of us are like that.
they feel that they did something good and go back to their SUV and drive off.
