Kill the baby seals!

I wonder how many people here would keep their lunch down if they were even near a pile of dead or skinned animals?

What a bunch!

I was hoping would notice the general light tone of sarcasm in my writing, as I suggested the whole thing was ridiculous.

I stand by my argument that the Inuit can kill whatever they want, if they give up their guns.

Well I've gone hunting a few times and gut fish with bare hands(as in no rubber glove nonsense) so I'm not with the others.

On that note, I don't see much problem with this cause AFAIK they're regular source of food is in scarce supply and there's already plenty of them out there, as in even after the 300000 are gone they're still going to be a long ways away from being on the endagerd species list. But that's all AFAIK

All I can say is BOO Canada!

Is the ammunition too expensive for at least a semi-humane death?

It is an outrage.

 

[Zeekater]

look, i would't care so much if it were a) done humanly b) for food

which it both aint, not at all

Why wear fur to begin with? It is a fashion statement, because in this day and age, humanity has many different materials that could be made into coats.

 

[Pontiuth Pilate]

The whole point of fur or skin is that it's rare and usually smuggled. Hence, a status symbol Clubbing seals to death so that swanky types can show off to each other in their Manhattan penthouses. Win-win situation, no?

Frankly, I'd be far more comfortable if we were clubbing the customers to death, as opposed to the seals. There's no danger of rich idiots ever becoming an endangered species after all.

 

[Double Barrel]

yeah, a status symbol.

I prefer leather anyway. And we can eat the cows. Thats why they're made from steak!

 

[Desmond Hawkins]

Americans demand their fur products. We supply.

Crumpets and afternoon tea, if it is indeed the lunch of MrPresident we speak of!

OK, I did notice not everyone was on an anti-seal pogrom.

I just find the culling disgraceful, because it goes way beyond survival hunting, into sheer greedy overkill.

I guess the invented god (of Inuits) said it was OK to massacre baby creatures.

It's could be just a matter of focus. Humans are carnivores and predators and killing has been a part of their survival and proliferation.

In objective terms clubbing may be on par with the killing by electrocution of lambs and calves in present day abattoirs. If the media wanted to they could also cause the same amount of furore as the current seal cull by showing the cute lambs and the actual killing process and the carcasses after.

Of course I'm not in principle in favour of killing animals just to humour the vanity of wealthy people.

As much as I do play up to that stereotype, old boy, there are something called "farms" round this way and on these "farms" there are things called "animals" and these "animals" occasionally get "killed" for "food".

Actually we're omnivores.

Gosh!
MrPresident switches to his true patronising American personality!

Well - There are also people who are 'rich' and 'vain', who demand the 'needless culling' of other 'animals'.
All to satisfy a 'dubious' and 'pointless' market, that could be catered for by 'artificial' furs...

 

[polymath]

I'm a foodivore, but that doesn't include baby seals.

Leave the damn seals alone, it's too many humans, that's the problem!

You don't have to be American to be patronising, but it sure does help.

You don't have to be American to be troling either - as you have duly proven...

Nope they dont eat them , just let the bodies rot,

Its a sick world full of sick people.

Hmmm.....seal. yum.

Producing anything with fur should just be outlawed. I hope Canada will get the international condemnation it deserves for this.
