Canadian hunters started shooting and clubbing harp seal pups
By Paul Darrow
OFF CANADA'S EAST COAST (Reuters) - Canadian hunters started shooting and clubbing harp seal pups on Saturday at the start of an annual hunt that is the focus of a tech-savvy protest by animal rights groups. This year, 325,000 young seals will be killed on the ice floes off the East Coast where the animals gather. Unusually warm weather means the floes are a fraction of their normal size and thickness, prompting hunters to kill the seals individually rather than clubbing them to death en masse as they cluster on the ice in pools of blood. "It's slow going. The ice is not full of seals all over the place," said Roger Simon of Canada's federal fisheries ministry, which oversees the hunt. The crack of rifle fire could be heard continually as hunters in boats shot seals as they lay on tiny floes and then dashed over to the bodies in hopes of retrieving them before they slipped off the ice and sank. Once the animals are killed, they are skinned and taken into the hunters' boats. The pelt is taken to make coats while the rest of the carcass is usually left behind. At one point a hunter, frustrated at the activists' presence, picked up the bloody carcass of a skinned seal and threw it at a small inflatable craft full of protesters and journalists. It hit the boat and sank. One sealing boat steamed straight toward the journalists' craft and turned at the last moment, sending a wave crashing over the observers. Canada says the hunt gives the local economy a crucial boost and helps keep a harp seal population of almost six million animals in check. The Humane Society of the United States has chartered a 110-foot (30-meter) boat to follow the hunt and is putting film and videos of the killings on its Web site. "It's disgusting when you stand out here and look at what the seals have been through already. They're clinging on for life as it is, thanks to the effects of global warming," said the society's Rebecca Aldworth. "I'm really appalled the Canadian government continues to allow this slaughter. There's no need for anyone to be out here killing seals," she told Reuters from the hunting zone. CANADA SAYS KILLINGS ARE HUMANE Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Canada was behaving responsibly and would enforce rules ensuring that the seals were killed humanely. "Unfortunately here we're to some degree the victim of a bit of an international propaganda campaign," he said on Friday. Celebrities such as former French film star Brigitte Bardot and ex-Beatle Paul McCartney called on Ottawa this week to stop the hunt. Aldworth repeated calls for an international boycott of Canadian seafood to protest what she said was "incredible cruelty at the hunt, including dragging conscious seals across the ice with boathooks, shooting seals and leaving them to suffer in agony and skinning seals alive." The first part of the hunt, which takes place near the Magdalen Islands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, usually takes about 10 to 12 days to complete. This year's quotes is just over 90,000 seals. The second and larger stage, off the coast of Newfoundland, starts on April 4. |

It's funny how the right to life is different for the 'cute' animals. I've yet to see a celebrity lie down in protest of the slaughter of rats...

They've all gone mad, but what can you expect when Americans have taken over Hockey and the only truly Canadian sport left is curling?

If seals had the look of a lobster, nobody would care.

Seals get good publicity because they are "cute". They have faces that apparently communicate innocence and softness to some people. That makes it less popular than shooting wild boar or killing off overpopulations of deer or bears, example.
http://www.dfg.ca.gov/hunting/bear/mgmtharv.html The population is managed and has still been allowed to grow : "A 2004 harp seal population survey found the harp seal population to be stable and healthy at approximately 5.8 million animals, nearly triple what it was in the 1970s." History and information: http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/seal-phoque...faits_tl_e.htm Most people couldn't stand to see how cattle are turned into steaks either... but that is life. Alex |

Those damn Canadians are bloodthirsty bastards. I'll bet it's them who start the next big war. Truth be told it was the Canadians who told Bush if he didn't attack Iraq that he was a pussy. They goaded him into it and now they sit on the sidelines and laugh.

I don't have a problem with them hunting the seals ... I have a HUGE problem with the way they do it.
I'd love to go up there with a bat and hit some hunters like I'm swingin for the fences. Fuckin assholes. Why can't they just shoot them and be done, why the torture.

Why don't they just shot them between the eyes instead of clubbing them?

I hardly see how hitting them over the head is any less "humane" than shooting them. They're dead either way, and shooting isn't even an instant death. You whack an animal over the head with a heavy club and its going to die pretty quick. You shoot an animal, who knows how long it could take to die. Shooting a deer and chasing it until it drops and dies is very common, it isn't an instant death. Seals are cute. Thats the only reason anyone cares. Truth is, the hunt is needed to control the population. Oh my God, rationale, no way!

The Chinese inhumanely slaughter dogs for fur and dog meat every day of the week.
Dogs are chained to fences with razor sharp wires then stabbed in the groin and beat with baseball bats to break their bones to make them suffer as much pain as possible to boost the andrenalin which they believe makes the dog meat tender. The dogs are then skinned while still alive.

Boo Fucking Hoo!!!
Why don't you tree huggers bitch at mother nature for drowning over 300,000 baby seals this past season? I'm sure that death was pretty humane! Cows are sacred animals in Islam but we line them up in rows and slice their throats. They die a slow painful death but you still eat Porterhouse and Hamburgers. Is it because a cow isn't cute? Oh snap...what about Veil? Baby cows are so adorably cute but you don't think about that when you order veil parmessan, do you? I dated a girl once that said she wouldn't eat any animal that was "cute"...I dumped her ass faster than yesterday's Taco Bell. So only cute animals deserve protection? I don't see any hippie groups out there protecting the three-toed sloth or the rats they have in New Orleans running rampant. Deer are pretty cute but I'll shoot one in the stomach instead of the heart just so I can follow its blood trail before I have to field dress it. It's a lot cleaner for me and so what if the deer suffers. It will still taste just as good. |

Yes, I've eaten many a lobster in my day. That is not the point. The point is - baby seal pups are slaughtered for their pelt only so the shallow-minded fashion people can be in style and satisfy their vanity. The meat is completely wasted and left on the ice floes to rot. As for lobsters, I'm somewhat curious how you determined they're boiled in "excruciating pain". From what I've read over the years, its been documented that their brains are too small to register pain. |

If you go into a grocery store, you can find almost every part of the cow for sale. Including the bain. So why the waste with the seals. There has to be some commercial value to the meat.

Lobster is a delicacy, it's not required by your body to function properly. While you may like exquisite cuisine, some like wearing seal coats. It's not in your power to tell them what to do since you're just being a hypocrite yourself. Btw, none of the seal meat is being wasted in mother nature. It's not a synthetic material so it gets processed throughout the years. As for lobsters and pain, that was an example since I'm not familiar with how they function. In any way, they are living creatures that we needlessly kill for luxury.

The "vanity" part is what gets hunters out there hunting the seal. Without that, the government would need to pay people to do the killing, which actually isn't that uncommon to begin with. Cities nationwide do this all the time with everything from deer to birds. Furthermore, can seal meat even be eaten? Is it edible? Is it good? If the answer is "yes" to any of these questions, then sure, maybe the hunters should start using the meat. Even if they don't, that meat will be eaten by creatures of the sea. Again, circle of life. Not all animals are worth eating, by the way. I don't see anybody eating rats. I've heard raccoons make for horrible meat and people all over country hunt raccoons every year specifically for the pelt. The coyotes eat the meat.
