"Capt.Mooron" wrote in message news:1LmWf.15838$K11.8652@clgrps12... You really should try to view more recent footage... instead of 20 year old videos. Oh that's right... those guys that aren't enforcing the guidelines on the sealers .....but are enforcing the guidelines on the activists are to blame. You do realize no valuable footage has been taken for many years since it is illegal to approach closer than 500 meters of a sealer while he is working over a defenceless whitecoat and terrorizing it's family. We refer to that action as "Layin' a beatin' down".... DFO & CCG smackin' those nosey beatniks with hefty fines. Helicopter pilots can't even fly over a sealer at work without getting fined.... yup we protect our endangered species.... Newfie Sealers!! How nice of your government. Actually there have been no less than 6 recent films made, mostly from a distance or from helicopters flying parallel to but not over the hunt zone. Greenpeace used to spray the pups with permanent green dye, fire cannons to scare the seals away, and other such measures until the Canadian gummint decided to play nasty. Unlike Greenpeace, I've never had any problem with the seal hunt--only its methods. Humans have a responsibility to kill animals humanely. There is nothing humane about the seal hunts. Of course you realize that had your government not limited the number of pups taken each year, the harp seal would likely be extinct by now. Nothing quite like an industry that runs itself out of business through its own sheer stupidity. Max |
