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.

Yes-s-s-s-s-s.....


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.

Wahat part of 1973 to 2006 did you miss out on Max?????


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.

Whoa..... first you don't have any problems with the hunt... yet you want
it shut down! Next you claim the animals you have never personally witnessed
being killed inhumanly... are being killed and skinned alive
inhunanely??.... is this another one of your "I''ve been to an abatoire"
stories?
Follow that with you blaming the government and claiming seals as
endangered... which of course the census states they are thriving.... and
end it with dire forecasts of a global extinction... ya think you might be
prone to "sensationalism" by any chance?

Club a Seal... Save a Cod!
