Who said the seals were not dead? Did they check vitals? They could be moving after they are dead. You know like a limb does even after it is detatched from the body. The government should not have to watch every single kill to make sure its done right. They don't have to watch every deer killed. If there is any error in the seal hunt its the hunters fault not the government. I think people are getting so upset because its a seal and not another type of animal.

I found the "some people like to cause conflict, they feed on it" comment hurtful and unapropreat. I know you were talking about me. I don't need more people PMing me with harsh comments and threats. But I will not back away from my point of view. I thought the point of a public board was to share different points of view. I love hearing others point of views, it makes me think more about my opinion. But it seams no one else is reseptive to my opinion. Instead they suggest I am cruel, have no heart, or that I like to cause conficts. The cruel comments sting but they dont phase me I know I am not. I would take a bullet to the chest to protect my pets, or an endangered species. I know you wonder why I dont protect seals or other game, it is because I accept that humans are hunters we kill our food, and as long as we attempt to kill it as quickly as possible I am ok with it. Not all kills are going to be quick, people make mistakes and I accept that to. Even when we use drugs to kill animals quickly it sometimes does not work, my own dog needed 3 shots of euthanasia before she passed. It was her heart the failed her, not her spirit. I have almost had enough with this board, all I get is mean PM's and mean threads. Even when others agree with me, they are not treated as coldly. It seems almost like a private club of friends, and they don't want to make room for anyone else. It makes me seem very unwelcome if it continues I will just leave. I already belong to a board that accepts me and they are always nice, even when they don't agree with me. They don't have many people but thats ok.
