I can't say I'm Sorry

Canada insists that the cull, which is smaller than last year's, is necessary to keep seal numbers down.


I think if it is an active culling based on population and feeding availability by the numbers, lowering disease and starvation for the others, then they are doing the seals a service. Much like annual deer hunting, alligator culls, moose hunting etc.

Hope they are rescued soon and no one is seriously injured.

Hmmmmmmm.....so who culled these animals before humans came along ???
I'll go with Lizbud on this one, because I believe that the whole process is based on obtaining skins for foreign consumer use.....and that has got to be worth lot's of bucks to the country involved.
I hope to, that no-one is hurt....but if some are....they only have themselves to blame.

I can't say that I feel sorry for them. I've watched videos of the clubbings and it's sickening, no reason for this at all except the $$$$$$$$$. anyone that can look into those big pleading eyes and club the baby to death deserves to have something like this happen to wake them up.

I am going to say the culling would not be necessary except for the fact that we enjoy their natural food supply as much as they do. Due to our desires and overfishing their isn't enough to feed our greed and to feed them. By culling them it lessens a slow death from starvation while we feast on what is rightfully theirs.

Ahhhhhhh....ok Doc. While countries battle on with wheat wars, and the unsold surplus get dumped in the ocean.....you're going to tell me you prefer to eat fish.....yeah ??? And not twenty miles from where I live, they had a potato glut on last year....entire fields of potatoes were left to rot in the sun because nobody wanted them. Hmmmmm......so the masses would prefer to have a choice in a restaurant and forget about the slaughter....

That would be pretty much it Wom, I didn't say I like the idea, just that we created the issue, along with many others.
