I am going to take a baseball bat and slam it in to that Golden Retriver again and again and again as it screams and begs for it's life and the life of it's puppies but hey that's ok it's only culling. Anyone have a problem with that? It's only culling and we have too many dogs and cats anyway. Those people out there just making a living. Maybe we can hire them to come over here and empty or shelters. Why not? They can beat all the dogs and cats to death. Lets support their families their kids. Those men gotta work.
But you say these are dogs and cats, we love them, they love us they are loyal. Well too damn bad. Those poor defenseless seals have as many joys, and hopes, and want of a meal, fresh water, care and love of their young as any dog or cat or rabbit. The
question is NOT how much they love us, or how cuddley and cute they are, or how they greet us by the door. None of that matters. Seals and dogs have the same amount of pain receptors. Hit a lab with a bat, hit a seal with a bat, same screams of agony, same pleading eyes, same blood splatters and tissue squirting out. NO DIFFERENCE. So if beating a seal is ok and we can call it culling then beating a dog to death when it is pregnant and you don't want the pups is ok as well.
It is the same line of reasoning, is'nt it? All living things deserve
respect & kindness.

These men are not in a life threatning situation.The people on shore know
exactly where they are & how they are doing. Sure they are incovenienced, & I don't feel bad about that at all.
