As for the Bible and "gun" comment... God has given us responsibility to manage His gift. I doubt there is anything else I can say that would make you understand how I feel. Perhaps look at it this way? Humans are animals, right? We are also at the top of the food chain. So look at it as if we are the top predator. Do you hold the same disdain for say, Eagles? They kill "innocent" prey all the time.



So, just so I am clear... If I was unconscious in a burning building, next to a hamster in its cage and you could only save one of us, you would save the hamster?

Finally... M'am, there is nothing you could say or do that would get me "hot", in any way. I feel sorry for you, not angry at you.
Get you hot that is my job

Wombat..... I am sure there are many of the extremes in the seal hunt....but I'm also sure that for the most part it is JUST A JOB. they are hired and paid to provide a service.... they are doing so. It may not be the best job out there and you may not like it but it sure puts food on the table.

Newfoundland is like a culture of it's own. They are unlike any group of people I have ever met..... for the most part they would give you the shirt off their back if you needed it. They live a simple life in a simple province.... some of the friendliest (albeit I could be wrong since I can't ever understand a word Charlie says but it sounds nice lol) most helpful people I have known have been from newfoundland. The Seal hunt is like part of their culture. So to them this is just a way of life and a way to put food on the table.... not some joy ride to just go out and club things and then have a big celebration in honor of their deaths.
