Can't blame us

[Gonz]

CAPS-AUX-MEULES, Quebec Buoyed by new markets in Russia and Poland, and by changing environmental calculations, Canada has lifted the quota for baby seal hunting to a rate unheard of in a half-century.

Animal rights advocates, horrified by the clubbing of infant harp seals, swayed public opinion against the hunt two decades ago. Environmentalists joined the campaign, fearing the species was being depleted. World sales collapsed. Even Canada reacted with revulsion and began stiffening regulations.

But now, a recovering market has turned into a quiet boom.

blame us for what now? The economies there? Hell if it is based on killing animals or people or anything violating any kind of rights then I dont see why they should prosper.

Eat meat? Wear Leather?

I don't particularly like it, but I recognize that I don't have a moral leg to stand on.

Awwwww. Why do you hate it? Coz they're so cute and cuddly-wuddly? Gimme a fucking break. If the population supports increases in the quote, then hunt the damn things. You don't like it, don't support it with your dollars.

Well put.

It's the manner of slaughter in this case specifically which I find reprehensible.

Don't hate it, just don't particularly like it. I don't like to hunt either. I stalk my meat in the meat section in the wilds of Kroger. If it was a choice between hunting and not eating however, I do know how.

Les, have you considered why they club them, as opposed to any other method? Think about it.


BTW, I club every fish I keep. Right on the noggin, with a stick. Does that make me a bad person?

Nope. I'm sure it's preferable to scaling them while still alive, but slowly suffocating. At least, that's the theory I operate under when I clean fish.
