did you go to the humane society's web site too? that is how i found out about the seal hunt. I signed the petition thing that they had.
I actually first found out about the hunt last year when I received the HSUS newsletter thing...cuz I signed up for their email listing. They also have the website www.protecttheseals.org. smile

I also found some footage of the seal hunt by HSUS: http://stream.luxmedia501.com/?file=realimpact/hsus/2006-seal-hunt/overview_2006.wmv&type=wmv

Obviously since it's from an animal-protecting organization, it could be biased. However the footage is so graphic and violent, so I still think that the slaughter should not go on or at least not so brutally.


That makes me want to cry.

It's about as necessary as Bull Fights. I don't care if it's Tradition or whatever. It's wrong and needs to end.

Well I don't know much about this seal hunt, but I will say if they are just hunting them for their own gain, then thats not right! To make it worse they are brutally killing them, there is no point to that at all!

Well I checked out the site, I don't agree with what they are doing. It's one thing to kill a bear and use it's skin for warmth like early man did, but doing it now for alittle extra in their pocket is kind of hmmm lets call it outragous! There is so much that humanity can improve on!

I feel that we've almost lost our connection with nature, and now all we're interested in is money. It's so sad... crying

I watched a video today in Earth Science (remember, this is my tree-hugging teacher biggrin ) by David Suzuki (it's another one of his videos) called Sacred Balance. It's about finding a balance between the unavoidable modern world and the natural world.

I just wish that the modern world wasn't so unavoidable.

The Native Americans had the right idea.

OMG, WTF?!?!

Look at this:
The Humane Society of the United States

In the area where the Canadian government authorized sealers to begin hunting this morning, catastrophic ice conditions already led to the deaths of as many as 90 percent of seal pups in March.

And yet the Canadian government still lets sealers continue the hunt - just for vanity.

In this case, I will have to say that the hunt is now too much pressure on the seals. It would be okay if the population had not been reduced so drastically already, at this point, it's just too much.

I think it was stupid in the first place. First of all, why is it so necessary to kill these BABY seals for their FUR? Secondly, BEATING them to death isn't exactly a very pleasant way of dying. And then skinning them, LEAVING BEHIND the carcass in the water? What a waste. At least use the other parts of the seal if you have to kill them. mad
