Seal Clubbing

[wufwugy]

I have lived in northern communities where the local Inuit subsisted on seals, Beluga Whales, walrus, etc., so blood on snow is not a new sight to me.

In the case of the seal hunt, the Newfoundland fisherman also rely on the income for subsistence so, yes, I support it. If the seals were endangered I would feel differently, but they aren't (not even close) so I don't. The harvest is well managed.

Provocative images like this could just as easily be taken in a slaughterhouse that processes cattle, pigs, chickens, turkeys, etc., but because the seals are so 'cute' then people have an irrational, emotional response.

Tell ya what: stop eating meat, period, then you may have a right to get on a high horse.

Wait a second, all this seal clubbing hoopla hasn't been about them killing seals just because? Ever since this stuff hit the news eons ago, I figured it couldn't be about legit economical killings because nobody would be stupid enough to cry about that, right? I guess that goes to show that even though I have next to no faith in humanity, it's still too much

If seal stuff is about various nourishment then the debate was over before it began. I fucking hate animal activists. All they do is get in the way of people who actually care about animals

And not eating meat wouldn't even come close to alleviating any hypocrisy. More like stop doing anything associated with fossil fuels or a modern economy. The aggregate cost to animal life is more when you drive a car than when you eat a steak, after all.
