The first baby seal was killed this morning, don

They're killed with slaughters as they let man come close, and their mother suffer for weeks.



this behavior needs 2 stop. how does the world look at us when we kill animals like this? arent countries all about how they are viewed? we need 2 stop this. make it more humane. clubbing seals is NOT the way to go about it. i know its about fur, because they go for the babies, and i know its about fish, but isnt that because WE'RE encroachign on THEIR territory, and THEIR the ones who are starving? this needs 2 stop. the world needs 2 be exposed to this. just liek they were 2 puppy mills. I think we should get Oprah 2 do a show on this. that seemed 2 work on puppy mills right? i think we need SOMEBODY 2 get peopel who can give a GOOD argument on a show, so everyone can understand whats going on, and why. everyone needs 2 know BOTH sides.




Seals cannot be killed in Canada until they are independent from their mothers. So no baby seals are killed, young seals can be hunted but not babies.





Mama seals have already abandoned their babies by the time they can be hunted. They have nothing to do with their young at that point.





The hunting of seals is no worse than the hunting or raising of any other animal for food. Many people have no problem with a hamburger, what makes flipper pie so shocking?





Chickens are killed after a few weeks. But they don't get the same attention that seals do.




Seals are not endangered and the hunt is managed to keep the population healthy. I would like to see the US rescind its ban on importing seal products. What's the big deal? Frozen seal meat in the grocery store would be a welcome alternative to the other meats. Seal fur trimmed coats would be another product for clothiers to sell. Why should the hunt be only in Canada? There must be plenty of seals on Maine's coastal islands. It could be a much needed source of income for the Passamaquoddy indians and other residents of Washington county, Maine, probably the poorest county in New England. Its not time to stop killing seals. Lets celebrate the hunt. I wonder what barbeque seal taste like.




this behavior has to change it is barbaric horrid and inhumane, how do those people sleep at night or even how do they do it in the first place i could never ever go up to a small cute helpless animal and beat them to death, what kind of sick twisted person could?




So we kill chickens, calves, young dogs, and all kinds of animals for food, so what? If you only eat broccoli, then you can complain, but if 1 unborn chicken embryo crosses you lips, you are a HYPOCRITE!




If they are not an endangered species then I do not support banning the killing. The fact that they are cute makes me not want to participate in the killing myself, but I have no problem with others doing it.




Part of the reason is that they eat so many fish, and there`d be none left for us, the human race.


So will you give up your occasional fish meal, to save the seals?




i absolutely hate it, It's sick & there's no need for it. If there's too many then nature will sort it out. Slaughtering by humans isn't nature sorting it out




This will continue to happen unless a lot of people take a stand. It will take a lot though.
