My opinion on this cruel hunt: I love all animals and especially harp seals, for they do not deserve to die this way. And I think this cruel hunt must stop immediately. This publication I am typing is strongly supported by fact and no fiction is in this text.
# 1. It's cruel.
Countless veterinarians have proven that this barbaric practice is anything but humane. The dragging of seal pups while alive on the wrong end of the blunt hook is a violation in itself. Not to mention beating them on the eye instead of the skull, which has been proven to be hard, not soft and not instant death that the hunters claim otherwise, ( "Seal Song" by Brian Davies, chapter eight, "Pros and Cons of the Seal Hunt , question number four, "The Harp seal has a skull plate which is thinner and softer than that found in most mammalian species..." FALSE!) while screaming for their lives, and having to die a slow, painful death when they are scarcely out of babyhood.
#2. It's not sustainable.
Did you know that the Canadian hunters kill more than 350,000 baby seals every single year? Scientists warn that the current number of Harp seals are not sustainable, putting them at a high risk for extinction. Adding the fact that the price of the fur hats and coats used from Harp seal fur are now going down to about $5 equivalent in the United States. And the cost of sending the hunters with ships and paying them are a waste of Canada's Government money.
#3. The Canadian citizens aren't too happy about it, either.
A recent IFAW poll ( click on the link to reveal it) at http://www.ifaw.org/Publications/Program says that 79% of Canadians agreed with the statement that the federal government should stop spending money and effort defending Canada's commercial seal hunt, and concentrate on more important issues instead. ( page two, paragraph four, line number sixteen of IFAW's " Canadian Public Opinion on a European Trade Ban on Seal Products and the Federal Government's Support for Canada's Commercial Seal Hunt " publication, July 11th, 2008.
And the list keeps rolling down.
Sooner or later the Canadian Government will have to give in, considering it's starting to wreak their nation.
I predict Canada will be seen as an inhumane barbaric country as more lies get uncovered and the truth of this cruel, merciless massacre is exposed.
