AND.......? your point.....?

this is what people on your side of the earth is doing!


Global opposition to import of seal trade from Canada is increasingly growing and becoming stronger each day. Taking a step further, Belgium has banned any import of seal from Canada for the cruel and savage means by which the mammal is killed. On the other hand, Canada asserts seal hunt is the sustenance of its eastern provinces and must be let to flourish.

What called for such an uproar were the scary images of the brutal slaughter. Canada is home to world�s largest slaughter of the mammal anywhere on the globe. After Belgium imposed a ban on the import of the same for the cruel slaughter of seal, Canada has decided to challenge the decision tooth and nail.

Seals help in keeping the polar marine environment clean by emitting low-level energy that destroys pollution bacteria in snow-clad seas. In Canadian Arctic coasts, seals are found in great numbers. But, their oily flesh and blubber is in great demand especially for the Inuits, Eskimos and Aboriginals. Their flesh costs hefty sum for many Canadian small industries in the international market.



Canada hunts seals in a very cruel and savage manner. The most disheartening fact is that over 95 per cent of the seals slaughtered are only a few days old. If you were to witness such a merciless slaughter in which baby seals are shot at or clubbed with a harpoon and left to bleed, you would certainly experience heart break and become a vociferous activist to oppose Canada seal hunt.

Quite surprisingly, the Canadian government subsidizes the seal hunt and the result is nearly a million baby seals have been clubbed and slaughtered in the last three years, let alone the big seals. It is really shameful that the Canadian trade minister is threatening to request WTO to pressurize Belgium to lift the ban. I think the Canadian political leaders have lost their sense and human feeling by supporting the merciless killing of innocent mammals for a few dollars.

No doubt, seal hunt is important to sustain the living of many in eastern Canada. But, to earn money by seal hunt looks primitive in a modern age where industries are burgeoning and opportunities are growing in Canada. Just for the sake of economy, we cannot destroy the seal population and put them in the endangered list. Trade ban by Belgium should be taken with due concern by the comity of nations. I appeal all the green activists and the animal lovers to give utmost attention to how to force Canada to stop its state-sponsored seal hunt.

How bizzare

There is a difference between killiing for fat, oil, skin, or food, and killing for some bizzare ritual.

People dont read the Daily Mail its full of bull {censored} and propaganda.
If you can not find the same story on the BBC News or Sky News Website take it with a pinch of salt.
Tabloids in this country are notorious for being extremely right wing, left wing or making stuff up.

I know someone on this forum that is "completely right wing, left wing and makes stuff up"! x50

Running With Scissors - your post was going so well until you said BBC News and Sky in the same sentance

Sky New is Fox News with a PG Rating....

Sky News is quite a good news source, nothing like Fox news. They are governed by many laws stating that television news should be neutral and impartial.

The news in the United States is so pro-government, it's just stupid.

I'm sorry Scissors, I just can't trust anything someone employed by Murdoch says.

BBC all the way... unless its US news - then its The Daily Show and Colbert for me :D

I do find that The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are much better sources than Fox or CNN.

I hate NewsCorp and Murdoch being a VM sucker subscriber having lost the Sky Basics. You should try Sky News though it really isn't bad.

I tried watching the Daily Show but found it childish love news satire though like HIGNFY.

Just like the government's version of 9/11. The 'official' fairtale huh?

You live in a dream world. Im a a liberatarian.

I've yet to meet a 'Libertarian' that wasn't a complete paranoid nutcase. They should just come out and say they are anarchists

I believe in Thomas Jefferson / Thomas Paine / George Washington's writings. If you know nothing about them, then don't comment on it.

Or is it the left vs right people that are nutcases? I don't believe in neither, it is obvious the left vs right stuff is a fraud. Otherwise, the "Democrats" would have ended the war by now.

Don't get me started.
