Your indignation about the treatment of animals is extremely
selective. Please harness your energy and end the annual Canadian seal
pup slaughter in which Canadians club the defenseless pups to death
for money.
The United States Humane Society has uncovered the following facts:

Canada's annual commercial seal hunt is the largest commercial hunt of
marine mammals on the planet. Facing harsh criticism the world over
because of the hunt's cruelty and unsustainability, the Canadian
government and fishing industry have spread much misinformation. Here
are the basic facts about the hunt.

Which Seals Are Targeted by Canada's Seal Hunt?

Harp seals are the primary target of the commercial seal hunt, and to
a much smaller extent, hooded seals are also killed. In 2006, 98
percent of the harp seals killed were pups under just three months of
age.

Where Are the Seals Killed?
Seals are killed primarily for their fur, which is used to produce
fashion garments and other items. There is a small market for seal oil
(both for industrial purposes and for human consumption), and seal
penises have been sold in Asian markets as an aphrodisiac. There is
almost no market for the meat, so seal carcasses are normally left to
rot on the ice.

Is the Seal Hunt Economically Important?

No.

The sad irony is he passed on the same day Big Brown was attempting to
win the triple crown in the Belmont Stakes. Big Brown must have sensed
Jim's death - his heart was too broken to run today.

Nonsense. The horse had been on steriods but was taken off before the
race. I suspect he we was on a steroid "downer" and could not perform
as his owners wanted.

It looked to me as though the jockey was holding the horse back.

I was watching the race with a gal who owns 3 horses, and that was her reaction as well.

Why don't you help to set up a boycott in your area?

Speak for yourself. I along with millions of other healthy people live
extremely well without either. I gave up eating dead flesh and dairy
products years ago andI lost 50 lbs., my blood pressure an
cholesterol level returned to normal and my energy level tripled.

The only downside I can think of is I lost many of my meat eating
friends. Many have already died of ill health at relatively young ages
and the others are so bloated and out of shape and unhealthy they are
unable to be a part of my active lifestyle.

Then there is the matter of the ships dumping used oil into the

doesn't gave a crap.

The bottom dredging is another sign of corruption in the highest levels

It's sickening.

Sickening indeed, the oceans and seas of the world have become toxic
waste dumps thanks to the actions of humans. Not satisfied to merely
poison the waters with our toxins, the navies of the world
irresponsible use of sonar also kills millions of dolphins and whales.

Recently the US Navy was ordered by the courts to cease sonar training
exercises because of the devastating effect it has on marine life. Per
usual the fascist Bush/Cheney regime ignored the decision and
exempted the US Navy from complying with the order - shouting "9-1-1"
and "national security" no doubt. How much mileage they are going to
get out that canard is unfathomable evidently.

Today I saw another news report of dolphins beaching themselves. This
time in Madagascar - 55 dolphins died.
http://www.reuters.com/article/envir...p=trueEveryone
pretends not to know why this happens but it is naval sonar. The
painful high pitch of the sonar is so painful to marine mammals it
literally drives them crazy and they lose their navigation ability.

The more I observe the actions of human beings, the more I am
convinced that the specie is the result of a cosmic mistake. The
universe will rejoice when we finally succeed in driving ourselves to
extinction. Good riddance. The tragedy will be that we will have
committed omnicide enroute to our demise.

You have an odd selection of meat eating friends. I'm certain the
common thread in early deaths has more to do with lack of exercise and
eating an imbalanced diet. I'm sure they are charter members of Couch
Potatoes International. Most of my healthy and long lived friends
consume fish, chicken, beef and pork in moderate amounts as well as
fruit, nuts, vegetables, etc. Don't forget our bodies have evolved
over the millenia to process an omnivore diet and not that of an
herbivore.

You might be surprised - biochemically, physiologically and
anatomically, we're a lot closer to an herbivore than an omnivore.
Nothing about our bodies indicates that we should be eating blobs of
animal protein and fat in anything but the smallest amounts, if at
all.

Within the last single generation, meat protein has been introduced into the
larger diet here in Korea. In that single generation, body height and
strength have increased to Western levels. Unfortunately, around that same
time, Western fast food was introduced, so there are now fairly large
numbers (though nothing like in the West) of obese. It's interesting to see
20 somethings that are a full foot taller than their parents.

You shouldn't be so certain about things you have no knowledge of.
There is nothing odd about them at all. In fact they are typical
Americans eating the typical American diet.

You also conveniently choose to ignore the fact meat eaters of years
long passed were not ingesting myriads of chemicals that are toxic to
the human system with their meats.

Growth hormones are fed to animals to make them bigger which in turn
make the animals sick which in turn leads to the giving of antibiotics
to make the animal well.

Pretend as you wish that the chemical cocktail served within the dead
flesh you eat isn't harmful but the scientific evidence refuting your
wishful thinking is overwhelming.

It is strange that people like you seem to be so bugged by the notion
that others choose not to eat meat. Personally I couldn't care less
what you eat. In fact, in your case I would even encourage you to eat
more meat. Eat pork - eat lots and lots of pork!

Have you ever noted how most bible thumpers refuse to acknowledge that
humans originally had a vegetarian diet (Genesis 1:29).

They don't like to talk about gluttony either, Jerry Falwell comes to
mind. Instead of being raptured up the 400 lb. slob was found laying
on the floor of his office.
