It's not on the map in any Canadian media. At all. Won't be. And it
shouldn't be. Any bleeding heart who wants to pursue this issue should
first travel to Labrador and visit a few Innu communities which were
devastated by the 1970's boycott, and a few outports on the island of Nfld.
It'd be just a sensible to boycott products of countries which produce veal
and use horses to make premarin.

Your compassion may stop at the human-nonhuman boundary, but mine does
not. People who live by being unnecessarily brutal to others,
including animals, have no right to expect people of humanity to
support their livelihoods.

The murder of 320,000 seals, adults or children, is nothing more than
unjust genocide.

What about all the fish being "unjustly" eaten by the excess seal
population? Is that genocide too??? Where is your compassion for the
poor defenseless fishies ???

You're a noodlehead if you think this analogy is worth a plug nickel.
I'm not going to get into it with an illogist.

Why is my analogy worthless? I think comparing seals to fish is more
reasonable than comparing seals to human beings. Yeah, like this
controlled hunt is the same as the Holocaust...that is essentially what
you are saying.

320,000?? Per year?? Please tell me that's a total
number, otherwise that would wipe out the entire
population in several years.

Ever visited a slaughterhouse? Are you a vegetarian? The seal hunt is not
cruel. No more than the raising of animals for food, no more than the
fishing of the oceans for food.
