270,000 dead seals

Save the Seals

Forgive me this once for posting something not strictly Wii-related (or even game related).

The annual seal massacre got underway recently in Canada. 270,000 baby seals (the quota allowed by the Canadian government) are set to be killed for their fur. And not in a nice way. It's estimated nearly half of them are dragged over the ice before death and skinned alive. Ouch.

You might forgive this practise of some poor-ass underdeveloped country where they don't know any better, but in Canada? wtF. Several countries have already imposed a ban on all aspects of seal trade, and a load of others are heading that way too. Still though, for now the senseless hunts carry on.

If you'd prefer these killings didn't take place, take a second to sign PETA's petition thingy. Or more importantly don't buy stuff with fur on it.

*UPDATE* - As of today, May 5th 2009, the European Union (EU) has banned trade on seal products. Great news for the seals.

For hundreds of years, people have been killing animals. Sure, it's unjust and completely horrible, but some people make their money that way. It's either the people that die from hunger or the seals that die from Canadians.

The fact that some people make a living off it is no justification for anything. If it's banned they will move onto something else (i.e. hopefully get a real job). It's not the end of the world for them.

Freaknasty said:

PHiRE it's not that easy, these people sometimes live in poverty and areas where work is not available. Hunting and fishing are the only options, we aren't talking the cities here, we are talking nothern canada where less than a 100 people live in one area.

PHiRE said:

Well I feel bad for them if they're in poverty, but pretty much anyone who looks at that pic up there or worse, watches the videos of the seals being killed would say that it shouldn't be allowed to carry on. The Canadian government should step in and help the people to switch "careers" if needed.

Avatar

wiiman said:

PHiRE is right. The canadian government should reassign the people who do this. And freaknasty are you saying it is right that they are doing this? This isn't measly hunting and fishing, it is animal cruelty. Also there many more cows in this world than seals. We usually use of all of the cow, they just toss away the carcasses.

Avatar

Freaknasty said:

By the way I resent that Canada sucks logo and would appreciate if that was pulled. Canada is a great place to live and the seal hunt is just one aspect that could be improved. I also agree that the seal hunt should be kept exclusively to the indeginous people of Canada who have done it for 4000 years and that they should have more human ways of killing them but for the hunt to be ended would be unfeasible.

That is mean and uncalled for. Thanks for the notification. I wouldn't have know about this if you hadn't made the announcement. Please don't feel bad about posting un-Wii related stuff in the future. Frankly, I don't care too much as long as it is interesting.

Freaknasty: I'll pull the logo if Canada ever stops sucking on this issue. I don't doubt that Canada is a cool place to live, but as someone who likes animals this seal massacre sucks ass (just my opinion). The fact that other advanced countries are banning seal products should make you wonder. It's embarrassing for Canada.

Ablex said:

I live in eastern Canada, I do not hunt seals and most eastern candadians (Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island) can honestly tell you the same thing. I do not even endorse the seal hunt, but I try to show you both sides of the story. Many of those involved in the seal hunt are fishermen who may have little to no source of income during the winter months. Although, the largest threat to the seal populations in the long term is not people, but global warming, with the ice thinning and disappearing there is so place for the seals to go (for whatever reason it is that they go on them). So the government (and just about every other country in the world) is urging us to stop the hunt.

All I know about this hunt is it's supposed to be a stupid tradition that's been around for hundreds of years. Maybe the canadian government is blinded from the cruelty of this hunt by the profits they make from selling those baby seals' fur. I also heard that the seal killers only make 40 bucks, or maybe they're being paid more with all the money that's being taxed from the canadian people, it's just my thought.

Avatar

Twelvefootdavis said:

Crimson hawk, seals are not Canadian seafood. They are hunted for their fur for wealthy American and European fashionistas. I think this is a barbaric practice, but the only reason most people get upset are because the seals are cute. If this was a spider/fish/ugly animal hunt, no one would care. Millions of cattle get slaughtered every month. But does that stop you all from eating at McDonalds? Survival of the cutest?

Andrew, it's not the fault of all canadians, in fact a majority of the canadian people are opposed to the hunt. 85% if it'll make you feel better, besides that other 15% are most Canadian politicians and the those retarded seal killers. They just need to be killed before they strike next year. The reason for boycotting canadian seafood is because 90% of those sealers are broke fishermen in Newfoundland. The canadian people should vote liberal.

Hey this is awful. Stop killing innocent seals. I have been looking at this for about 3 or 4 months and it is just wrong. What did the seals ever do to you? Don't you think that they should have the right to live? We don't need hamburgers or ham or turkey or chicken or any other living thing to live {except the dairy and egg products}. We should all stop eating meat. It is definitely not fair, do the animals have a say in it? No, they can't choose if they want to be eaten or not.

They're little, that's like killing a little kid. That's wrong man, just stop the madness. SAVE THE SEALS!

Fur FTL Wool FTW said:

I don't agree with seal hunting. I think wool as a much more comfortable (morally and physically) to wear than any fur (I consider wool different to fur because you collect it without killing the animal. It is actually better for the sheep to have its wool sheared off about once a year). If someone has to kill a seal for the fur to feed their family, it should at least should be adult seals. NO other reason.

When one has the opportunity to see some photos how these seals are killed and the reason behind all this, I can not justify this kind of behavior. Nevertheless I think one should start protesting and make pressor on his/her country and perhaps petition which then will be presented to his/her respective government. Hopefully, eventually pressor will be done by our respective countries authorities, and if need be boycotts will be imposed on Canada.

This is so sad. I am also from Canada. If they MUST kill them, which they do not have to, they may as well put them to sleep in a humane way rather than beating the guts out of them. They are so sweet too. Life is hard enough not being able to run fast on land, it sort of stinks when a person is coming after you with a club at full speed and you can't run fast enough. Canada is not the only place where there is killing or "hunting" of animals. It's all over the world. Pretty sad. I never wore a fur coat in my life and I never will ever buy one. Do NOT support fur dealers. I never will.

It's quite sad when humans think they can take advantage of animals like this. Killing them, it's just so inhuman.

That's so sad. Let that man lay down and I'll gladly be the one to hurt his ass.

It's stupid, they shouldn't even be allowed to kill seals. I think they can live without the seals fur pelt. The seals should be allowed to live in peace.

How can humans kill poor seals? We should all make posters and hang them up saying stop seal hunting.

Seal hunting is disgusting and should be stopped now. If I could I would show that killing a baby seal is like killing a human baby, this is disgraceful and no matter what country or reason.

Save those cuties, poor seals, but I can see why people have to do it if it was their only source of food and income then that makes it better, but they also do it because the population of seals in Canada is too high. Killing them doesn't make it right, why don't they just move them to Antarctica?

Why do they have to kill such innocent baby seals. No animal should be killed because of human selfishness. I believe that animals are equal to humans. Think about this, if people went around killing human babies would we allow it? No! So we shouldn't kill baby or adult seals, or animals period.

People, those seal hunters only make a very very small fraction of their income from sealing. In addition, for some, seal hunting is even considered a sport. And are seals overpopulated? According to scientists, NO! I'm not supporting this cause because I think seals are cute or anything; it's just cruel to beat a helpless animal in its head then skin it alive. And yes, I'm a vegetarian so don't say that I only support baby seals because they're cute. I support other animals too.

AHH STOP THE HURT said:

I just can't believe that Wii live in a world that does this. Stop the killing. The killing of Whales (if you watch Whale wars you'll know what I mean), Seals (as you've read above), Fish (I mean stop over-fishing. It's fine, but just in moderation, we didn't Over-Fish over 150 years ago, why do it now). And other animals like the killing of bush meat (monkeys) in Africa.

What in the world is wrong with these people. The seals are so cute, and they're defenseless. It's like a person killing a baby for god sake. I'm sure they wouldn't like it if a person came after them with a club the way they do with the seals. Some people in this world today are taking nature and all of its beautiful creatures for granted, and the sad part is that the majority of people probably won't realize it until it's too late. That goes for all the endangered species like the gorilla, elephant, tigers, etc. I just don't see how some people can be so cold and say "Hey let's go club a poor defenseless animal today".

It's not Canada in general, it's the people. But seriously, if you're going to kill something, don't kill it for nothing. Don't kill for stuff you want. You probably already have it. Freakin' idiots are a disgrace to my country.

S. O. S Save our seals, spread the word teach everyone about saving seals. Tell everyone you know, put it on face book, send though e-mail, people need to know.

Oh my god see I'm sick of all the killing of all animals and reading of hearing them on the TV, radio and papers. I agree with Leya, S.O.S and S.O.W (save our seals and save our whales). I am planning to do something about it because I love all animals and the ones that die, they do nothing to the people. We are selfish dicks.
