Hey it is either them or us. You just think they are all cute and cuddly but that is what they want you to think. They will rip out your heart and eat it in front of you if you let them. You should be happy we are doing this for you so you don't have an invasion of bloodthirsty seals on your shores.Disaster Button said:

I drove him right into a clubber and nothing happened. What kind of message is that?
I probably would, sadly.Jaranja said:
Then we must have our polar bears man the walls of our shore defense castles and they will fight the bloodthirsty Seal Armada, their will is tough and I think they might just make it. It will be a tough battle and a dark day for Seal kind.squid5580 said:

Why do you think PETA is putting up such a big fest? They only do it because they are cute (the baby seal hunt has been banned for about 20 years by the way) and they think everyone will pick up a sign because of it. You don't see them protecting endangered insects, or carnivourus bats, or things that people don't like.Lemon Of Life said:
Here's to you PETA: The seal hunt is a First Nations/Inuit tradition, and no amount of Olympic attention or maple syrup boycotting (oh no! They're fighting us with stereotypes and symbolism) will get it changed. It's in their Treaty rights. If you want to help cute and cuddly animals from supposedly "nice" people, go attack the Amish puppy mills. Do some real good.
I have no objection to wearing furs to be honest, people have done it since the very beginning of recorded history. In general the people hunting the seals do so for the fur which is going to be put to use, and apparently the blubber and other elements are also harvested and used for other products as well.
When I was much younger I seem to remember the arguement against killing seals had to do with the numbers and the fact that the babies were being killed leading them towards extinction. Allegedly this is no longer the case, so it's largely come down to a matter of PETA turning it into another "animals before people" rant. I can agree with not rendering an animal extinct, especially one that we "use". We kill all the seals for fur, no more fur. We have to regulate what we take with what the population can stand.
The one point I *WILL* give PETA is that I think people take meat and such for granted. I don't think your average person has much respect for meat other than as something that comes out of a package at a supermarket. This does not mean however that I think there is anything wrong with herding, fattening, and slaughtering animals.
I *DO* think that schools should however do tours of slaughterhouses and such. I did one for example when I was a lot younger (field trip). By this I don't mean the PETA "let's gross you out and horrify you with the atrocities" version, or showing a video of all the worst stuff they could find strung together as an example of your "average" meat producing operation.
While not quite what they had in mind, I do think it's a good idea that everyone see where their food comes from, and also that all horror stories aside, butchers and such are hard working people just like anyone else.
Also some kid's programs have been doing things like raising rabbits in hutches, waiting for the population to grow, and then killing them off skinning, and cooking them. I was never a part of one that did that, but I think it's something that could be implemented on a large enough scale into the public school program as it would teach a lot of valuable stuff as well as respect for meat.

That I don't have a problem with, if you're against hunting/guns in general then you have reason to be against the seal hunt. The problem I have, which I'm sure is shared by many, is that the seal hunt gets unfairly picked on because of it's marketability. It's easy really, you show a picture of Bono or some other celebrity posing with a cute little baby seal, then a picture of a big bad burly Canadian going in for the kill with a club, and donations to anti-sealing organizations come pooring in. Little regard is given though to the facts or to the effects that the boycott movement has on the local communities involved, just a bunch of urban hippies who can feel good about themselves by protesting in someone elses back yard.Akai Shizuku said:
Do you know how many deer are killed annually in the US? A quick google search shows that the State of New York is allowing bow hunting this year. Or what about the species of seals that are actually in danger of extinction yet get no support from the anti-sealing organizations? Overall the seal hunt is hardly the worst thing that goes on.
Heh, my post was yelled about. The reason I dislike PETA is because they ignore the basic instincts of the world. We fight, we kill, it's how nature survives. It's not some bloody cutese puppy dog eyes existence surrounded by scantily clad models, it's a war out there. Everything kills in order to survive. Bears kill fish and other creatures for sustenance, the creatures that the bears kill eat smaller ones, and the cycle continues all the way down to the most base of one-celled organisms. Give me one one reason, why the world shouldn't work like this, and I'll eat my hat.
I despise any form of animal cruelty or hunting of any kind. Even if its against seal hunting, i do not think i would play the game. I'd rather curse and swear at the paper or tv when the reporters tell of another animal having lost its life through hunting. You may also guess im agains't foz hunting also, i do not see the sense or fun of killing a defenceless creature in such a vulgar and torturing way. I hope the bastards who harm animals (or hunt in any form) burn in hell and suffer the same tortures that the animals did (but this time they won't be able to escape with death).
Sorry if this post sounds evil, i really get passionate about these type of things.

it's surprisingly fun, actually. really a nice game to play if I get bord, and the seal is so cute.
That seal sounds like it's been smoking something *yehooooo* and whats with all the bloody snowmen what were those damn canadian clubbers doing making snowman in the middle of the artic. If I was the seal I wouldn't be to scared, the clubbers don't seem to be going anywhere. Still it's not a good idea to club seals, but peta didn't really get that point across the only thing I was concentrating on was how drugged up that seal sounded and why he was ridding a toboggen when he could just slide down. He is a seal after all. P.E.T.A get an editer.
I think people would take PETA much more seriously if they...totally reversed everything they are doing right now. Enough of the sensationalizing, just get down to the basics and present the problem in a way that can appeal to normal, sane human beings.
