stop seal clubbing!

seals are clubbed or skinned alive in canada so what, old bitches can wear their fur? when there's plenty of fake fur they could wear for cheaper, that looks the same!! this makes me sick. is there an orginization like peta thats against seal clubbing? i really wanna do something to help stop it and get it across to people how horrible and unnecessary it is. people don't NEED to wear real fur just to 'look good'!!

 

Some seals deserve to be clubbed to death:

 

Keep spreading the word. Its very wrong, soon we wont have any wildlife if this shit keeps up.

If you ever see someone in fur walk up to them and ask very politely if you can take them to your farm, hang them upside down skin them, and wear it next time you go out for lettuce bar.

You have to wear a shirt that says something like "protect wildlife" or such.
:2thumbsup:

 

i would assume that peta is against seal clubbing...

 

yes, except for the radical "pro seal clubbing" peta splinter group

 

peta is evil though.

The Humane Society International and Humane Society United States are against seal clubbing.



Just to give you another angle (from Wikipedia):
In 2005, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) commissioned the Independent Veterinarians Working Group Report. With reference to video evidence, the report states: "Perception of the seal hunt seems to be based largely on emotion, and on visual images that are often difficult even for experienced observers to interpret with certainty. While a hakapik strike on the skull of a seal appears brutal, it is humane if it achieves rapid, irreversible loss of consciousness leading to death."

According to Canadian authorities, the value of the 2004 seal harvest was $16.5 million CAD, which significantly contributes to seal manufacturing companies, and for several thousand fishermen and First Nations peoples.

Also, skinning them alive is illegal.

 

True. I wonder how many people appalled by the killing of seals also eat fish. I guess fish are not so cute. That being said, I think, along with fishing, seal killing is pointless.

A matter of principle she said.

 

fake seal.. :leaving:

 

Fucking fuck!

Typical yankee. Why are you so adamant to stop the slaughter of seals when tens of times more farm animals are killed in less humane ways in the United States alone?

The seals are killed humanely. Their death is so quick that they don't even register it, and they are dead before skinning occurs. The only reason why so many uneducated individuals like yourself are against the seal hunt is because seals are cute. Admit it.

Also, it's not the Canadian seal hunt, it's the Newfoundland seal hunt. Of course, you probably don't know where that is.

 

its their Native right to do as theyve always done....it was done even before the stupid fur hat bitches came to this land

 

Exactly.

So, you invade their land, destroy their way of life, and then say that they can't do what they've done for thousands of years? Eurgh.

Although the aboriginal people don't make up most of the hunters. However, Newfoundlanders have always lived off of the sea, and there's nothing wrong with it.

OP, if you went to Newfoundland and said this, they would laugh in your face.

 

Actually, I do know where newfoundland is. And I am aware of animals being killed inhumanely in other places too. And, I'm not even a yankee. So yeah

 

I'm British/English...am I allowed an opinion on this? Ok, thanks.
Seals are cute, yes.
I would be lying If I said that wasn't part of the reason.
However, the main reason is it is pointless.
It is basically for economic reasons to furnish the fashion industry.

If it were to cloth "The Natives", fair enough.
But it is done on an almost industrial scale.
It goes past keeping the No. down (a cull) and is to maintain the fashion industry, pure and simple.

Farm animals are killed in humane ways too...
Ok, compare the killing of a seal to a cow, for e.g...
The only real difference is farm animals are kept in less than favourable conditions.
I'm not disputing that.
But that is a red-herring.
We are talking about the mass killing of animals not for food but for fashion.

BBAD you tell me how many seals are killed by "The Natives" and how many are killed by the fashion industry.
It might be their right, but it is also their responsibility to only kill as many as they need.
If they do, and they are respectful in the amount they kill, then they can be removed from this debate.
If they are in cahoots with the fashion industry to earn money, that is wrong.
Lets not romantisice "The Natives" if they are in it for the money too.

"It's lighter, sportier and more colourful."

Doesn't that sentence make you feel sick?

 

Uh, killing seals for FUR is not the same as seals killing fish for FOOD. So I really don't see the point in comparing the two things.... unless I missed something, which is possible as I am tired.

Any kind of killing for something as fucking stupid as making a fur coat for some rich asshole pisses me off so much.

Not just seals either, killing squirrels and chinchillas for fur, ect...

 

Anyone who insults someone based on their nationality is just a tool. So there.

And what do you have to say to a person who is against killing farm animals? I eat meat sometimes, but only local meat from people that I know, I never support factory farming, so why am I not allowed to care about seals? Should I care about cows and chickens and not care about any other animals?

 

I wasn't comparing the two.
I'll be more specific...
As quotas of certain fish diminish other more exotic fish are killed.
We are told these fish taste better and are more tender than the boring old cod, for e.g.
We, in western countries, do not need to eat fish, really.
It is a luxury.
As soon as fishing goes beyond need and into profit, it becomes obscene.
The fishing industry is in it for profit.
That is wrong.

I agree. When did I disagree?

 

I didn't mean to imply that you disagreed, I thought I was agreeing with you about that I'm not super good at expressing myself sometimes. I was just confused about the fish part. I also totally agree with you about the fishing industry. I do fish occasionally in the rivers here, mostly for non-native fish, but I don't like to buy it.

And I could not agree more with your above argument about why the seal killing is wrong. I feel the same way about Native Americans in my area logging old growth Redwoods. Sure, it is their right, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it is the right thing to do and I don't think their children will thank them for it when they have no old growth left.

P.S. I think fish are super cute!

 

I don't think we are disagreeing with each other.
I might have articulated myself in the wrong way.
Sorry.

Fish are ugly. Ew.
