http://www.care2.com/go/z/22821 i think seals need to be saved. anyone who hates seals and animal life doesnt have to post here. i dont like selfish people. when i said "i wuv seals" i was trying to be fucking nice, because i can be a fucking negative person. i figured people wouldnt give me shit for it. guess not, i should've figured even a hippy site would be full of assholes. i wasnt implying "i lvoe them only because they are cute" like a fucking idiot would, i was just trying to be nice. shit, cant anyone have any fun around here?
me too!! the babies are so cute. Why are they killing them anyways? for their fur? i mean isnt it gross to think, thats their skin almost and your wearing it!!! it just not right. I feel so bad and how many are dying each year. Its disturbing, and makes me sad to think about it. we need to do something. but what?
So you only wanna save the cute animals. If seals were slimey or ugly, it wouldn't even register. How come I never see a protest thread for saving maggots from maggot-genocide?
becuase maggots arent going to be extinct in a matter or a few decades. The harp seals can easily be wiped out by hunters and people who only kill them for their fur. I would save any animal from extinction whether it was down right ugly or the cuttest thing you ever saw. We arnt sayiong ONLY SAVE THE SEALS but thats what this thread is on. people are trying to save every animal out there from either extinction or being on the endangered list.
Harp seals are not endangered. They are far from endangered. Their pops are in the millions, they are straining the fish populations..not just for people but for the less cute animals like sharks which share a particular fondness for cod. As a matter of fact, many shark species are more endangered then harp seals. The seals aren't being culled just for their fur and the whitecoats arent being culled. They are being culled also to protect the other wildlife that has had to compete with the ever-growing pops of harp seals because all the seal-huggers want them protected. People get blinded by a pair of gigantic seal-pup eyes they don't see reality.
Yeah, it is clear that our planet is in the dire straits it is becuz of all those damn greedy harpseal pups. Kill em all, and all the other animals, cuz humans are the only ones that matter anyway. We might as well just eliminate the rest, they are just competition for food. Kill Kill Kill
It's very similar to the the final results from many of the 'Save the __________' groups - animal starvation.
------------------------------------ And you base this information on what? What the Fisheries tell you? You know what I haven't seen from the people who call animal activists "seal huggers"-real facts from independent scientists NOT connected to polititians who inturn are in with fisheries who need justification as to why they can not can't find enough fish to make ends meet. How about backtracking abit to previous fish harvesting records? Wanna guessimate of what you will find? Massive amounts of over fishing not by the "millions" of seals but the "billions" of humans who eat that very same fish. Who go for the delicious cold water flesh and demand it in all you can eat places. Because its the "fish parts" in cat food. Because its part of the fish meal for plant soil mixes. Do you REALLY wanna fuckin know why they are killing the damn seals, asshat? Because they need a easily blamable creature for HUMANITY's greed. Humans have learned a wonderful trick-how to blame others for our own fuckin faults. THAT is the real reason to fight against this murder fest. Because we don't wanna take the blame for our own greed. Greed, cynical otter, GREED not just animals doing what animals do is to blame for the short falls of most wild fish populations. Chew on that as you go to another fuckin all you can eat seafood house. --------------------------------------------------------- No, people get tired of folks killing animals saying they are the blame for over-fishing, greed and simple human carelessness. And right now, I know people here could CARE-LESS about what happens to the planet so long as they have their cell phones with multi-functions, latest fashions and wanna be fast-furious cars. At least I get tired of it. *sigh* Rant over.
Are you saying that humans are any better than any other living thing? You must remember that we are animals too, primates to be exact, not any better, not any less. Equality for all the creatures of the earth. -Peace
Oh, I see. You 'wuv' seals? That's alright then. Tell all the hunters to fuck off and starve - some random loser on a BBS thinks seals are cute!
THANK YOU! i cant understand people who seem to put animal welfare before the suffering of their own species. in case you forgot there are millions of people starving to death right now, as you read this another human has died simply from not having enough to eat. what the fuck kind of people are you that direct your energies towards saving seals when you could be saving a human life. yes, we are all animals, but i'm human and as such i will always put humans before animals. aniimal rights people, get your priorities sorted.
PRETTY MUCH. I MEAN I DONT LIKE SEEING ANIMALS GET KILLED BUT YOU CANT COMPARE THAT TO A HUMAN LIFE OR ANYTHING. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DIE AROUND THE WORLD EVERY DAY, WHY DONT YALL TRY TO HELP EM OUT? GET WHAT IM SAYIN. HAVE A FEELIN PEOPLE HERE ARE GONNA COME AT ME WITH SOME BULLSHIT NOW
The problem with all the "Save the (pick an animal)" stuff is it's often based on little knowledge of the overall scene and more about general public propaganda. If a predator of a certain animal is becoming extinct, somebody has to take over and control the population of the other animals that it was eating. Otherwise, the once naturally controlled population will get out of hand. Also, If you let certain predator species get to large in population you'll eradicate the species that they eat. It's a difficult balance that has to be met and neither I nor most people on this board have any clue how that balance is achieved. The best we can do is rely on the scientists to do whats best.
people are mean. i try to save people, but more fucking people try to save other people than try to save animals. i feel im evening it out. people are fucking selfish when they say "only people should be saved... fuck all the animals, lets kill em" im so mad
