Canada Seal Slaughter begins

What if he weren't intelligent enough to realize that he was wrong?

If that were the case then I would still support executing him simply to make sure it never happens again. Though I oppose the "death penalty" as a government regulated procedure, I don't oppose single instances of execution where we know the person is guilty of the specific crimes.

  1. The study isn't reliable. See my previous posts.
  2. Killing the white pups might be illegal in Canada but that doesn't prevent it from being done. See previous post.

Ah. Yes. Of course. Your "studies" are reliable and my government's aren't.

Murder is against the law and Canada does its best to prevent it and to prosecute those that murder. Where is your evidence that that the killing of the whitecoats happens and that Canada would not prosecute any person who violated this law?

Are you mounting an effort to save the babies this year? They are all drowning. :boggled:

I already explained why that poll wasn't reliable.

How many people have been prosecuted for such? It's your burden to list those who have since you're the one who made the distinction of it being illegal.

You mean from Global warming? Absolutely.

If you had a seal that was simply killing all of the other seals and was killing dozens of them for no reason at all then I would support shooting it.

But seals tend to participate in the slaughtering of many other animals.
 
First post here.

Perhaps we need some "Free Range Seals" just like the chicken thing and Dustin won't have to rely on dramatic pictures of cute little seals to make his pathetic point.

Fight the good domesticated cause for christ's sakes.

The market for the meat of seals is incredibly small and is generally limited to Asian countries. Most of the seals killed are simply skinned for their fur and left to rot on the ice. So domestication makes no sense unless it's just for the fur. In the case of the fur, "fur" itself makes no sense because for one, synthetic "faux fur" can replace it and is cheaper and it's not required to even have "fur" for anything since other synthetic fabrics not only work better but are cheaper as well.

The only form of hunting of these seals I support would be for natives to hunt them for personal purposes. Not commercial.


P.S. Before posting your B.S. try to actually read the thread.

Don't need too. I'm quite aware of what the seal hunt is about.

Why don't you go after Japanese net draggers instead that rape vast tracts of the sea? Oh right, no cute and cuddly pictures to go with that...

No. I do oppose that as well. The systematic depletion of the oceans life by huge fishing nets which kill anything in it's path and millions of pounds of the life pulled up each day is simply thrown overboard because it can't be sold. I absolutely oppose that. Why didn't I post a thread about it? The seal hunt was in the news and thought it'd be a good topic to post. Do you want me to post about that as well? I will.

The context of that statement was regarding the lions.

As to Bundy, him being human, I think we can agree that what he did was indeed cruel.

So Lions can be themselves but humans can't? I agree.


We should also all be agreeing that the seal hunt is indeed cruel. Although there seems to be some people on here who either read somewhere that sympathy towards animals is "anthropogenic":rolleyes:, Or they're simply defending the actions of a few fishermen because they also live in Canada and are bias towards it (Sort of like the people in Israel were staunchly defending anything Israel did during last years conflict).

  1. If you really want to go that route and compare yourself to a lion then you must be like a lion. If you want to act like a lion and cruelly kill another animal then you need to be prepared to be treated like a lion. By bye free speech, voting rights, right to property and all of the other rights you cherish as a human. You can't have it both ways. Either you act like a lion and get treated as such or you act like a civilized and ethical human and get treated as such.
  2. Lions aren't omnivores. They must eat meat Moreover, lions aren't intelligent enough to make ethical decisions like quickly killing it's prey before eating it to prevent it's suffering. Humans do.

Like it or not, humans are part of the ecosystem, and have been for thousands of years. It's only recently that they've felt the need to be responsible about it.

If we suddenly withdraw ourselves from the mix and do nothing to influence the "natural" order -- don't you think that would throw the environment seriously out of whack?

That's what would happen if humans suddenly stopped preying on an animal they've been preying on for thousands of years. It has evolved to deal with that environmental pressure; without it, overpopulation would be inevitable.

I'll join PETA as soon as they come up with a viable plan to realize their utopia of perfect co-existence with all God's creatures. Until then, they're just pushing their unrealistic ideals on others.

It would require a whole lot of idiotic and senseless killing of animals for me to join PETA. We're close.
