DivetheRock:wardric, I'm clean of any responsibility re: the dolphin post...notice I didn't even use the word dolphin. ;-)
I agree with you, BTW, about the synthetic topic. I also agree about the leather and fur, too. I was merely referring to a possible alternative to fur for the fashion minded individual.I didn't bother to proceed about the pollution, etc. A good point , though.
There was a very good program on the Documentary channel a couple nights ago about sealing and NL. There was an interesting point brought up, about that which I have seen firsthand. Every year hunters come from around the world (US, Germany, GB) to NL (and Quebec, too, as you know) to hunt moose, bear, caribou, and other "game". I know that many if not the majority of these animals carcasses are left behind to rot, while the hunter makes off with his/her trophy head/antlers/pelt. Now, that's a waste! It shouldn't be allowed in our country, or at least give the meat to a family that needs it. Seals, same thing.
tedtim:We could use it on humans too. Just think, control the human population so we don't end up with too many of us on this small planet. Hey, there was a very populous country that had a one child policy. People tried to get rid of the unwanted children.
wardric:as long as you ate the dolphin's fins John, that's fine...
:joke:
jhbryaniv:. . . .SHEW. . . . Does that mean my shark skin boots and my ostrich skin boots are ok as well?
DiverBry:While humane, using the hakapik on unwanted children might be frowned upon in some locales...

Brand0n:I am A ok with the seal hunt. I currently dive for Fish Farms in east nova scotia, i see first hand the damage a seal can do. 1 seal gets into a salmon cage and will kill 2000 fish just eating there liver and leaving the rest of the fish to rot.
Diver Dennis:Like Rwanda? Not much of an uproar then while over 800,000 men, women and children were murdered, a lot of them hacked to death.
