Man you guys are so awesome! Especially Wardrick and Papa Bear! Your comparisons are spot on a seal and a carrott share so many like traits. A carrott - which is a plant and a seal an animal - GOD they are practially the same thing. I am so sorry for being so misguided. Everytime I eat a poor defensless carrott I am tearing into a living, breathing, thinking creature. It is really murder to eat a carrott and far better to mash in the head of a 3 month old baby seal so that some person can wear their skin as a coat! THANK YOU GUYS so much for showing me the light. For years I have been an ignorant animal loving liberal, what a retard I am.
I love how you guys again as I stated earlier make up lame excuses as to why this and any systimatic slaughtering of a living thing is alright. The callous, inconsiderate attitudes displayed here are proof enough as to why this type of behavior is stil deemed acceptable now in the 21st century. I am sure some of the people spewing this sickening nonsense have dogs. Can you imagine a person taking a spiked club and beating your beloved dog's head in then skinning it while it still had life left within it. Where is the difference and who has defined that we, the human race have the right to decide how, when and where a creature dies.
Perhaps there is an overpopulation of seals in Canada. In the state of Wisconsin there was an overpopulation of white tailed deer and many animals were suffering from SWS (Sudden Wasting Syndrome) a parasite spread when there is an overpopulation event. The DNR flew over in helicoptors low to the ground and shot certain deer showing signs of the illness in the head or heart killing them instantly. If seal overpopulation is such an issue in Canada why doesn't the government there adopt similar methods for a more humane culling of a problem animal.
Instead the Canadain government has allowed a slaughter of greed and profit. Shooting the seal damages the pelt which then cannot be fashioned into a fur coat. Perhaps those who follow the Busshist faith are correct that re-incarnation is the path of all sentient beings. Perhaps those who are so quick to make excuses defending the seal slaughter will be re-incarnated as seals and get to witness first hand just how fair and just the seal slaughter is. Those who follow the Buddisht faith committ themselves entirely to the preservation and protection of the natural enviroment and I feel many people on this thread could learn from that example. I was a student of Sociology and Psycology in college and one of the main red flags of psycotic behavior in juveniles and adults is the willingness to brutally kill an animal. It is believed in this science that if one can (with glee) kill an animal in an overly violent and disgusting manner that they could also do the same to another person. It's funny that so many on this thread defend behavior out of adults that certain scientists would deem a symptom of serious psycological disorder.
They don't use the spike on the hakapik to kill the seal. Look at the video.
If you think anyone can sit in a helicopter and shoot a running deer on the ground in the head, or through the heart, you obviously don't know much about shooting. As stated by others, clubbing is THE MOST HUMANE way to kill those seals.
You've understood there's an overpopulation of seals, right? If you want to have some input on methods of reducing the population, please spend some years learning about it first hand. Internet knowledge does not count.
They're not hunting seals for the sport. What's this idea of giving the seals a "fair chance"? To escape? To fight back? Why??
Seals are dead when they are skinned. Their bodies may shiver and twist a bit, but dead they are. So please don't follow through on this nonsence.
The most dangerous part of the education in psychology is the three first semesters. Then the students think they've actually learned something, and can for many reasons start "practicing" their new "skills" by judging others by their arguments, and even establishing a diagnosis on them. You are way out of your leauge here, really...
I didn't ATE whale meat. I eat it on a regular basis. If not so often, then at least every second month or so. Whale meat is legal merchandise here where I live, and you can buy it in any grocery store. It's usually situated in the freezer next to frozen pizzas and fish. -
