Beater Seals Playing on the Ice

[mrmonkeyisland1]

They must be protected from the scum.

[neilwhosesistersacop]

I think that's checkmate...

[NeHumanasCrede]

@neilwhosesistersacop Nope. Because the example you just gave is a perfectly logical thing. At the rate it's going, the fucking Indians are going to be consuming so many resources that it's going to launch a world war. I'm all for population control and I'm not going to say that I think that stops @ humans. Everyone's all "green friendly" to protect the future, but nobody want to take things up in their own hands when the dirty work has to be done for it. tl;dr - Someone has to do it.

[neilwhosesistersacop]

Alexander go into a pet shop anywhere in the western world, and see the people oogling over the cute puppies and kittens. And then do you think they bash them to death and skin them alive? No. And by your logic regarding overpopulation the people in India and China should start beating and carving each other up in the name of population control yes? *twat*

[alexander31088]

If your against sealing your a retard. Do a little research, instead of just looking at their cute faces, and you'll see that this has been going on for thousands of years. Yet why are there still seals? That's because they're over populating. A lot of their natural predators have been dwindling due to human interference. And just cause it's barbaric and cruel looking, clubbing in fact is probably the most humane way to kill a seal. If you shoot it from a moving boat, it may not even die.

[MsAveragePerson]

they just told the hunters were the seals are so by the time they are gone the hunters will kill them.

[oldy9]

Get me a sniper and a helicopter and il be there waiting for the hunters and sniping them down one by one!!!

[oldirishladdie]

Don't be concerned will a few seal hunters .Global warming is destroying the seals habitat and they will become extinct in a few years, The Polar Bear and the Walrus will suffer the same fate. Some experts say that by the time the damage is repaired most northern mammals will be gone forever.

[jannen27]

Stop hunt the sea lion!!! plzzzz

[Kidrocksis]

Hey Dog.. people and animals.. two different things... hopeless vs. helpless.. get a clue! Why are you even looking if you don't care. GET A LIFE! Go to some dog fighting site or something.

[doggy0803]

If they were not "cute"m most of you wouldn't care!

There are thousands of PEOPLE die a far worse death every year, get a grip!

[Flesketbrinner]

I agree with you, people get all emotional for the simple reason that the seal is cute, because it is cute, i mean, i think it's cute and i'm against the clubbing of seals, but then again, if these animals were shit ugly and not so very fluffy-cute looking, it's just a fact that people would care less.

[Kidrocksis]

So beautiful... wish I was there.. glad you were. Thank you!

[WildernessRanger291]

Moe than 60% of Newfoundlanders too, are now Against Sealers ruining Canada. So good Canadian citizens even in Sealing communities are fighting back against seal killers by Reporting them to the police.

The good newfoundlanders are watching sealers and reporting them to the Constabulary, Fisheries Officers, and Mounted Police!

All good Canadians, report any Sealers for Dumping, Expired licenses, unsafe boats, untagged lobster traps, taking undersized fish, transporting drugs, illegal weapons

[OmatTalesh523]

If you are American, you & your entire country are against this minority of Canadian sealer extremists. Americans have now criminalized commercial Sealing & its a US Federal Crime to import Canadian seal products.

To europeans, congratulations! If you're from Europe, all of you voted against Canadian sealers as well!

Even all the Good canadians are against this tiny bunch of only a few bad unpatriotic Newfoundland Sealers that pull Canadas good name into the garbage. Everyone is against them.

[tnksfrthmmrs]

How could you ever destory something so peaceful with beating them to death? I could never stand their and a animal. The ice is now RED. RED. What the hell Canada? Fuck them to fuckin death, assholes.

[xxhollisterrxxo]

i think this is so sad how they kill animals:( how can ppl do that? you stand there stabbing them lyk nothing is wrong imagine if you were that seal and some person can up to you and started doing that think of how you would feel?

[cherylclaire]

that's right. if ANYONE would even have the ability to IMAGINE what those poor animals have to go through.

look at those seals,playing peaceful with family and friends,how could anyone even think of destroying something lovely like that?

[satouame]

I don't mind when people kill animals for the entire animal(meat,etc.) but this commercial killing for the skins really bothers me.I hope they stop. Same for the whales(boo japan and their scientific crap) and the sharks(boycott shark fin soup).

And God, would some people realize their are other beings on this planet besides people and our stupid idiotic wars? I mean really our problems are of our own making(you reap what you sow).

[TariqAlSuave]

There are other living things, but whether there are any nonhuman entities, in a moral sense, on Earth is another matter altogether. Self-awareness and consciousness are, to the best of our knowledge, the sole purview of Humanity.

[skysaccount]

Really who F"ing cares poor Poor baby seals seriously  There is a war in Iraq, Darfur is blowing up poverty, murder and children starving everywhere. and you care about F"ing seals?

[rimind1]

aww they are so cute.

[nunavutdancer]

we inuit hunt for food unlike who ever kills seals for the skins, we use every part of the seal the meat,skin, guts bone everything is use nothing is wasted not like who ever hunts them for their skins, its our survivel.

[dingoprairie]

Newfoundland deserves to have its economy totally crippled. Red Lobster is the top buyer of Canadian sea food in the world. Red Lobster purchases lobster shrimp crab scallops and salmon that are caught by those who also club and torture baby seals. Go the Red Lobster dot com website and inform them you, your family and friends will not tolerate them buying Canadian seafood and will boycott them.

[zeldafreakje]

seals are ok, but sea lions eat penguins! not the penguins!

[ggeoorggiaa]

It is so cruel what they do to seals they are innocent and deserve a peaceful life

[Sen6s]

Will those hunters ever stop making a bloodbath of nature.. ?

[liammunky]

thats a good question?!

[mikey23455]

y do they have to kill animals u kno its not right animals have a right to live to its so sad to see ppl killing them u kno

[YellowStudios]

I totaly agree. Seals are innocent creatures who havent done anything to anybody, all they do is eating fish and sleep, and then some hunter comes and takes their lifes just to make money. ITS INJUSTICE!!! Every creature on earth deserves to live peacefully.

[dzgfdg]

@YellowStudios thats the problem they're a swarm who eat to much fish

[Horsematchers]

So You Like Killing Seals ??? Thats wrong!!!

[223gunner]

another year !another seal hunt on the way! cant wait to go back too the ice.hope the prices are good!!P.S. hope the ice pressure isn't so bad this year.

[088ngk]

the ice is very thick this year

[YellowStudios]

You really cant wait to kill these poor creatures??? are you mad????

[YellowStudios]

You can find another work, theres no need to kill

[ominuka]

I agree, they should be left alone. They are harmless and aren't do anything to anyone, but their normal every day activity. Why are they hunted anyway?

[Horsematchers]

O!M!G! This Is Terrible When I grow Up i want To Help these Animals, Gorgeous Creatures And so Cute Peace Love And Seals!!

[lionkinglov]

i love seals:3

[lolibollen]

I love seals im 10...

[sk8bot1]

Of you people really care about these wonderful seals, donate to save them.

[1255674556666]

I love seal's

[reachforthelasers]

But you don't love grammar.

[mudkipsoccergirl]

i love seals there so cute

[sugarplum0708]

cant beleive people actually kill these creatures, they are pure heartless

[annifred13]

have u noticed how alot of people are heartless? what they do is they beat down the mothers and kill the babies who still have white fur. They tear the fur off of them- and they can still be alive when you leave them.

[tubemaster6]

ACTUALLY killing seals with white fur intact is illegal. Also, seals are not alive after they are skinned, it is ridiculous to think that no animal can live without a coat. Finally the mothers are NOT beaten down. Adult seals are very fast and would elude all hunters. Check your facts.

[LONNEKE44]

These are such beautiful creatures, so cute and innocent...STOP KILLING THEM THEY DO NOT DISERVE IT!!!

[neongreen9]

No animal deserves to die at the hand of a human!

[LONNEKE44]

You're absolutly right about that. But some creatures are totally defensless, and that makes it even more vile.

[neongreen9]

Exactly!

People go into the territory of the seals and slaughter them heartlessly.

[tatertooties]

And at 1:25 ~ the seal doing the wiggly! Too too cute !!

[tatertooties]

That seal at 0:44 that was chilling out/ half sleeping with its face poking up through the ice... it just kills me! So cute :)

[pseudointellect]

I love watching seals. They're one of the gentlest animals. Someday, I'll make a fictional film or documentary all about the wonders of seals.

They have such sincere eyes.

[ADEMAR07]

Dear YouTube friends:Only lame excuses!People don´t need to kill animals to survive.Honest Canadians taxpayers have been stolen by CANADIAN Government.Canadian seal hunters are COWARDS!Sealers,be macho men,go to Iraq, there you will be shot in a minute!Iraqs ARE NOT COWARDS and won´t have mercy upon bastard Canadians.GET A DECENT JOB LIKE MOST PEOPLE DO!ThankyouAdemar07

[yotumari]

Well, I think most people in this world with any brain cells know that America and now Cananda are of the thinking that they're too 'high up the ladder' for anyone to do anything to them.

Maybe a couple a 9/11's may give em something to think about.

[luckyduck1197]

wow, what a generalization. most americans do not want this and try to stop it from happening! what are you even talking about, and now canada? canada is the country OF the killings, not america! have you even been here, because contrary to popular belief, americans are not all fat, stupid,blonde cowboys. and you spelled canada wrong.

[Sealpenguinfan]

I can't stop watching it! It's so cute! And lots of people are doing stuff to stop the slaughter house although their deaths are alot less painful than seals but not much people are taking action to stop the seal hunt, only the boycott and whatever, well, not in Austrilia any way, but as I was saying SO CUTE!!!

[hstormchaser]

About 3 percent of a harp seal's diet consists of commercially fished cod. However, harp seals also consume many significant predators of cod, including squid. Removing harp seals may mean an increase in cod predators.

The Canadian government clearly states there is no evidence killing harp seals will help fish stocks recover, and scientists have expressed concerns that culling seals may in fact impede the recovery of ground fish stocks.

Self-serving politicians

[TinyTina101]

soo cute

[neongreen9]

They are being clubbed to death and all you can say is so cute?

[reachforthelasers]

Evidently.

[hstormchaser]

The fact is, markets for sealskins are disappearing becuase no one needs - or apparently wants - to wear seal fur, except, of course, the seals. All around the world countries are closing their doors, and consumers are saying "no", to the products of Canada's cruel and unsustainable slaughter for seal pups.

[hstormchaser]

cant get over this statement

"I would like to see the 6 million seals, or whatever number is out there, killed and sold, or destroyed or burned. I do not care what happens to them ... the more they kill the better I will love it."

John Efford, Newfoundland's Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture, 1998

[hstormchaser]

Clearly, the government of Canada is willing to sacrifice everything (from their national reputation, to the wrath of the taxpayers, to economic hardship from boycotts) to continue their seal hunt which is nothing more than a make-work project for out-of-work fishermen.

[hstormchaser]

red lobster you need to buy your seafood from another source - save the seals

[hstormchaser]

save the seals till the killing stops.

[hstormchaser]

More great news for seals this week!

Yesterday, Austria, and today the government of France has declared their intention to ban the import of seal products.

[hstormchaser]

Fishermen say it's rare when ice conditions are this bad.

"Ice conditions are some of the most severe we've seen in 25 to 30 years," said Frank Pinhorn, executive director of the Canadian Sealers Association. "I've talked to a lot of sealers and they've got holes punched in their new boats and they're taking on water."

[hstormchaser]

save the seals

[karlahotdog]

They're fat and cute. And stop blaming the canadians!

[hstormchaser]

I BLAME YOU

[ruachWind]

Beater Seals... They deserve a Life! Get the Canadians to leave them alone! e - mail Canada Government Now. Come on you Adults or wot iz your Legacy? "S" age 12. prepare the way of the Lord.

[peckfeckler]

ya its not canadians seal hunters, thats like saying all germans were pro-nazi and all americans are pro-nukes and polution ( since their number 1 in the world and have contributed to global warming the most.. reducing polabears to 30% of their 1994 population...)

[lizpen]

Poor little babies... I am doing everything I can to get the word out and get this to stop once and for all! I have never witnessed anything so alarming and sad in my lifetime. What a shame and how frustrating we can't plant bombs on their boats and make them pay for what they have done!!!

[Smudgy23]

I'll never forget you and I will always always love you xxx.

Please vist my blog on my profile for what I think about this mad, sensless, cruel, horrific and completely unessacary injustice.

Thank You

[krndreamer]

man wat's with all these hunters?! it's lik they have no heart and i agree about sealing as a mad, sensless, cruel, horrific and completely unessacary injustace
