Dumb asses the seal hunt is needed you fucking cock sucking hippy dumb bitches. Life is tough. We Canadian will to whatever the fuck we want, kill all the god damn seals we want and all you wimpy tree hugging peta members can suck my cock. Fuck off, we'll do it whether you like it or not.
What a load of rubbish. The harp seal population is scientifically monitored (and expanding). The cull is sustainably managed and the animals are humanely dispached - a blow to the head with an iron bar is about as quick as gets.
But that's not good enough for these people, they want to stop sustainable harvesting of the planets resouces.
If you want to get hot under the collar over an issue then go the slums of the third world.
But please stop wasting everyones time with this nonsense.
Lets hope their wives and mothers and childeren are gang raped.If anyone knows anybody that calls this a career choice, please pass my comments on to them.These men are not human and it would be no great loss to human kind if they just fell off the earth and took their families with them. As for the fashion industry they are scum as are their "models" who deserve to drown in their own blood but as spoilt and overindulged cretins who dont deserve to be alive.
great this doesn't have propaganda here they show the same 5-6 videos and repeat it. everyone has to make a living, you don't like to bad for you. what else are they going to do?
look at the huge hunks of ice vs small boat takes some nuts to go threw that, whats next anyways the banning of crab\lobster fishing because cooks stab them in the head and cut them in the middle.
you like your hamburger, something had to die to give you nutrition
The Canadian seal hunt is an abomination. Nobody in their right mind can condone thugs beating seals to death. The seal population will balance itself out with the amount of food it has.
@Laoch111 So you would rather have the seals die a lingering death from disease & or starvation? Nobody in their right mind would wish that on any living creature!
@223gunner Why would I rather that? You have a straw man argument there. The seal population will balance out with the amount of food it has. Animals have managed a long time in this world without the intervention of humans. Tell me this – who in their right mind thinks beating a seal to death is acceptable?
@Laoch111 "The seal population will balance out with the amount of food it has." REALLY!!!! guess how long this takes, Have you ever seen an animal dying of disease or starvation it takes weeks even months,Let me tell you that it is a far uglier sight compared to the harvesting method used today, continued........
@Laoch111 "– who in their right mind thinks beating a seal to death is acceptable?" but slaughtering chickens for example is widely acceptable right? they start with hooking them by their feet to hang upside down by the 1000s then send them down the line where in a perfect world they each are administered a lethal electronic shock to ensure a quick death,but more than a few make it past the electric prong ALIVE before they take a quick dip in boiling water then progress to plucking,etc..
@223gunner I certainly don't think chickens should be treated so callously but what has that got to do with the seal slaughter? Letting the seal population balance out will mean much less deaths overall than this yearly blood bath. The only people that should be allowed to kill seals are those that need to in order to survive and not for commercial reasons.
@Laoch111 Sorry i do not see eye to eye with that because with an estimated 9 million seals out there & for a healthy population to be reached would mean a death of about 5 million seals & this years quota is @ 400,000, So mathematically it would seem that a commercial hunt would be a more favorable & humane way to cut down on an already overpopulated harp seal herd.....
@223gunner 400,000 is only for this year. If next years quota is 400,000 then that adds up to 800,000 and so on. How many seals have been slaughtered over the years? Far more than 5 million, I'd say.
@Laoch111 You see 400,000 is our quota,It is set based on % of how many animals can be harvested without impacting or decreasing the population, In the 70s the pop was around 3 million,& multiplied every year to 9 million for this years count, for argument sake take the 9 million seals to date,& lets say 3 million of them are females nursing pups, then even if the 400000 quota is taken this year then there is still a huge increase of the whole harp seal population!
@Laoch111 probably right... want to start doing the same thing for cows and chickens... don't worry.. I'll wait for your answer... even if it takes a century or two for you to come up with an estimation... and I'd be more concerned about a population which is struggling for habitat and has a population of less then 10,000... but wait... not as concerned about those un-cuddly looking species are we?.. give me a break.. humans real problem... not thinking outside the box...
did you know the WWF actually is in favour of the seal hunt? Read it!
"Most importantly, from the perspective of a conservation organization such as ours, the harp seal population is at a near record high with more than 5 million individuals and current harvest practices pose no apparent threat to the long-term health of the species."
oh the usual propaganda on this video,show the cute babies and dont show the big bulls and big bitch seals that eat their body weight daily, these people killing them should be knighted!
oh the usual propaganda on this video, dont show the big bulls and big bitch seals that eat their body weight daily, these people killing them should be knighted!
Come on guys... at least these seals still had a nice life...
Be happy a piece of chicken, porc or beef cannot talk while laying on your plate... you would feel far more guilty than somebody wearing sealfur after seeing this video.
This is just one reason to hunt seals, because they will become overpopulated and die off anyway. And yes, baby seals are worth more - and they are next years breeders. Killing the adults does no good. There's a lot more, but perhaps you should do some actual research before posting videos that make you look like a total idiot.
It seems that most of you are not from Canada. If you are, perhaps not from Newfoundland. Either way, those against the hunt have no idea what they are talking about. As for this video, the ecosystem works on it's own, does it? Tell that to the many cod fishermen who have been out of work for the last 20 years, because of overfishing. The ecosystem no longer works because of human interference.
@firestar9999 Your absolutely right. I am SO sorry for feeling sorry about defenseless seals being slaughtered for stupid reasons. Is there any way you could accept my sincere apology? I just thought "I can't imagine how frightening and painful it must be to go through that.". So I apologize for trying to stand up against such brutal and inhumane slaughter.
@firestar9999 Gee!!! What a great idea! That will get a lot done! Cause, you know, I;m not just expressing my opinions at all. I'm just bitching about it pointlessly and I'm never going to do anything about it EVER.
@mrbiggles563 if you express to somebody with that kind of power, they might listen, join PETA chain yourself to a fucking tree, GET YOURSELF KNOWN, NOT USING SARCASM ON THE INTERNET.
@firestar9999 You're right. Instead of showing my disgust at a pointless slaughter, I should chain myself to a tree. That will get a lot done. You really know how to help!
@mrbiggles563 i meant GET YOURSELF KNOWN FOR BEING A PEACEFUL PROTESTOR YOU MORON, I STATED IN MY LAST COMMENT GET YOURSELF KNOWN, WHAT DO YOU DO? YOU BITCH "you really know how to help" i know i do but its idiots like you who turn the help down.
@firestar9999 hahaahaaahahaha yea, "loner in my basement" good one. If that were true, how would you know? Are you saying that you stalk someone else who you think is me? And you have no idea what I plan to do with my life, besides conservation and animal rights, obviously. You're pretty funny, buddy.
@mrbiggles563 how would I know? because you watch wildlife videos, because your too lazy to go and see it. I go on here because my grandfather was a fucking seal hunter.
@firestar9999 yes...I'm to lazy to go thousands of miles to watch seals be brutally killed...also, a teenager can easily travel to another country. And you are acting like you know a lot about me haha.
@firestar9999 hey, if i were to club a seal for no real reason besides money, I would have trouble sleeping. It's a figure of speech but I was pretty dumb to think a derp like you would understand that...oh well.
How about this Canadian pricks.......if the world wakes up the next day and you have all fallen off the planet....you have made this a better world...What a waste of time you people are up North,,,,,just a watse of time...men with big sticks killing seals.....you are the # 1 WANKERS in my book.
Those of you who are not from Canada can mind your own damn business! As a Canadian, I know that the seal hunt is important to the Canadian economy, that seals are over populated and are harming fish stock that are depleted due to over-fishing (a much bigger problem) and that seal hunting is traditional to our local native culture. People depend on this to survive, this is how they earn their money. Which do you prefer, seals or people? All you Californian hippies can fuck off, you know nothing.
nice happy song..those seals are so cute..so are baby lambs, and cows..and lets not forget the little piglet gordy from the movie.but the same people opposed to the seal hunt will gladly stuff their faces with ribs, steak..etc..by the way NO BABY SEALS ARE KILLED..THAT IS FALSE..not since the seventies....livestock is killed with a blow to the head..but you can't get a helicoptor in a slaughterhouse. to take video...be careful using that song might make metal heads want to hunt seals..
@wizwow77 Bullshit dbl-standard of animal activists is only thing unacceptable here. Canadians eat seals, We eat cows/pigs/chickens. Koreans & most Southeast Asia eat dogs/cats/rats. Who da fuck are these animal activist pricks to dictate anything? Their only concern is bottom-line: Whatever foundations they create/money raised to protect so-called defenseless animals goes right into their own pockets. FUCK every last one of these animal activist scumbags!
@lolliwag amen brother....most animal rights people don't even bother to learn the facts...the killing of any creature is cruel..but it is so much easier to go to war with sealers than a huge corporation such as maple leaf foods who have security at their slaughterhouses..i once saw pigs being slaughtered..no pretty site....
@TheKiwiiz yes it was creul at one time i have to admit..but it has been illegal to kill baby seals for 20 years..thats what bothers me about this protest..its based on lies..propaganda. things that were going on decades ago before the industry was regulated properly....please look up the Department of fisheries and oceans (DFO) online..it states that "It is unlawful to harvest BABY SEALS".. it is a criminal act..i wish people would learn the facts...but it is still legal to kill lambs...
@wizwow77 Killing lambs is as stupid. Killing mothers after making her do babies for ten times is cruel too. And besides ... seriously, I'm still against it if it's mothers. It's because of us that they're being killed, without predators, that we all killed, of course they're numbers increase. and besides, they kill the seals only because they eat too much fish. what's the difference ? they need to eat. human has to adapt some times. animals are not gonna starve to serve us.
@TheKiwiiz where did you hear they kill seals because they eat the fish..thats not true..they kill them for the pelts which are used to make clothing..just like the leather industry..some are harvested for meat as well..the current population of seals is between 8-9 million..the hunt takes a mere 250 thousand animals yearly..there are more seals now than ever before...infact this saltwater animal is now being seen miles from the ocean in freshwater lakes feeding on freshwater fish...
@wizwow77 well I heard it from scientists. And, what's the big deal ? Human's are scared they're gonna be bigger numbers than humans ? Let predators come back where there are seals, and nature will solve on its on. how can you talk of 250 thousand seals like they're just things ? they live to, and life has no price, what so ever !
@TheKiwiiz 250 thousand seals a year..but how many millions of chickens, pigs and cows are slaughtered every year..it shocks me,,cows are killed with a blow to the head..there are graphic videos on you tubeof pigs being slaughtered..its cool for people to say.".lets get ribs wings and a burger dude"..millions of people eat that everyday...how about a lobster boiled alive..think they dont feel pain....i defend the seal harvest because there is such a double standard.
@wizwow77 Which is why I am vegetarian. Superiority of humans dosen't mean killing every other specie that can be eaten. I saw how they got killed. I investigated on that. Small and big compagnies let some people see how they kill the animals. Horrible conditions. But you have to start with something more people will be with you, and after, you can defend animals that most people don't even have a clue about them. Saving seals is a step towards animal rights.
@TheKiwiiz ok..you are entitled to your oppinion..i respect that..as long as you are not one of these hippocrites who wears a leather jacket, and eats macdonalds or chicken wings but talks about how awful those eastern canadians are for harvesting seals..i respect you oppinion, but please stick to the facts which are that baby seals have not been harvested for 25 years,its been outlawed...so you are saying the strategy is to tackle about 15oo sealers before taking on macdonalds..
@wizwow77 seriously ? as far as i'm concered, i'm against anything that kills animals. leather, sacrificies, milk, wool, MEAT. I'm vegetarian, anything that relates any close to animals, I don't touch. And I hate when people go up to tell me that animals aren't anything more than to serve us. pigs are more intelligent than dogs and they are less respected. i'm canadian, and i don't like most canadians because of fur farms and blablabla.
@TheKiwiiz i watched a video on the peta website about what farm animals go through to in becoming part of the modern worlds everyday diet..to be honest with you i felt like going vegan for a second..its disturbing... and i am an avid hunter.....eveyone should see the video...i just feel that it is not fair to target the seal harvest while it is so acceptable for people to eat chickken, cow, turkey, lamb, every single day of their lives..do you know that they cut the beaks off of live turkeys...
@wizwow77 well, i studied most animals killed, and i was suprised. I don't like hunters, I'm honest, they think they control population, but they only kill the best bulls, the best fawns, and the best animals. That does not help. And by killing that, it does not help anything. And some animals die slowly, by misplaced bullets to not damage the pelt. And yes, i know everything. Dosen't mean I'm against seal hunting that I'm a meat-eater or hunter. i'm vegetarian and respect far more animals.
@TheKiwiiz ok..i guess you and i have nothing more to debate..i respect your opinion..yes .the seal hunt is cruel, the slaughtering of chickens, cows, pigs and turkeys is cruel ...i only make comments on here against the people that are hippocrites like the people who eat chicken, beef right next to me, and while they wipe prok grease from their chin they cant figure out why i would defend the hunt....until the slaughtering of farm animals is ended...sealers have a right to do what they do..
@wizwow77 yes ... but considering that seals feel the same pain as any other mammal and leaving them aside just because other animals get killed in worse conditions dosen't really bring such a good end. I mean, if some white child was dying slowly, but a black child was dying in even greater pain, should we ignore the white one and leave it die ?
exactly..then why are people ok with seeing macdonalds or kfc on the tv advertising bacon, chicken, steaks or whatever....or going out all happily to buy a turkey for thanksgiving holiday..but have the nerve to say "boy you know, thoses sealers are barbarians".or discuss how some eastern canadians hunt seals,meanwhile they are eating a turkey dinner..how can people be against one slaughter but not the other....it is scary how much influence the tv has on us..basically controls how people think..
@wizwow77 i keep on pointing out when people eat meat, and asking them were it comes from. they pray for god, but what does god do with the killing of a living being ? it's proved animals feel more pain than humans, fish too. but i just find anyone who is a hunter, a trapper, a fisher, etc, and dosen't know exactly why he's killing animals, yes, then you are a barbarian. It's not a good reason ' just to get money '. You need to know what you're doing before killing.
@TheKiwiiz.. well man has been killing and eating animals since the bible times..God would have stopped it somewhere along the way if he was opposed...we have strayed from the subject..my beef is that people are ok to eat farm animals that have suffered tremendously but feel like they are saving the world by protesting the seal hunt....i can understand you because you oppose killing anything......so are farmers or huge corporations that use beef and chickens a bunch of barbarians as well?.
@TheKiwiiz ...... are the yuppies who discuss their careers while they enjoy lamb prepared in some exquisite sauce all barbarians, are the college kids who gather at a pub for wing night barbarians, they all love the flesh of a slaughterd animal..they basically paid money for that lamb or wings but some corporation did the dirty work for them(the riaisng, slaughtering, butchering of the animal)...the hunter basically doesent need the middleman, he harvests the animal and prepares it himself...
@wizwow77 I don't know. I don't have answers to anything. But I just know that killing animals for fun is awful and by research, 97 % of the seals slaughtered are babies. This statement was made in 2010. And really, Canada still kills babies and how ever much they kill seals, it dosen't matter, because human's still kill just as much fish, with or without the killing of seals. But most hunters don't eat the meat, or just use it as a prize.
@TheKiwiiz you must have done your research using green peace literature.and propaganda...but my sources..":the canadian department of fisheries and oceans" website .states that it is illegal to kill baby seals and anyone who would dare to would be subject toserious criminal charges...there has been no market for white seal pelts for over 25 years , after the first wave of protests in the seventies when green peace made their first substantial profits....
@TheKiwiiz every hunter i ever knew ate the meat..it is safer..it isnt pumped full of hormones and antibiotics like farm animals...as for prize..well, doesent a newly wed couple who just bought a new leather couch(made from the skin of a slaughtered animal) see it as a prize..a symbol of wealth or success.same as a new car financed from the bank with leather seats..people feel proud..its a prize..or the yuppie who gets his promotion, new office with comfy leather (animal skin) chair.
@TheKiwiiz as long as animal products of any kind are used in our modern day society..those animals suffered so people can have the leather couchs, boots, wing nights, steak,.bacon for breakfast..burgers at macdonalds..so that probably makes up 90 percent of north americans.. what gives anyone the right to look down or point their fingers at sealers ..yes, to you killing all animals is wrong..but to the millions of people that eat or use animals products..we are all still barbarians.
@TheKiwiiz the truth is that the population of these animals is way too high..they will soon be starving anyway because of competition for food, especially now that there is not as much ice or fish...but i could never convince a city dweller of this who has never seen a seal only on the TV as part of animal rights programming...(who by the way are making millions from donations)....the iffaw probably makes more money than amnesty international takes in to help human beings..
Ughh this makes me sick I hope something is done about the senseless killings in Canada. There is no excuse for this kind of treatment of animals. I'd like to know who the fuck is wearing animal fur today?
stoopid ignorant heartless people,, anyone who can hit a creature like that
and not feel sick to the stomach is absolutely in humaine,,,
i hope that mother earth returns these peoples karma in an excrusiating cancer ordeal, and that their families suffer immensly...i have faith that karma will fall upon all these evil people.... :]
@FearEquality Oh wait, all you take from us is our fur, you leave everything else. Why are Human Beings so wasteful? Oh wait, I heard of this thing called alcohol, inbreeding of Humans and paper called money.
If your american and don't understand why we do this, look up the info from the Canadian goverment, not idiots who don't know what there talking about. P.S. 98% of seals are killed instantly, the second and thired hit is to garanty there fast death, and 0 seals are alive when there skined, to raisyourfistnow: do your F@king recarch.
@DemAndroids The seals are over populating so the hunting is nesisary to prevent there food from being over fished by them. Hunting a few and the rest live is better then most to all of them starving. Also, NOT ONE of the 300 000 seals killed each year is a baby, that law is hevily inforced. This vid was made by some idiot who protests something he knows nothing about, just like Republicans did with Heath Care Reform.
When we have an internation fish shortage and the Atlantic Coast of Canada is plunged into even MORE poverty then we already have to deal with, I hope you happy that no cute little baby seals had to die, even though they don't kill the tiny white babies (which puts an end to you "killing days old seals") and the fact the hackapicks are illegal (this is kind of like showing all the black people looting after new orleans).
Oh, try give that cute little baby seal a hug. It'll maul your face off.
@cannonfodder891 Oooo, look at this bitch talking all big behind a fucken computer screen. Pussies like you make me laugh cause if you were ever confronted by someone like me....you'd shit your pants you fucken pansy. I guess there's nothing wrong with bashing someone's head open, preferably yours. (And I know that you can tell me the same thing about talking big behind a computer so don't give me that shit)
@FrznReaper seals arn't people dumbass, you idiots cant put up a reasonable argument for why we should stop seal hunting other than they are cute, since you are so tough why don't you come to Canada and confront the seal hunters, you could make them shit there pants LOL.
@cannonfodder891 Yeah, I'm seriously thinking of doing that. I really am gonna go to Canada and stop those assholes. I know seals aren't people, but even if the situation can't be helped, then why can't they be killed in a humane way. I guess to tell you the truth, the idea of killing them doesn't bug me, its the way they are being killed
in my opinion they are killed in the most humane way: the cruelst. and thats why in my opinion animals are higher in the hierarchy of beings in our world.
what really pisses me off is that this is a perfect situation for assholes to show off what they are capable of. how merciless they behave when they slaughter defenceless fleeing seals
@FrznReaper i know that it initially looks inhumane but in fact three out of eight times the seal isnt killed by a gun so the hunter will hit it on the skull, where it is very thin, so that the animal dies instantaneously. Another important fact is that the brain damage caused by the club will sometimes trigger swimming reflexes, which will make the animal look alive when it is actly either dead or unconscious.
@cannonfodder891 Your the fucking idiot. I don't care if something is cute if an animal is getting brutaly beaten to death Im gonna get pissed. I think monkeys are ugly as hell but if someone was clubbing them id react the same way. Atleast kill it humanely dude, it's not necessary to club it like 20 times until it stops moving.
@cannonfodder891 It would not be funny that would be fucked up, monkeys are really close related to our species so it's ALMOST like your killing a person. How would you be helping people out if they weren't supposed to have monkeys anyway? They should have stuck to dogs but no they want a wild animal. Fucking retards.
@CarlosWolfVillage monkeys are alot more stupid then people so it wouldnt be "almost" like killing a person, and people might get killed if they walk through a jungle so if u club a few monkeys less of a chance of that happening.
@cannonfodder891 dude it would be "almost" like killing a human, we branched off from the same family. And why would someone be walking through a jungle? That's like saying, lets club a few niggers so that people won't get shot in inglewood.
@CarlosWolfVillage you obviously havn't heard of africa, lots of people live in the jungle, and the about the clubbing black people; thats the polices job.
@cannonfodder891 Yeah but African people don't get attacked by Monkeys that often. And police don't club black to death, they beat them because they broke the law or are holding a weapon. You club seals for fur which is unnecessary, you have cotton and all this other shit but no, you want seals fur. Retarded as hell.
There is no floe ice this year so there will be no seal hunt off the Canadian coast.
Seal are being born on the beaches around eastern Canada. The mother seal is "ice oreinted' and will always fine her pup on the ice but finding her way back to a point of land is apprently a huge problem so the pups are dying from starvation. Problem number two is that people are feeding the pups then the mother seal will get a human scent fron her pup and will adondon it.
Maybe that's not the case, then you might as well be against eating cats and birds. They're cute right?
But one thing is that it's maybe even more unnecessary to kill seals because you don't really need seal that much.
I definitely don't think that cows or pigs are less important than seals, they're actually more important, we eat them and get milk and stuff from the cows. I don't think we get that much important stuff from seals, although I'm sure I could be wrong. I would love to be corrected.
They'er not heartless. They don't enjoy freezeing their asses off and killing seals. They do it to feed their families. That's something Protesters never take into consideration. Also this video is misleading. Baby seals have not been killed in the hunt since the late 1980s. Also, why do we have people protesting the seal hunt and not the slaughter of cows and chickens and pigs? I've never seen anyone Protesting in front of a store when there is a sale on lamb chops.
dude, why do they hit them? Why cant they just shoot them? Answer me that. And i now that there are some dumbs out there that enjoy this. And they have made a game of it? WTF
@roxetterc747,The Majority of the kills are by Rifle. But you see, it's more shocking to show a sealer crack a skull open, so they don't film that. And If there's a sealer who gets his rocks off of killing a seal, then he's one sick bastard.

@roxetterc747 , At the time they were hunted it, Their pelts were worth more than the Adults. Who would buy them? Probably the same people who bought Mink pelts and such to be turned into coats etc for the Rich and Famous. But like I stated before, the babys are no longer hunted. Actually they are probably more threatened by the activists who get right up close to them for Photo Ops. I'm no Expert, but who's to say the mother seal would'nt abandon the pup because of the human sent on it.

resources should be focused on protecting species that are imminently threatened. the seal hunt is an incredibly cruel practice, but priorities must be established.
D) Again the DFO states on their own seal hunt myths page that, "Several factors have contributed to the slow recovery of the North Atlantic Cod. Over-fishing, climate change and poor health." This admission was made by the DFO when faced with an irrefutable tide of peer reviewed studies that showed that the old wives tale that seals ate all our cod were proven to be nothing but mindless ramblings. (Cont. E)
lmao ohh my you people say you would love to kill the seal hunters but, what about chicken farms and cow farms where they are only born to die... you would like to kill the farmer ? will sure its not nice to see all the blood all over the place but thats part of life... if u dont like it still well i just hope you dont get lost in the woods and you have to kill to get your food... the site of guts and blood would have you traumatized
Not only are the baby seals not spared, they are indeed the targets. in 2006, 95% of all the seals killed in the Canadian commercial seal hunt were between the ages of 1 months and 3.5 months old. harp seals are supposed to live to be about 30 - 40 years old.
@CoffinCornerX You don't know a thing. White Coats or "Baby Seals" haven't been hunted since 1982, over 20 years. Also theres a population of 6 million seals right now and not enough food, if you didn't shot them they would starve to death. If you didn't kill them there could be up to 9 million in population devastating the fish stocks and the ecnonmy even more. Seal hunting was actually APPROVED as being humane by a council of vets. And your meat was treated 100% then the seals do you complain?
A) @Gloubys. I see. So you're one of those idiots that runs around telling people who know more than you that, "You don't know a thing". The Canadian Commercial Seal Hunt still DOES target baby seals. As you said, you've only stopped killing the newborn whitecoats. According to both government records and the EFSA Q-2007-118 report the average age of a seal taken in 2007 was 1 to 3.5 months old. The same report classifies these seals as "neonatal". (Continued in B)
B) Even the Department of Fisheries and Oceans calls seals up to 6 weeks old "neonatal". Babies. Oh you guys still kill baby seals alright, you just wait till they shed their lanugo whitecoats at around 12 days old to begin your slaughter.
You can search the DFO study, "A Review of Ice conditions and Potential Impact on Harp Seal Neonatal Mortality in March 2007" on Google.
The only reason you do that is because your industry had to be regulated by proxy by the activist groups. (Cont C)
C) You say there's not enough food for the seals? Wrong again. According to a 1996 peer reviewed study conducted by Leviegn etal., harp seals primary diet consists of squid and skates. Both species are vastly abundant in the North Atlantic. There have been no instances of famine in the harp seal herd. You are using aaaaaaaaall the old-wive's-tale arguments back solely by assumption and special interest spin. The only thing harming the economy of NL is human over-fishing. (Cont D)
E) The CVMA rpt to which you refer was a rpt financed by the Canadian DFO. And the exact verbatim you refer to is "the CVMA considers this a rapid, efficient, and humane means of killing young seals IF CONDUCTED PROPERLY." The problem? According to the very scientist (Burdon etal.) whose recommendations were adopted by the DFO in '03, 4 years later he again visited the icefloes to see that the humane 3-Step Process was virtually being ignored. So, it's not being conducted properly. (Cont F)

The Canadian seal hunt is an abomination. Nobody in their right mind can condone thugs beating seals to death. The seal population will balance itself out with the amount of food it has.

@Laoch111 "The seal population will balance out with the amount of food it has."

@Laoch111 "– who in their right mind thinks beating a seal to death is acceptable?" but slaughtering chickens for example is widely acceptable right? they start with hooking them by their feet to hang upside down by the 1000s then send them down the line where in a perfect world they each are administered a lethal electronic shock to ensure a quick death,but more than a few make it past the electric prong ALIVE before they take a quick dip in boiling water then progress to plucking,etc..
223gunner 9 months ago
@223gunner I certainly don't think chickens should be treated so callously but what has that got to do with the seal slaughter? Letting the seal population balance out will mean much less deaths overall than this yearly blood bath. The only people that should be allowed to kill seals are those that need to in order to survive and not for commercial reasons.
Laoch111 9 months ago
@Laoch111 Sorry i do not see eye to eye with that because with an estimated 9 million seals out there & for a healthy population to be reached would mean a death of about 5 million seals & this years quota is @ 400,000, So mathematically it would seem that a commercial hunt would be a more favorable & humane way to cut down on an already overpopulated harp seal herd.....
223gunner 9 months ago
@223gunner 400,000 is only for this year. If next years quota is 400,000 then that adds up to 800,000 and so on. How many seals have been slaughtered over the years? Far more than 5 million, I'd say.
Laoch111 9 months ago
@Laoch111 You see 400,000 is our quota,It is set based on % of how many animals can be harvested without impacting or decreasing the population, In the 70s the pop was around 3 million,& multiplied every year to 9 million for this years count, for argument sake take the 9 million seals to date,& lets say 3 million of them are females nursing pups, then even if the 400000 quota is taken this year then there is still a huge increase of the whole harp seal population!
223gunner 9 months ago
@Laoch111 probably right... want to start doing the same thing for cows and chickens... don't worry.. I'll wait for your answer... even if it takes a century or two for you to come up with an estimation... and I'd be more concerned about a population which is struggling for habitat and has a population of less then 10,000... but wait... not as concerned about those un-cuddly looking species are we?.. give me a break.. humans real problem... not thinking outside the box...

did you know the WWF actually is in favour of the seal hunt? Read it!
"Most importantly, from the perspective of a conservation organization such as ours, the harp seal population is at a near record high with more than 5 million individuals and current harvest practices pose no apparent threat to the long-term health of the species."

This is just one reason to hunt seals, because they will become overpopulated and die off anyway. And yes, baby seals are worth more - and they are next years breeders. Killing the adults does no good. There's a lot more, but perhaps you should do some actual research before posting videos that make you look like a total idiot.

It seems that most of you are not from Canada. If you are, perhaps not from Newfoundland. Either way, those against the hunt have no idea what they are talking about. As for this video, the ecosystem works on it's own, does it? Tell that to the many cod fishermen who have been out of work for the last 20 years, because of overfishing. The ecosystem no longer works because of human interference.

Those of you who are not from Canada can mind your own damn business! As a Canadian, I know that the seal hunt is important to the Canadian economy, that seals are over populated and are harming fish stock that are depleted due to over-fishing (a much bigger problem) and that seal hunting is traditional to our local native culture. People depend on this to survive, this is how they earn their money. Which do you prefer, seals or people? All you Californian hippies can fuck off, you know nothing.

wizwow77 11 months ago
@wizwow77 Killing lambs is as stupid. Killing mothers after making her do babies for ten times is cruel too. And besides ... seriously, I'm still against it if it's mothers. It's because of us that they're being killed, without predators, that we all killed, of course they're numbers increase. and besides, they kill the seals only because they eat too much fish. what's the difference ? they need to eat. human has to adapt some times. animals are not gonna starve to serve us.
TheKiwiiz 11 months ago
@TheKiwiiz where did you hear they kill seals because they eat the fish..thats not true..they kill them for the pelts which are used to make clothing..just like the leather industry..some are harvested for meat as well..the current population of seals is between 8-9 million..the hunt takes a mere 250 thousand animals yearly..there are more seals now than ever before...infact this saltwater animal is now being seen miles from the ocean in freshwater lakes feeding on freshwater fish...

@wizwow77 Which is why I am vegetarian. Superiority of humans dosen't mean killing every other specie that can be eaten. I saw how they got killed. I investigated on that. Small and big compagnies let some people see how they kill the animals. Horrible conditions.

And by killing that, it does not help anything. And some animals die slowly, by misplaced bullets to not damage the pelt. And yes, i know everything. Dosen't mean I'm against seal hunting that I'm a meat-eater or hunter. i'm vegetarian and respect far more animals.

wizwow77 11 months ago
@wizwow77 yes ... but considering that seals feel the same pain as any other mammal and leaving them aside just because other animals get killed in worse conditions dosen't really bring such a good end. I mean, if some white child was dying slowly, but a black child was dying in even greater pain, should we ignore the white one and leave it die ?

@wizwow77 i keep on pointing out when people eat meat, and asking them were it comes from. they pray for god, but what does god do with the killing of a living being ? it's proved animals feel more pain than humans, fish too. but i just find anyone who is a hunter, a trapper, a fisher, etc, and dosen't know exactly why he's killing animals, yes, then you are a barbarian. It's not a good reason ' just to get money '. You need to know what you're doing before killing.

@wizwow77 I don't know. I don't have answers to anything. But I just know that killing animals for fun is awful and by research, 97 % of the seals slaughtered are babies. This statement was made in 2010. And really, Canada still kills babies and how ever much they kill seals, it dosen't matter, because human's still kill just as much fish, with or without the killing of seals. But most hunters don't eat the meat, or just use it as a prize.
TheKiwiiz 11 months ago
@TheKiwiiz you must have done your research using green peace literature.and propaganda...but my sources..":the canadian department of fisheries and oceans" website .states that it is illegal to kill baby seals and anyone who would dare to would be subject toserious criminal charges...there has been no market for white seal pelts for over 25 years , after the first wave of protests in the seventies when green peace made their first substantial profits....

@TheKiwiiz every hunter i ever knew ate the meat..it is safer..it isnt pumped full of hormones and antibiotics like farm animals...as for prize..well, doesent a newly wed couple who just bought a new leather couch(made from the skin of a slaughtered animal) see it as a prize..a symbol of wealth or success.same as a new car financed from the bank with leather seats..people feel proud..its a prize..or the yuppie who gets his promotion, new office with comfy leather (animal skin) chair.

@TheKiwiiz as long as animal products of any kind are used in our modern day society..those animals suffered so people can have the leather couchs, boots, wing nights, steak,.bacon for breakfast..burgers at macdonalds..so that probably makes up 90 percent of north americans.. what gives anyone the right to look down or point their fingers at sealers ..yes, to you killing all animals is wrong..but to the millions of people that eat or use animals products..we are all still barbarians.
wizwow77 11 months ago
@TheKiwiiz the truth is that the population of these animals is way too high..they will soon be starving anyway because of competition for food, especially now that there is not as much ice or fish...but i could never convince a city dweller of this who has never seen a seal only on the TV as part of animal rights programming...(who by the way are making millions from donations)....the iffaw probably makes more money than amnesty international takes in to help human beings..

in my opinion they are killed in the most humane way: the cruelst. and thats why in my opinion animals are higher in the hierarchy of beings in our world.

Iceberqe 1 year ago
@FrznReaper i know that it initially looks inhumane but in fact three out of eight times the seal isnt killed by a gun so the hunter will hit it on the skull, where it is very thin, so that the animal dies instantaneously. Another important fact is that the brain damage caused by the club will sometimes trigger swimming reflexes, which will make the animal look alive when it is actly either dead or unconscious.

I think monkeys are ugly as hell but if someone was clubbing them id react the same way. Atleast kill it humanely dude, it's not necessary to club it like 20 times until it stops moving.
CarlosWolfVillage 1 year ago
@CarlosWolfVillage but clubbing monkeys would be funny, besides they like to rip peoples faces off so you would be helping people out.
cannonfodder891 1 year ago
@cannonfodder891 It would not be funny that would be fucked up, monkeys are really close related to our species so it's ALMOST like your killing a person. How would you be helping people out if they weren't supposed to have monkeys anyway? They should have stuck to dogs but no they want a wild animal. Fucking retards.
CarlosWolfVillage 1 year ago
@CarlosWolfVillage monkeys are alot more stupid then people so it wouldnt be "almost" like killing a person, and people might get killed if they walk through a jungle so if u club a few monkeys less of a chance of that happening.
cannonfodder891 1 year ago
@cannonfodder891 dude it would be "almost" like killing a human, we branched off from the same family. And why would someone be walking through a jungle? That's like saying, lets club a few niggers so that people won't get shot in inglewood.

@CarlosWolfVillage you obviously havn't heard of africa, lots of people live in the jungle, and the about the clubbing black people; thats the polices job.
cannonfodder891 1 year ago
@cannonfodder891 Yeah but African people don't get attacked by Monkeys that often. And police don't club black to death, they beat them because they broke the law or are holding a weapon. You club seals for fur which is unnecessary, you have cotton and all this other shit but no, you want seals fur. Retarded as hell.

How does one sign up to be a baby seal clubber?

There is no floe ice this year so there will be no seal hunt off the Canadian coast.
Seal are being born on the beaches around eastern Canada. The mother seal is "ice oreinted' and will always fine her pup on the ice but finding her way back to a point of land is apprently a huge problem so the pups are dying from starvation. Problem number two is that people are feeding the pups then the mother seal will get a human scent fron her pup and will adondon it.

I think they should kill them in and more theical way but other than that I don't see a problem with it.

Maybe that's not the case, then you might as well be against eating cats and birds. They're cute right?
But one thing is that it's maybe even more unnecessary to kill seals because you don't really need seal that much.
I definitely don't think that cows or pigs are less important than seals, they're actually more important, we eat them and get milk and stuff from the cows. I don't think we get that much important stuff from seals, although I'm sure I could be wrong. I would love to be corrected.

roxetterc747 1 year ago 2
They'er not heartless. They don't enjoy freezeing their asses off and killing seals. They do it to feed their families. That's something Protesters never take into consideration. Also this video is misleading. Baby seals have not been killed in the hunt since the late 1980s. Also, why do we have people protesting the seal hunt and not the slaughter of cows and chickens and pigs? I've never seen anyone Protesting in front of a store when there is a sale on lamb chops.

dude, why do they hit them? Why cant they just shoot them? Answer me that. And i now that there are some dumbs out there that enjoy this. And they have made a game of it? WTF
roxetterc747 1 year ago
@roxetterc747,The Majority of the kills are by Rifle. But you see, it's more shocking to show a sealer crack a skull open, so they don't film that. And If there's a sealer who gets his rocks off of killing a seal, then he's one sick bastard.

roxetterc747 1 year ago
@roxetterc747 , At the time they were hunted it, Their pelts were worth more than the Adults. Who would buy them? Probably the same people who bought Mink pelts and such to be turned into coats etc for the Rich and Famous. But like I stated before, the babys are no longer hunted. Actually they are probably more threatened by the activists who get right up close to them for Photo Ops. I'm no Expert, but who's to say the mother seal would'nt abandon the pup because of the human sent on it.

This has nothing to do with animal cruelty. Hunting is not innatly crueller than farming.
If this was done quickly and humanly these people would stil be against it anyway. They live to impose their morals on others. Support hunting

D) Again the DFO states on their own seal hunt myths page that, "Several factors have contributed to the slow recovery of the North Atlantic Cod. Over-fishing, climate change and poor health." This admission was made by the DFO when faced with an irrefutable tide of peer reviewed studies that showed that the old wives tale that seals ate all our cod were proven to be nothing but mindless ramblings.

lmao ohh my you people say you would love to kill the seal hunters but, what about chicken farms and cow farms where they are only born to die... you would like to kill the farmer ? will sure its not nice to see all the blood all over the place but thats part of life... if u dont like it still well i just hope you dont get lost in the woods and you have to kill to get your food... the site of guts and blood would have you traumatized

BlueEyesDudeDragon3 2 years ago
Not only are the baby seals not spared, they are indeed the targets. in 2006, 95% of all the seals killed in the Canadian commercial seal hunt were between the ages of 1 months and 3.5 months old. harp seals are supposed to live to be about 30 - 40 years old.
CoffinCornerX 2 years ago
@CoffinCornerX You don't know a thing. White Coats or "Baby Seals" haven't been hunted since 1982, over 20 years. Also theres a population of 6 million seals right now and not enough food, if you didn't shot them they would starve to death. If you didn't kill them there could be up to 9 million in population devastating the fish stocks and the ecnonmy even more. Seal hunting was actually APPROVED as being humane by a council of vets. And your meat was treated 100% then the seals do you complain?

Gloubys 2 years ago
A) @Gloubys. I see. So you're one of those idiots that runs around telling people who know more than you that, "You don't know a thing". The Canadian Commercial Seal Hunt still DOES target baby seals. As you said, you've only stopped killing the newborn whitecoats. According to both government records and the EFSA Q-2007-118 report the average age of a seal taken in 2007 was 1 to 3.5 months old. The same report classifies these seals as "neonatal". (Continued in B)
CoffinCornerX 2 years ago
B) Even the Department of Fisheries and Oceans calls seals up to 6 weeks old "neonatal". Babies. Oh you guys still kill baby seals alright, you just wait till they shed their lanugo whitecoats at around 12 days old to begin your slaughter.
You can search the DFO study, "A Review of Ice conditions and Potential Impact on Harp Seal Neonatal Mortality in March 2007" on Google.
The only reason you do that is because your industry had to be regulated by proxy by the activist groups. (Cont C)
CoffinCornerX 2 years ago
C) You say there's not enough food for the seals? Wrong again. According to a 1996 peer reviewed study conducted by Leviegn etal., harp seals primary diet consists of squid and skates. Both species are vastly abundant in the North Atlantic. There have been no instances of famine in the harp seal herd. You are using aaaaaaaaall the old-wive's-tale arguments back solely by assumption and special interest spin. The only thing harming the economy of NL is human over-fishing. (Cont D)
CoffinCornerX 2 years ago
E) The CVMA rpt to which you refer was a rpt financed by the Canadian DFO. And the exact verbatim you refer to is "the CVMA considers this a rapid, efficient, and humane means of killing young seals IF CONDUCTED PROPERLY." The problem? According to the very scientist (Burdon etal.) whose recommendations were adopted by the DFO in '03, 4 years later he again visited the icefloes to see that the humane 3-Step Process was virtually being ignored. So, it's not being conducted properly. (Cont F)
