FUCK THE HUNTERS SELL THEIR SKIN FOR MONEY

[caca12344321]

seal hunting ftw!

[fieldhockeyislove93]

Hunting is just an excuse for men w/ no nuts to feel manly. Only an asshole would hurt an innocent animal. It's called an animal-friendly job. GET ONE!!!!!

[SuiteChrissyPop]

ill do somthing about it ill put ur ass in jail for good and any other hunters

[trojanking11]

i kill seals do something about it bitch

[TA8AT]

so...cute

[rockchick975]

How could ppl kill such gorgeous creatures.

[ArtemisClone86]

poor babies :(

[RoflmaoCat]

How can you kill them there soooo cute. I hope the hunters are found and killed.

[reddeancaddy]

why would any body kill the hunters there not doing anything wrong there just putting food on there tables

[RoflmaoCat]

Well if you watched the other vids then you would know that they are not putting food on the table they are killing it for fur they they dont need...

[reddeancaddy]

fur they get money for witch buys them food and helps pay for there life.....duh did you think they did this for fun

[burton252711]

then why dont they just get real jobs instead of killing seals for no reason

[reddeancaddy]

how is it not a real job? just because you don;t like it doesn't mean its not a real job. do you really think its for no reason? just because you don;t agree with the reasons doesn't mean there is none second in some parts of Canada like in the arctic its hard to get a "real" job its not like theirs office buildings or many job prospects.

[7080hutchison]

They dont kill seals for no reason. You think they do this for the fun of it? They sell the pelts to the rest of the world and use the rest as meat, no different than any onther animal thats killed. where do you think your leather belt and shoes come from. The diff is that you dont see cattle being killed and they are not that cute so nobody cares. And they cant get real jobs cause there ar'nt any AT ALL. You hunt seal or your kids dont eat and thats it.

[Pat8765]

umm to live??? and btw seal meat is eatable people do eat it and we newfiews dont kill the babies we kill the adults and all these people show are the babies as the seal gets older it loses the white and turns grey

[7080hutchison]

You really dont give yourself much credit when you think a human being should die but an animal should not. Your against the hunt because it's out in the open and not behind walls like a pig, chicken or catle slaughter house. If you only new what happened in those places. Now go and eat your hamburger and dont tell us Canadians how to live!

[burton252711]

yea atleast we eat the meat you just kill seals and just use the fur.....

[7080hutchison]

you anti seal hunt people so dont understand the seal hunt, I dont mean to be crass but you anti seal hunt guy's r totaly brainwashed by the anti seal hunt movement. They almost always use falsehoods to promote their agenda. just so you know, it might have been true that they were killed only for their fur a long time ago but now every inch of the animal is used. nothing is waisted. it's the only way to live in some parts of Canada. If you dont do it, your kids dont eat.

[QwertyoPIZ]

Shut the fuck up and suck a big one, cattle in america is slaughtered in a humane way for consumption unlike seals which are wasted. Stupid newfies just kill them because they are to pussy to be a man.

[7080hutchison]

You ever been in a slaughter house buddy? It's unreal how horible it is. Killing is horible period. Your just against it because seals are so cute. Seal hunters kill the meat they eat, do you? I dont think so. The seal hunters I spoke to have said if there were other options for jobs they'd do it, but there arn't any so they do it to feed their kids. Doing something you'd rather not do so your kids can eat is infact pretty manly as far as I'm concerned.

[burton252711]

im not saying not to hunt them im just saying to shoot it and kill it fast rather fucking beat with a club

[7080hutchison]

I can Agree with that, threre's gotta be a better way. I cant see how shooting them would not be better. Seals r pretty slow out of water and I'v seen vids of hunters kill 3 seals at a time so I would guess it would be no different with bullets. It most certanly seems a more humane way to do it with a gun.

[madgicien]

@burton252711 if you heard more thant one report about seal hunting you would learn that hit them with a club kill them automaticaly if they continue to move it's cause of shock anafilactique

[MsColdCanada]

@burton252711

They are often shot. The hooked tool is mostly for dragging the dead animal over the ice.

[7080hutchison]

Whats with the insults and vulgar language, I'm being polite, you should too. If you cant debate an issue like an adult then you should not debate at all. I respect your opinion and defend your right to have it, but be polite please.

[blitzforce]

trust me, if they were to kill every pig or cow in a humane way, that would take WAY to long to meat pack for the entire america population. america consumes a vast amount of meat every single day, and i believe a large portion of cattle are NOT shown on tv.

[celgaara]

@blitzforce then just go vegetarian!

[wildvenisson]

I dunno know how anyone cn come up wit the idea that we need seal fur anymore, we're not livin in the 1900s anymor, we have synthetics that cn b made mor easy and efficient than fur cn b harvsted. It makes me sik to c an animal crawl roun bleedin t death whil peopl sit roun & sum even enjoy it. How wud u like it if i kill u by shooting ur knee cap out, watchin u bleed to death and then striking you over the head, screw all you people who try and justify yourselves with logic that does not exist.

[h2orocks10]

you know what the seals hav a right to live pretty soon they will be endangered and gone then other people cant enjoy them what happenes if they start using puppy fur?

[reddeancaddy]

no they won't there population has grown by like 3 million in the last 30 years

[ALBEFU161616]

FUCK seals hunt!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wallette90]

The Europe stopped to buy seal product from Canada because they think that seal hunt is cruel. What about the corrida ? They make suffer the bull until he dies. THAT IS MORE CRUEL than the seal hunt. At least, when they hit the head of the seal, he die immediatly. Shame on Europe.

[CoffinCornerX]

There is opposition to the corrida as well. Shame on you for your selective comment.

[kizmo69]

Seal hunt is for human need. Is this for human need? The rule is kill faster as possible when its for human need and/or its a necessity to keep the balance of nature. Is this video a swindle?

[sgtremington]

lollllll :) she is CRAZY this GIRL!!!!! incredible.WTF

[Avalonlovesjoey]

You can say whatever you want, but there's no way around the fact that seal hunting is WRONG!

Fuck sealskin!! STOP the SEAL HUNT!!!!!!!!

[wallette90]

There is too much seal in St-Lawrence Gulf.. There is more than 2 millions of them and they should be only 1 or 2 hundred thousand. A seal can eat a lot of fish in a day so..if we don't regulate the seal population, the density of fish in the Gulf (like the cod and herring) will decrease dramatically.. Protect the seal to kill all the fish is not the solution. WE HAVE to control the seal population. The killing method or good and the seal don't suffer.

[Dravenesque]

That's ridiculous. If humans didn't over-fish, everything would be fine. To suggest that seals are the main problem, and that's why they need to be hunted is just stupid. It started with us. We over-fished, and now we use that to justify slaughtering seals. I have nothing against hunting. What I do have a problem with are the terribly inhumane and cruel methods used for killing these seals. The entire area is one big torture chamber. If this was happening to humans, we'd all be horrified.

[wallette90]

I know that human is the real problem..There is too much seals because the humans killed all the main predator of the seal..the wolves and the polar bears. The seals need a predator so..we have to do the job of the predator. The seals don't suffer..they hit them on the head with a kind of hammer and they cut their troath right after so the seal die immediatly.

[MsSVasan]

Why don't you get your foot clubbed for 1 time before you write such heartless, insensitive comments.

[MsSVasan]

That was my reply to wallette90

[pehxianyong]

FUCK YOU!

controlling seal population does not mean u have to indulge your in killing. WORST- killing for the sake of fun and sport?! FUCK YOU!. there is so many human in the world, so that mean we should kill as many human as possible. dumb head. FUCK THE CANADIAN ANS NORWAY people!!!

[Tishy205]

Today in vancouver I'm going to protest against seal hunting.

[mmnan]

save seals!!!!

[MrLyle85]

I love seals above all other animals. I don't know why people could torture this sweet animals for nothing!! STOP HUNTING SEALS!!!

[doggy0803]

MMMMMM

Seal burgers!!!!

Pre-tenderized,lol!

[nikiforberg]

Someone should pretenderize you! or your family in front of you, see how fast you smarten up!

[Bonecrusherdl]

xDDD crazy...xD Seal Burgers

[judyrusso]

Absolutely! And you can bet that our children are really taking notice, we who say we want to raise our children with compassion and kindness.

The slaughter started on March 23. Shame on our government for going into the seal nurseries and slaughtering pups most who are just days old. I can't imagine the helplessness of the mother seals, not being able to help their babies. Animal experts will tell you that the bond between mother and infant is still very strong.

Support the Harb seal bill.

[nrutostry]

hmm. funny isn't it? your not allowed to take a 2p or 2cent sweet from a shop yet your allowed to bash the fuck out of a seals head :/ what the fuck

[bunglebeans29]

fuck you.

[takutolovex]

fuck you !! If I'de ever meet you, I'll just fucking beat you to death!!!!

[CaskuVike76]

Canadians have now learned that the seal hunters have been causing an economic loss to Canada. Sealers are taking huge amounts of money from poor canadians hit with paycheck taxes in order to pay the financial losses of the hunt.

Good Canadians are now reporting Sealers to police.

Get their boats checked for safety violations, get them investigated for expired licenses, Report them to DFO to check their catch, if they did illegal cod fishing, illegal weapons, Lobsters & Dumping. Tell RNC.

[Topasio998]

But why are these things allowed?

I mean there is no law that can just put these hunters behind bars for doing this to these poor animals???

[xthechikinmanx]

Save A seal, club a hunter....

[KnucklesPie]

yes,and skin him

[silla800]

When they do these to poor cute seals then you can imagine what type of people they are...MONSTERS!!!!! shame on you.

[slmwv34]

When they do these to poor cute seals then you can imagine what type of people they are....MONSTERS!!!shame on you. silla800, i am sorry i hit the wrong one i ment GOOD COMMENT i am sorry i will more careful from now on,

[mark1951zzzzzz]

Where do I sign up to become a hunter

[YYZZZYYY]

Where my fist begins you fuck.

[a1mint]

Problem is that the hunters do not want to cooperate. They continue their selfishness and defend themselves with their very large rude mouths. I've tried to argue, but there is just no point of approaching them. The only thing is to get the government to apply pressure.

They spread lies that 60% of Canadians support this hunt. That HAS to be a lie, because Canadians are fundamentally very compassionate.

[caseypuppy]

How many guys hunt the seals? Can't they find other jobs? How long does the hunt last?

[a1mint]

The east coast is known for difficult times. It seems everyone there is always struggling. You see these Newfoundlanders migrate to other parts of Canada.  Nice people, hard to make them work hard, sometimes, though (not always of course), no offense intended, just an observation.

Living of the land, so to say, is a fact of life, and not wrong. The problem I have is the method and concentration of the hunt.

[DonutNazii]

were also fundamentally smart, unlike you.

[a1mint]

please explain yourself

[l0v3l3sz]

i really like this vide0

[AjI2009]

I think it is distasteful of our government seems to not want to end this unfortunately savaged behaviour. There is no valid reason for these hunters not to find other means of financial stability and for the economic levels supported by the government.

[AjI2009]

I am not an activist of any group, however I have just read through some research that on 14 February 2008 the Conservative, Liberal and Bloc members of the Justice Committee voted against Canadians who want to protect animals from cruelty.

[HyperbolaGuy]

What the hell are you talking about? And check your spelling.

[shooter137]

Stop me if ya heard this one, a baby seal walks into a club......

[maxwoob]

what a waste of animal...lol..... use cotton /wool/polyester better cheaper warmer (protects the enviroment)

[imre420]

Well to plant cotton requires the death of many small rodents and habitat loss to species native to the plains or forest that is cleared to grow the cotton. Then there is fertilizer and pesticides. Polyester is made from oil. So there is the whole matter of extraction. Sheep occupy land for grazing that could be occupied by native species.

No matter what you do there is an impact.

I would be more than happy to kill an animal to feed and clothe myself keep in touch with the natural world.

[chris37uk]

shame on Canada
