The Canadians forgot to kill the biggest seal out there! Paul Watson is a terrorist and should be treated like one! Tv rating would soar through the roof if that fat bas**rd got shot!
I don't know what the fuck that was in the beginning but seals aren't shot in open water in Canada. (They do in Europe and the U.S. though) Also sealing was never made illegal in Canada, hunting white coats commercially was.
@madmitch2u1 American eh? Keep polluting the Earth, starting wars that kill innocent people and killing each other with your own arms. Your on the right track.
You have say 3 million... Cats, I will use cats. You have 3 million Cats in the wild, the fish they eat will only feed 2.7 million of them if the fish are to survive to, What do you do to the 300 000 Cats that will starve? Let then starve to death or kill them fast and painlesly? Exacly.
Who cares if there is an industry for it. I'm only 1:15 into this vid and I can see not watching it will be better for my temper than watching it. Humans have no intelligence therefore should not continue to survive. Without technology they wouldn't therefore they are not natural and do not have an argument about following nature in their killing of animals. Technology is not evolution so f*** off human.
I'm FROM CANADA - AND I HATE THE SEAL HUNT! If you wanna see what's really going on here - by that I mean the Government propaganda that is being fed to your average Canadian... check out the latest vid on my channel.
>:o sun of a bitch why are you going to kill seals you sick sun of a bitch how about i come over there and shoot you in your head and woop you with a stick with a nail in you bitch
Ever head of money, food, overpopulation control. It today's modern society Money is Everything! Want this to stop then get rid of the monetary System and Let's GO Barter! (Which, I wouldn't mind.) We also have to control the population or it could totally screw up and they could starve to death. YOU WANT THAT BITCH! Them painfully and slowfully dieing! Because of no FUCKING FOOD! I rather clobber them with a quick death in the head then let them starve. The northern inuit also need F-O-O-D! GOD
to anyone who enjoys the taste of fish, if you oppose the seal hunt I call you a hypocrite. Do the math and realize just how much of a dumb ass you are, I made a video to this effect illustrating the math behind the claims.
Im from cananda, US and other places, Ripping dogs apart in china, tieing their legs behing their backs, being skined, a pile up of their body parts laying in the streeets.
Im not saying sea hunting is a good thing. actually. im ashamed of my self for liveing here cause of that. but we arnt all to blame.
if the seal meat are being eaten, then i think its fine to hunt seals. many people believe seals should not be hunted becuz they're cute. but look at this, we eat pigs and cows everyday, but nobody said its cruel to do so, and becuz y? pigs and cows are not cute.
in this video if those seal hunters did not gaff that seal even though it was still conscious it would have been another one of those terms"struck & lose" that the animal rights activists whine so much about! the way i see it! at least they got it before it swam away or sunk. so its fitting to say damned if you do or damned if you don't!
I would support the activists if the seals were indeed at risk of being endangered due to over hunting or simply trophy hunting, but since there is an abundance...
@netzero26 yes i would too! but not donating money or resources to the animal rights, i would donate to a irrefutable animal welfare group that actually invests in research for any animals well being!
0:14 = good shot. Seal hunting will alway be around. Get used to it.
The laws against filming hunts ect are there to protect the activists, cause when you try to take food from someones table they are liable to club YOU. And rightly so.
And where are you from? Because if you're from the US, you have no right to talk about how we treat our animals when you execute your own people for their crimes in certain states instead of letting them live (Albeit in a lifetime of solitude or misery)
I cant stand those reactionary anti hunting muppets, its ok to eat meat but not to hunt? Unless your a vegan you shouldnt be so hypocritical. limp wristed wankers.
Here's a call placed by conair888 to the local police in her city. "Hello? Is this the police? Hi. My purse was just stolen and I need you to come over right away and help me find the thief".....The cops reply, "I don't really care, there's enough problems in the world with humans killing each other that I don't have to worry about some purse." Although the civil stability of Los Angeles county was threatened during the LA riots of 1993 arrests were still made for looting. You need to Grow up.
Colin1568 - Don't give us that. People take hand outs all the time in the form of many successful fishing license buy back programs that have been issued to Norwegians, Russians, Icelanders, Americans and even other Canadians. This is simply an issue of Newfie pride.
Colin1568 - Wow, I feel like a broken record in this video comment section. The difference between gaffing a fish and gaffing a seal is that gaffing a fish is done for food. Gaffing a baby harp seal (which is what this video revolves around) for a fur industry that is propped up by the Canadian government because there is such low demand on the product is another story all together with. 96% of the seal meat is not eaten according to the Canadian DFO.
Well JordanNwr - If you're Inuit, I believe you. And if you aren't and still do eat all that you kill, then I have no quarrels with you either. Nor do most people on this planet as long as conservation issues are also taken into consideration.
loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooser rip seal
fuck that guy at 7min who says the seal is dead tha first time you hit him. what a dumbass, look on other films on youtube then you see he is lie-ing. he should be hit whit that bat and sliced open when he`s still alive. as a matter of fact: fuck all of the sealers. bunch of murderers. i should do that with their children, see if that`s fun
It's a waste of tasty raw meat if they only hunt seals for their fur... i would be there to take a maximum of raw meat seal to put it in my freezer! That should change of beef. Yummy! a bloody raw meat steal's steak should be good for dinner. I will try to find that kind of meat in a delicatessen shop if i could find seal's meat. I 'm carnivor and seal is food for me! no more! rawwrrRrrr!!! XD
Well I am inclined to agree with what he said. Trama to the head will kill someone with the right amount of force, or at least knock them unconscious, which is what the other blows will do is finish them off.
However what makes better propaganda? One hit one kill or the ones that take a little longer. Also sealing is no different then fishing, only we just drown the fish.
Thanato26 - Actually, since we actually eat fish, I guess that society at large has ruled that the calculated risk of inflicting trauma to fish is worth the benefit of the nourishment of the masses. Not so when slaughtering baby seals for their fur only.
Just to be dramatic...So if its ok for canadians to kill so many seals, why care about the holocaust, i mean germany was only in a depression, they needed the support and what not...again being dramatic, seals arent people but are still living things....maybe we should go club canadians..as an american it should be our birth right...right?
people actually eat those, to not kill them and not eat them would greatly change the world in more of a negative way, we would all be too thin and weak, as far as i know most of the world doesn't eat seal.
No most of the world does not eat seal, however those who hunt them do. As do a large number of the Inuit, which is where I got to taste seal, and to tell you the truth it tastes rather good, both raw and cooked.
The seal hunt that this film covers IS NOT the Inuit seal hunt where every last bit of the seal is either eaten or used. Only 4% of the edible biomass generated by the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of baby seals each year is eventually sold as meat. The flippers are on some occasions eaten by the people of Newfoundland/Labrador. It's a hunt for fur that is so unwanted that in 2006 50K pelts were burned when an attempt to remarket them through the Inuit of Greenland was made and failed.
Thanato26. As I said below, baby cows and baby seals are not being killed for their fur alone. These baby harp seals are. THAT'S the big difference. So, unless you're willing to actually eat seal pelts to defend your position, it's best you drop this argument entirely.
No, the common seal hunt supporter propaganda line is, "We don't kill baby seals anymore." The truth is that Canada does. The 122 p., peer reviewed EFSA Q-2007-118 study labeled the seals that are being killed, those between the ages of 3 weeks to 3.5 months old, as "neonatal" aka: babies. Since 1987 the hunters are merely not allowed to kill "whitecoats" anymore. Those being newborns as old as 14-16 days old. After that, they once again become the targets of the hunt.
THANK YOU EU!!! You have proven to the world that there is no need for such a barbaric "blood orgy" in Canada... and yes ..(if you ask )...I am from Canada and ALSO a PROUD Canadian!!!!
its their birth right? their heritage? what a load of crap. we were all fucking cavemen at one point but we learned how to speak and walk upright ffs, its 2009 fuck ur heritage and all that bullshyt ppl need to wake the fuck up and quit living in the past like dumb fucks
And yet that is what is being proposed we do to save the planet by going green, living more eco-friendly, going back in time, doing things the old way because the planet wasn't in turmoil back then. It was the introduction of all of our convenience items that sent us into a downward spiral, now we're being encouraged to use them less. Think about it. The people who hunt seals live more naturally and eco-friendly than you.
no its called making better technology thats more clean and effecient, not revert back to a horse and carriage. you dont see chevrelot coming out with a new stylish carriage you see them making more fuel effecient vehicles, moving on to new fuels, and eventually moving to electric. yea its slow but its coming.
The very technology you speak of is part of the reason we are where we are today. Now more technology is needed to make the old "clean and effecient". An electric car is still surpassed by not using a vehicle at all. However, you seem to have missed my point, the point is it is acceptable to live more naturally as that is in a nut shell what living green is about. Those who hunt seals, for the most part, do live naturally but are being critisized for it.
a car is more efficient than walking or by horse, i believe that goes with out saying. making it cleaner would happen long before convincing ppl to get rid of cars altogether, i would hope u already have come to that realization. and as far as this being normal, maybe if they actually had to do that to survive, it would make sense, but mercilessly slaughtering thousands of baby seals, isnt fuckin normal by any means.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
A vehicle is only efficient because it is convenient. I am in no way saying that people need to go without a mode of transport, simply use them less, or carpool or use public transit which is repeatedly stated in all "living green" literature. Walking does not burn more green house gases than a car! Do you honestly believe that these men risk their lives for pleasure? They do do it to survive.
:/ i guess that is pretty vague, i think were looking at whats 'efficient' differently. a car is more efficient than walking because its much faster. and no its not the cleanest thing ever, but then again alot of the things you do everyday could be done differently if you cared that much. how many electronics do u have in ur home made by sony?...anyways my way of looking at this is its extremely unnecessary, and they do have other means of making a living, theyre just clinging onto this.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Exactly, a car is faster which means it's more convenient. You do not know what I do every day or how much I care. I am not perfect and never claimed that I was. I have already made changes to my lifestyle to become more eco-friendly and as I learn more I will continue to make changes. It's unnecessary to allow the seals to starve to death. If the hunt stops the seals will still be killed to manage their pop. You seem to be an expert in rural life, what are these other means of making a living?
to starve to death? or to be beaten in the head with a club and nail and wait for my eventual death? hmm i rly cant decide which way id rather die both sound pretty shitty but tbh you dont ever think that people take advantage of that oppurtunity? to make money off the harm of another living animal and to justify it by saying it was going to die anyways? thats sounds pretty immoral and greedy imo, like i said before i think this is incredibly unecessary, theyve completely went overboard.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The hakapik has been proven a quick and humane tool to kill seals however only about 5% of seals are actually clubbed, the rest are shot. Starvation is a slow and very painful way to die, starvation also risks the entire herd. By removing a percent of the seals the overall herd stays healthy. The justification remains to kill some to save all.
Fully aware that the majority of seals are taken at The Front with rifles, I have more humanity contentions with the slaughter than just the methods used. I think Watson put it best when he pointed out that indiscriminate killing of baby animals regardless of their fitness to survive can only damage the strength of a species.
Survive? I wish you'd stop being so dramatic. A fraction of these killers living is made off the seal hunt. In 2006 the Canadian seal hunt constituted less than one half of one percent of the GDP of Newfoundland/Labrador. What's more, on an individual level the average numb-skull that does this made less than $1,100 off it at it's height in 2006. Not that anyone would want it, but two sperm donations later and they'd have more money in their pockets than they have from the seal hunt.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Do you not realize how utterly ridiculous your $1,100 figure is? Take a crew of 8 inc. the skipper (boat gets half). At that figure they would have brought in $15,400. In 2006 pelt prices were about $100 which means that crew only landed 154 seals for the whole trip. This year large boats were permitted to kill 400 seals A DAY! I'm not being dramatic. Averages do not speak for individual sealers.
"Allowed to". "Allowed to". But did they? No. Hey, I'm just using the DFO's very own statistics from the very season (2006) you mention. You use assumptions and fuzzy math. $7,000,000 dividend, divided by active licenses (6000) = $1,100. Period. With the 2009 seal pelt market fetching only $30 a pelt that number would be much smaller. You look a gift horse in the mouth. Then here, reap $400 per sealer. No wonder hardly any boats founded it even economically feezable to leave port in 2009.
Ersabette said, "Averages do not speak for individual sealers."
That's right! They don't. With averages at $1,100 in a 6000 unit market, how much could those who make a substantial income off the hunt be making? The answer is not enough to justify the negative publicity of public opinion and waste of tax payer dollars spent to support a few (300-400?) stubborn and proud (the worst possible definition of the word) individuals that need to sell their horse and buy a friggen hybrid!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You speak of assumptions and yet you assume all 6000 licensed sealers took part in the hunt that year. Like it or not my math is not fuzzy- that is how the sealers are paid. The 400 seals per day restriction was put into place to slow the sealers down. Obviously they are capable of killing more than that in a day during a hunt that last weeks and you assume over the course of a whole trip they come back with a mere 157!
What a load! These people drive cars and burn fuel not only on their ships, but also on the heavy icebreakers that run for 5 - 6 days to help them (funded by tax payers mind you). These seal skinners are no more eco-friendly than we.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It was the tax payers that wanted the hunt better monitored, they got their wish. Who did they think was going to pay for it? Living off the land and sea means we do not consume the amount of imported foods that many urbanites do which means less fossil fuel emissions. Eating more wild game and seafood means less from factory farms. Wood is our primary source of heat in the winter, not gas like for those in the city. Wood is eco-friendly.
If I'm not mistaken, the majority of "tax payers" didn't want the seal hunt to take place at all (source DFO). It's kinda like cigarettes in the US. Fewer and fewer actually smoke them, but they kill many, many more than just the smokers themselves. But what happens??? Because of special interest lobbying on capitol hill an industry that kills millions every year but puts money in the pockets of the few is rewarded with TAX CUTS!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Liar. From DFO: "Myth #9: The majority of Canadians are opposed to the seal hunt.
Reality: "...DFO has conducted public opinion research on this subject in 2000 and 2005. The results of both polls indicated that a majority of Canadians do not object to the seal hunt if it is conducted in a humane manner."
fuckin dicusting canadains are so pathetic and so is there country i hope they ll burn in hell for eternity along with every canadain seal coat wearer dumb uneducated fucks
Apparently you were not aware that in your country, the UK, that seals are killed just because they are a nuisance? Seals are permitted to be killed on the spot under the Fisheries Defense Clause - no records of how the seals were killed or how many of them are killed every year are kept and no part of the seal is used. Seems those who you call uneducated take more responsiblity for their wildlife by attempting to maintain an industry.
Although there is controversy surrounding the lethal dispatching of seals as nucense animals in England the amount killed annually is so few that as you say there is no record thereof. For several years in the mid '00's the Canadian seal slaughter qualified head and shoulders above the nearest as the largest slaughter of marine mammals on earth. Those involved in the growing of poppy crops in Afghanistan are also "attempting to maintain an industry".
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I would expect our seal hunt to be the largest slaughter of marine mammals in the world because we have the largest herd of seals to manage. If we had the number of seals the UK does no one would hear of it. If there were never any records kept of the number of seals killed then there is no way of knowing just how "few" are killed. In fact, it is estimated that the UK kills approximately the same percent of their seals as Canada does.
That's right. So why are you continually trying to parallel the British animal control kill of seals with the mass slaughter if baby animals to exploit a fur market. The two are simpley uncomparable.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You will see that the industry aspect of the hunt is secondary after conservation. DFO has already announced that a cull will replace the industry and tax payers will be fronting ALL costs.
.. also you have to consider if the market on seal products collapsed, MORE efficient and LESS humane methods of killing would be considered due to the cost. People forget that the seals would be culled regardless of seal product sales.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Delibean, I think the current methods used will remain if the markets collapsed and a cull replaced the hunt, they are the most efficient and humane. What would change is the monitoring and obviously how much of the seal is used which would be next to nothing.
@BateEstate You're retarded. The majority of the market comes from your own country. Remember, if there is no market, then it's not profitable for hunters to continue. Canadians have never killed innocents in the name of terroitory or control (Need I remind you of Bloody Sunday.) Furthermore, if you are going to state how uneducated an entire country is based on a fraction of a percentage of the population please do a quick spell check afterwards. Thanks Ol' chap.
The premier of Quebec isn't stopping diddly. The activists have stopped it. Again. You can make whatever assumptions about me you want. I prefer it that way.
He calls some of us hypocrites for eating meat. Well that would be a valid argument if the seal hunt were about meat. But as it is the Department of Fisheries and Ocean's own statistics show that in 2007 only 4% of the edible biomass generated by the seal hunt was eventually sold as meat. There is no comparison between the baby seal slaughter and the subsistence industry.
yurgy1 is leaving the same messages on as many seal hunt videos as they can find. First of all he doesn't know anything about the slaughter industry since it's clear that decapitation of the animal occurs LONG before skinning. Since awareness has been raised veal sales have dropped 85% and baby pigs and cows are not skinned and their carcasses left on the prairies of Iowa and Nebraska. Lastly, at least you don't find any of us defending the slaughter industry.
If you honestly believe that, how are you any better then those that do kill the seals maliciously? Seal meat is an important aspect of the Inuit diet along with other populations of the remote Canadian North. Also, the reason why weapons such as guns aren't used as much is because it is difficult to hit a moving target the size of a watermelon at best (the sea isn't perfectly still) from a moving platform. Chances are you're only going to wound the seal.
why do I get the feeling that the biggest reason why anybody really cares about them is because they are cute? Don't you think there are more important causes to be championing? I have to ask you again which you think is more humane; being wounded by a rifle or being killed by a club to the head?
Other issues like world hunger or poverty. No lets worry about animals that are being culled in a federally controlled way. And lets not forget the thousands of people who depend on this form of hunting as income for their families. Look whether being shot or clubbed the animal is dying. Look at deer hunting, when shot many have run several yards before dying. If you really had interest in saving animals you would find a better way to clean up the environment they live in.
NameTaken1000 - In 2006 the average take-home-pay per sealer was $1,100. With 6000 active seal hunter licenses and a total industry dividend of only $7MM, there isn't that much to go around (source: DFO). Hardly anyone "depends" on the seal hunt to, as you say, "feed their families". It's beer money. The only people that make money off the hunt are the politician that prop it up to create psudo-platforms on which to run their campaigns under the guise of "creating jobs". (See More)
(More) If you think the activists that protest the seal hunt are programed little robots that disappear into dark closets from May - February dream on. Those most keen to suffering also endeavor philanthropic causes. Those who think we only exist to protest the hunt are indeed self-interested. Let's do this. The next time your wallet is stolen we'll just tell the cops that show up, "There's more important things to put your time into. What about murder. There's nothing to see here. Go away."
Look whatever the average income of a sealer is, a 1100 dollars is money used to pay, light, water, and other utility bills. 1100 dollars may look like beer money to you but poverty, and low income families see this as a relief. Many facts about the seal hunt are also fictional, and or altered for a more impact affect on the masses of those who otherwise do not care. The hunting of this animal has an incredible amount of regulations than any other. Propaganda is a tool used to recruit masses.
Your point about "It put food on their tables" is not a new one. I've heard it before. Child prostitution put food on the tables of those in SE Asia and other developing countries. So does drug trafficing. The question is, at what point do the moral consequences outweigh the financial rewards. Some things legal disposition does not dictate it's moral righteousness. The only reason the seal hunt is legal is because politicians need it to run their campaign on. (more in #2)
You say that "Many facts about the seal hunt are also fictional, and or altered for a more impact." Many are. Most of my facts and more specifically my facts on active sealer licenses and net dividend can all be found on DFO reports. It's ll on their website. You just have to take the time to look. The mortgage industry in the USA was highly regulated too. Now look. Just because an industry is regulated doesn't mean it isn't abused. The EFSA report confirms that.
You get the feeling because baby seals are cute. Baby cows and baby pigs are cute too. But you don't find industries centered around beating them to death, skinning them and leaving their carcasses strewn all over the prairies of Iowa and Nebraska. If such industries existed you'd find grande opposition to them too.
The Inuit seal hunt and the seal hunt this video covers are two completely different hunts. Yes, the Inuit do rely on seal meat. However in 2007 the white, commercial, Canadian harp seal hunt, only 4% of the edible biomass generated by the slaughter is eventually sold as meat. What do you think happens to the rest? Nothing happens to it. It's left in the water or on the ice to eventually rot and create oxygen poor water. Watch the video "Inuit vs Commercial Seal Hunt" here on YT.
Would you?! Cause if you leave the blood and grey matter on there too long it rusts mighty bad, and I NEVER seem to have the time! :D I could fix you a one of my famous ceasar salads while you work....we both win!
The reason the hunt is allowed is to save the seals (ironically) from depleting the already depleted cod stalks, starving themselves and plunging Newfoundland into worse shape. Please, be compassionate for us humans too. :(
On their very own "Seal Hunt Myths" webpage the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans debunks the myth that harp seals (or any seals for that matter) endanger the recover of the North Atlantic Cod. Seals eat primarily squid and skates (rays), both predators to Cod eggs and newborn Cod. Please read up before perpetuating any more seal hunt myths.
Fuck you dumb asswipes. I am a Newfoundlander. where the seal hunters come from. You ass fuckers don't realize how many human lives you are ruining. All for what? a cute little seal. You don't realize that every part of the seal is used for something. What makes these animals different from other food animals? I'll tell you what. Seals are cute. Why don't you stupid americans frig off and mind your own buisness and stop ruining our lives.
Here is another quote from the DFO page... "the impact of seals on the recovery of cod is complex". That's it. Seals are mentioned. The problem is that you and I could spend the rest of our lives finding quotes to support our point of view.
Actually DFO says the matter has not been settled. As for the EU ban I am sure there are plenty of other markets if the time and effort is put into it. You can now buy seal meat at a few Canadian restaurants and that will likely increase after the Gov. Gen ate some. I fully support the hunt IF A HUMANE METHOD OF KILLING is found and made mandatory.
Congrats PETA (and other animal activist groups) you've single handedly destroyed the Canadian artic environment. The seals only predator was the Polar bear; and as we all know their numbers are shrinking. Now that seal products from the hunt have been banned outside Canada the seal hunt will almost completely end. Without Man keeping the seals population in check, they will over populate and eat more and more fish in already over fished waters. Give yourself a round of applause.
The Canadians forgot to kill the biggest seal out there! Paul Watson is a terrorist and should be treated like one! Tv rating would soar through the roof if that fat bas**rd got shot!

if the seal meat are being eaten, then i think its fine to hunt seals. many people believe seals should not be hunted becuz they're cute. but look at this, we eat pigs and cows everyday, but nobody said its cruel to do so, and becuz y? pigs and cows are not cute.

The seal hunt that this film covers IS NOT the Inuit seal hunt where every last bit of the seal is either eaten or used. Only 4% of the edible biomass generated by the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of baby seals each year is eventually sold as meat. The flippers are on some occasions eaten by the people of Newfoundland/Labrador. It's a hunt for fur that is so unwanted that in 2006 50K pelts were burned when an attempt to remarket them through the Inuit of Greenland was made and failed.

Thanato26. As I said below, baby cows and baby seals are not being killed for their fur alone. These baby harp seals are. THAT'S the big difference. So, unless you're willing to actually eat seal pelts to defend your position, it's best you drop this argument entirely.

A common misconception, you aren't allowed to kill the baby seals, that's illegal.
kloops87 2 years ago
No, the common seal hunt supporter propaganda line is, "We don't kill baby seals anymore." The truth is that Canada does. The 122 p., peer reviewed EFSA Q-2007-118 study labeled the seals that are being killed, those between the ages of 3 weeks to 3.5 months old, as "neonatal" aka: babies. Since 1987 the hunters are merely not allowed to kill "whitecoats" anymore. Those being newborns as old as 14-16 days old. After that, they once again become the targets of the hunt.

The very technology you speak of is part of the reason we are where we are today. Now more technology is needed to make the old "clean and effecient". An electric car is still surpassed by not using a vehicle at all. However, you seem to have missed my point, the point is it is acceptable to live more naturally as that is in a nut shell what living green is about. Those who hunt seals, for the most part, do live naturally but are being critisized for it.

The hakapik has been proven a quick and humane tool to kill seals however only about 5% of seals are actually clubbed, the rest are shot. Starvation is a slow and very painful way to die, starvation also risks the entire herd. By removing a percent of the seals the overall herd stays healthy. The justification remains to kill some to save all.

Fully aware that the majority of seals are taken at The Front with rifles, I have more humanity contentions with the slaughter than just the methods used. I think Watson put it best when he pointed out that indiscriminate killing of baby animals regardless of their fitness to survive can only damage the strength of a species.

Survive? I wish you'd stop being so dramatic. A fraction of these killers living is made off the seal hunt. In 2006 the Canadian seal hunt constituted less than one half of one percent of the GDP of Newfoundland/Labrador. What's more, on an individual level the average numb-skull that does this made less than $1,100 off it at it's height in 2006. Not that anyone would want it, but two sperm donations later and they'd have more money in their pockets than they have from the seal hunt.

Do you not realize how utterly ridiculous your $1,100 figure is? Take a crew of 8 inc. the skipper (boat gets half). At that figure they would have brought in $15,400. In 2006 pelt prices were about $100 which means that crew only landed 154 seals for the whole trip. This year large boats were permitted to kill 400 seals A DAY! I'm not being dramatic. Averages do not speak for individual sealers.
Ersabette 2 years ago
"Allowed to". "Allowed to". But did they? No. Hey, I'm just using the DFO's very own statistics from the very season (2006) you mention. You use assumptions and fuzzy math. $7,000,000 dividend, divided by active licenses (6000) = $1,100. Period. With the 2009 seal pelt market fetching only $30 a pelt that number would be much smaller. You look a gift horse in the mouth. Then here, reap $400 per sealer. No wonder hardly any boats founded it even economically feezable to leave port in 2009.
CoffinCornerX 2 years ago 2
Ersabette said, "Averages do not speak for individual sealers."
That's right! They don't. With averages at $1,100 in a 6000 unit market, how much could those who make a substantial income off the hunt be making? The answer is not enough to justify the negative publicity of public opinion and waste of tax payer dollars spent to support a few (300-400?) stubborn and proud (the worst possible definition of the word) individuals that need to sell their horse and buy a friggen hybrid!

You speak of assumptions and yet you assume all 6000 licensed sealers took part in the hunt that year. Like it or not my math is not fuzzy- that is how the sealers are paid. The 400 seals per day restriction was put into place to slow the sealers down. Obviously they are capable of killing more than that in a day during a hunt that last weeks and you assume over the course of a whole trip they come back with a mere 157!

It was the tax payers that wanted the hunt better monitored, they got their wish. Who did they think was going to pay for it? Living off the land and sea means we do not consume the amount of imported foods that many urbanites do which means less fossil fuel emissions. Eating more wild game and seafood means less from factory farms. Wood is our primary source of heat in the winter, not gas like for those in the city. Wood is eco-friendly.

If I'm not mistaken, the majority of "tax payers" didn't want the seal hunt to take place at all (source DFO). It's kinda like cigarettes in the US. Fewer and fewer actually smoke them, but they kill many, many more than just the smokers themselves. But what happens???

Apparently you were not aware that in your country, the UK, that seals are killed just because they are a nuisance? Seals are permitted to be killed on the spot under the Fisheries Defense Clause - no records of how the seals were killed or how many of them are killed every year are kept and no part of the seal is used. Seems those who you call uneducated take more responsiblity for their wildlife by attempting to maintain an industry.

Although there is controversy surrounding the lethal dispatching of seals as nucense animals in England the amount killed annually is so few that as you say there is no record thereof. For several years in the mid '00's the Canadian seal slaughter qualified head and shoulders above the nearest as the largest slaughter of marine mammals on earth. Those involved in the growing of poppy crops in Afghanistan are also "attempting to maintain an industry".

I would expect our seal hunt to be the largest slaughter of marine mammals in the world because we have the largest herd of seals to manage. If we had the number of seals the UK does no one would hear of it. If there were never any records kept of the number of seals killed then there is no way of knowing just how "few" are killed. In fact, it is estimated that the UK kills approximately the same percent of their seals as Canada does.

If you honestly believe that, how are you any better then those that do kill the seals maliciously? Seal meat is an important aspect of the Inuit diet along with other populations of the remote Canadian North. Also, the reason why weapons such as guns aren't used as much is because it is difficult to hit a moving target the size of a watermelon at best (the sea isn't perfectly still) from a moving platform. Chances are you're only going to wound the seal.

medicboy89 2 years ago
Other issues like world hunger or poverty. No lets worry about animals that are being culled in a federally controlled way. And lets not forget the thousands of people who depend on this form of hunting as income for their families. Look whether being shot or clubbed the animal is dying. Look at deer hunting, when shot many have run several yards before dying. If you really had interest in saving animals you would find a better way to clean up the environment they live in.

NameTaken1000 - In 2006 the average take-home-pay per sealer was $1,100.

Hardly anyone "depends" on the seal hunt to, as you say, "feed their families". It's beer money.

Your point about "It put food on their tables" is not a new one. I've heard it before. Child prostitution put food on the tables of those in SE Asia and other developing countries.

The Inuit seal hunt and the seal hunt this video covers are two completely different hunts. Yes, the Inuit do rely on seal meat. However in 2007 the white, commercial, Canadian harp seal hunt, only 4% of the edible biomass generated by the slaughter is eventually sold as meat. What do you think happens to the rest?

On their very own "Seal Hunt Myths" webpage the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans debunks the myth that harp seals (or any seals for that matter) endanger the recover of the North Atlantic Cod. Seals eat primarily squid and skates (rays), both predators to Cod eggs and newborn Cod. Please read up before perpetuating any more seal hunt myths.

Fuck you dumb asswipes. I am a Newfoundlander. where the seal hunters come from. You ass fuckers don't realize how many human lives you are ruining. All for what? a cute little seal. You don't realize that every part of the seal is used for something. What makes these animals different from other food animals? I'll tell you what. Seals are cute. Why don't you stupid americans frig off and mind your own buisness and stop ruining our lives.

The Animal activist organsations exist because the Yanks feel guilty about the damage they do to the environment.
But in stead of addressing the damage they do, they come half way around the world to attack us here where the least amount of damage is being done.
That is the truth.
They count on peoples ignorance to keep opperating.

Here is another quote from the DFO page... "the impact of seals on the recovery of cod is complex". That's it. Seals are mentioned. The problem is that you and I could spend the rest of our lives finding quotes to support our point of view.

Actually DFO says the matter has not been settled. As for the EU ban I am sure there are plenty of other markets if the time and effort is put into it. You can now buy seal meat at a few Canadian restaurants and that will likely increase after the Gov. Gen ate some. I fully support the hunt IF A HUMANE METHOD OF KILLING is found and made mandatory.

Congrats PETA (and other animal activist groups) you've single handedly destroyed the Canadian artic environment. The seals only predator was the Polar bear; and as we all know their numbers are shrinking. Now that seal products from the hunt have been banned outside Canada the seal hunt will almost completely end. Without Man keeping the seals population in check, they will over populate and eat more and more fish in already over fished waters. Give yourself a round of applause.
