"Millions and millions of dollars are being spent on fighting quote unquote this issue, there are a lot more pressing issues in the world to worry about - animal welfare issues - than a fairly small hunt of an animal that isn't endangered. As long as it [the seal hunt] is done in a humane way, it almost seems like a waste of time and money really."

the only conection you need with a seal is your hand on the handle of the Hakapik on its head

And you're 22 years old, which pretty much proves why you made that comment. Uneducated, inexperienced, high-strung little boy who's hopped up on testosterone, trying to be a man. Let's see you try wacking someone like me over the head with your "Hakapik." It would be the worst mistake you'd ever make. Only a coward goes after an animal that isn't capable of fighting back. That's your legacy: a pussy.

1- i may be 22 years old but as far as Uneducated and inexperienced i would disagree, Ive forgotten more than you will ever know... plus your 42 fighting for something you've no clue about... find a new hobby.

2- the ferrule of an average hakapik is 340 g mounted on the end of a 145 cm wood handle the weight to length ratio states that you would not be doing any fighting after the first hit.

3- your attempt at character slander proves I am the bigger man. have a wonderful day

See, you'd have to actually score that first hit, and that would never happen. Hence, the worst mistake you'd ever make. No more arguing. Hush.

And lastly, "man" means having a set of balls, not chasing after animals that can't fight back. "Man" means going after something that has the potential to rip you a new one. You aren't that person, clearly. *Sigh*....just another rage-induced youngster with something to prove...only to fail miserably.

I am truly embarrassed to be Canadian. This is a disgusting, barbaric, needless load of crap. Most Canadians HATE this seal hunt, yet our dumb-ass government does nothing to stop it, even though we've been asking them to stop for years. We need EVERYONE all over the world to sign petitions. You can find them all over the net. PLEASE HELP STOP IT!!!

This is not true of Canadians. Its a source of income for many eastern Canadians. Killing any animal is a brutal act, we need to get over weather or not it was a cute animal as the deciding factor on what we get angry about. The seal hunt shouldn't and won't stop, rightfully so.

You dont understand. Theres a thing called game-keeping, In Norway theres so many seals there eating up all the food. Therefore other species, including seals, are either moving to new areas or die from the lack of food (Ive seen this first hand). To prevent this from happening we hunt the dominant species so both the plants and the other animals can get some breathing room. Game- keeping has been were successful in many other countries including Norway.
