IFAW is trying to save and protect innocent animals and baby seals!! The methods in which these innocent seals are slaughtered are absolutely horrible! Whats wrong with a group of people trying to protect and save animals!! I think you are all being the extremist freaks!

the sealers who will be out of a job, they can find another eventually and after researching this issue they are plain downright bastards! Stop thinking humans are so much more better than animals! Think about it!

We as humans create problems for ourselves such as starvation, poverty, homelessness and so on. We are sucking the planet dry of every natural resource there is, we are causing species to become extinct by over-killing what is needed, and most of it becomes wasted anyway. We create enough problems for ourselves, it is unfair to create problems for the innocent animals that live their lives the way they are supposed to unlike us. Animal cruelty can be stopped along side selfish human problems.

The sealers who will be out of their job can go and find another job that doesn't involve killing something.

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.

"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."

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.

[Dravenesque]

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.

[Dravenesque]

Hardly.

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

[Dravenesque]

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.

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