Canadian Sealers Admit To Horrible Crimes in DFO Seal Hunt Testimony - Part 2
Apr 14, 2009




CANADIAN SEALERS ADMIT TO COMMITTING CRIMES in TESTIMONY OBTAINED UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT:


Canadian Seal clubbers kill seal's babies, they admit illegally killing bluebacks (baby seals), Seal killers violate the law, they kill pups, seal hunters killed foetuses, Sealers killed pregnant mother seals, they killed parents and left the babies stranded with no mother's food, they killed the mothers and dumped the baby who cant swim yet, into the water, they watched seals drown, they cut them open without making sure they were dead, they cut open & scalped ones that were still moving, they KNEW it was illegal and gloated that observers weren't around and so they could get away with it and kill and mutilate them and dump them into the ocean and get rid of the evidence. They used illegal weapons, squirted mothers milk all over their boat deck, sliced into the mothers' uteruses, sealers go illegally into the whelping grounds which is like a man going into a nursery and bludgeoning babies, which pro-sealers deny but you see below they admitted it is true, under testimony and obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.

Note: These acts show a past history and Pattern of behavior of Canadian Sealers. It is important to note, these acts were perpetrated AFTER the 1987 whitecoat law, making the killing of whitecoats a federal crime. This means, that if any sealer uses the line "We dont kill babies anymore" they not only did, but they were caught and admitted it under testimony. And this is when observers *could* be present to document. Today, the Canadian govt has a law prohibiting you (the world) from watching them closely enough now, so with no one watching, Sealers now have no one around to check for this type of criminal act! Sealers admit to the DFO paid observer throwing evidence overboard. This is the study where the DFO reported seals are killed 'humanely'. They put observers on board the ships, of course the sealers KNEW they were being observed, and passed illegal weapons behind the back of the observer, and they admit that the DFO paid observer threw away evidence.


CANADIAN SEALERS TESTIMONY

OBTAINED UNDER THE ACCESS to INFORMATION LAWS:

The following is direct testimony from sealers, taken by Department of Fisheries and Oceans staff. It was obtained through Access to Information laws, and contains graphic descriptions of animal cruelty. To date, seven charges have been laid as a result of the investigation, but only one had resulted in a court hearing.


IMPORTANT NOTES!

* The use of 22 caliber rifles to shoot seals has been outlawed for humane reasons - the guns are not powerful enough to kill seals quickly.

* When mothers are killed and their newborn pups abandoned on the ice, there is no chance of survival for the pup. In every case, the baby seal would have starved to death slowly.

Imagine the smell of Canadian Sealers


CANADIAN SEALER: "Prior to March most females were killed with the pup inside them. I seen seven pups threw over the side after the female was pelted. I took two out myself. Me and another sealer even agreed that this was shocking and there should be another way to hunt seals. We were in the whelping on March 10/98 because I observed that eight of tens pans of ice had young pups with the after birth and other debris from the birth on the ice. There was once I can remember the young seal watching his parents being hoist aboard. He watched the boat as we steamed away. The pups were not killed but left by themselves on the ice." Sealer's statement, taken by Fergus Foley, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, June 10



CANADIAN SEALER: "I did see some mother seals killed and the pup fall out on deck still alive. (Deleted) told me to throw it overboard and I did. It crawled up on a pan of ice. The mother was full of milk, the milk ran out on deck when the pup fell out." Sealer's statement, taken by Cyril Furlong, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, June 24



CANADIAN SEALER: "I was present when female Hood seals were pelted and did see pups fall out of the female on deck. I seen this happen twice and know that it happened eight to ten times during the first trip. I knew this happened because of conversations with the crew. The two pups that I saw on deck were alive. The pups were threw over board and on one occasion I did see one of these pups swimming in the water. I don't know what happened to the pups." Sealer's statement, taken by Cyril Furlong, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, July 3, 15:33 hrs



CANADIAN SEALER: "I seen a female being pelted and the pup came out of her when they cut her open, the pup was dead. This seal was killed for a while. This was on the day we got one hundred and seventy. Someone passed the comment, 'If Green peace were only here to see this.'" Sealer's statement, taken by Fergus Foley, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, June 22, 15:15 hrs



CANADIAN SEALER: "We did take female Hoods and leave the pups on the ice. I was on deck when a pup fell out of a female Hood seals and I pelted the seal along with two other crewmembers. I can't recall who they were. The pup was alive when it fell out. I killed the pup and threw it over the side." Sealer's statement, taken by Fergus Foley, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, July 6, 3:51 pm



CANADIAN SEALER: "We were hunting for adult seals and on several times we took the old seals and left the pups on the ice. The Hood seals pupped while we were out there hunting. We did take seals before they had pups on one occasion. I did see a pup fall out on deck while the female was being pelted. This pup was alive and it was threw overboard. The pup was alive and swimming in the water. The pup crawled up on the ice." Sealer's statement, taken by Cyril Furlong, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, July 6, 11:11 AM



CANADIAN SEALER: "My job was pelting seals and using the gun. I was present when the female Hood was being pelted and young pup fell out of her onto the deck, This happened eight or ten times. There were lots of comments made for example, 'If we only had a video camera we would make a fortune' and 'We should never be allowed out killing them'"



CANADIAN SEALER: "There were lots of times that the male and female were killed and taken on board and the pup left on the ice, sometimes the pup had blood on it as it was just born. We had approximately five hundred and fifty seals for the trip, approximately four hundred were hood seals of which at least one hundred and fifty were females."



CANADIAN SEALER: "The seals were always in a net bag in the speed boat, when they were hoist on board there were numerous 22 caliber rifle casings among the seals. They were often kicking around the deck of the longliner, I seen the observer Rex Hodder pick them up and throw them over aboard. He had to know that the 22 guns were being used. They even make a different sound to the heavier gun. There was an effort to hide these guns from Rex Hodder. They were passed down through the vents in the engine room. They were kept in cases while in the two speed boats. We landed something over three thousand seals fro the trip. We got in somewhere around the 21st of April, 1998. I don't think that the 22 caliber rifle is powerful enough to kill even a beater seal. I often seen seals alive after we hoist the seals them out of the speed boats. We would finish them off with a hakapik." Sealer's statement, taken by Fergus Foley, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, June 24 19:40 hrs



CANADIAN SEALER: "All the females we took, the pups were left on the ice. The pup was left on the ice after the female was killed and taken on board." Sealer's statement, taken by Fergus Foley, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, July 14



CANADIAN SEALER: "Sometimes he told me to kill the make and female and sometimes to kill the male only. The pup was always left. It seemed he told me to kill everything when seals were scarce. Sometimes the seals were not that old because there was blood where they were born."



CANADIAN SEALER: "At the end of the day everyone would lend a hand pelting seals. There were two or three cut out of the female while she was being pelted, they were killed and threw over aboard. There was a lot of talk as to weather this was right or a good thing to be doing. Everyone was aware of it."



CANADIAN SEALER: "The best day we done, we took approximately one hundred and eighty. We wee taking make and females that day and this was towards the end of the trip. There were a lot of pups around and they were all left on the ice. The following day we killed some females that were accompanied by the male and pup."



CANADIAN SEALER: "The four of us were present when the pups were cut out of the female, (deleted) were aware of this also. We had approximately eight hundred seals for the trip and about one quarter or better would be females." Sealer's statement, taken by Fergus Foley, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, July 10, 19:15 hrs



CANADIAN SEALER: "During the second trip we left fifteen or twenty pups alone after taking the family. There were mistakes made by killing pregnant female hoods, this happened approximately six times but they never came out on deck. I am an experienced sealer so I knew they were pregnant. We were not saving the meat so the pup went over aboard with the carcass." Sealer's statement, taken by Fergus Foley, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, August 11, 16:50 hrs



CANADIAN SEALER: "There were a few occasions when we took the make and female Hood seals and left the pup on the ice. I observed on two occasions for the trip pups falling out of the female while being pelted on deck. The two pups I observed were alive and were thrown over the side. I seen these pups crawl up on the ice after we threw them over aboard."



CANADIAN SEALER: "I probably killed three to four hundred seals with the 22 caliber rifle…There was conversations between the skipper and myself and the crew to make an effort to hide the 22 rifles from the observer." Sealer's statement, taken by Fergus Foley, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, June 29, 10:45 hrs



CANADIAN SEALER: "After the females were pelted and pups fell out onto the deck the pups were thrown over the side. I did see a couple move around in the water behind the boat. They appeared to be alive and swimming. We watched a seal that came out of the old one on deck try to get up on a pan of ice. It did not get up to my knowledge. This did bother me to see seals flapping around in the water and trying to get up on the ice." Sealer's statement, taken by Fergus Foley, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, June 28

So, If you ever see Sealers, or Sealing Advocates, or articles or officials stating any of the following myths or lies, or users commenting on the internet, you are now armed against them with the truth:

To Anyone who attempts to say that sealers Dont go into whelping grounds, this testimony proves that Sealers admit to it.

To Anyone who says they don't kill babies, this testimony shows that Sealers admit they do kill baby seals.

To Anyone who tries to quote the DFO sponsored "seal hunt is humane" study where DFO escorted observers went along on board sealers ships, can now be shown that study is a fraud, there's admission above that they passed weapons behind the backs of the DFO hired observers, and even the DFO-hired observers got in on the act of throwing baby seals bodies overboard, and even observers participating in the act, tampering with, and getting rid of the evidence.

To Anyone who tries to say the seal hunt is for the meat, above they clearly admit they garbage the meat.

Here is the Evidence sealers stood by and watched them drown. This debunks the myth it is humane.

This also debunks Anyone attempting to bring up 'slaughterhouses' to justify the seal hunt. Slaughter houses DO NOT have what is called "struck & lost" animals! This means, that in the seal hunt, these sealers may either club, or shoot an animal that slips into the water, and it is wounded. This means that animal continues to suffer. Hours, days, who knows how long. That act does not happen in a slaughter house. That situation does in fact happen in the Canadian Seal Hunt! And therefore it can Never compare in the same way to a slaughterhouse, Slaughter houses do Not have struck & lost animals. And thus the Canadian Seal Hunt can Never be certified as humane. It is inherently inhumane.

The above testimony also debunks the myth that it is well-regulated. These violations were allowed to continue.

And this testimony reveals conspiring between the crew, and the so-called DFO observers, all the way up to the Sealing captain.

2. Post about this in your blog, copy the text about it and forward it, tell people, go on youtube and defend against the disgusting killers & butchers posting on there, repost our kind bulletins via your myspace, post this on your WORDPRESS, on forums, anywhere you can.

3. Write, call or phone your government officials, and tell them to reaffirm the Laws against these killers. And to mobilize enforcement authorities against these slaughterers.

4. Boycott Canadian Seafood. Boycott Canadian SnowCrab, Boycott Canadian Scallops, Boycott Canadian Lobster. If you eat seafood, stop. If you are already vegetarian, then tell others and get them to stop eating Canadian seafood. Everyone should tell grocery stores to stop purchasing it from Canada. If you go to restaurants, tell the waiters about it and tell the managers and owners to stop buying seafood from Canada. Tell them these same sealers are also some of the fishermen supplying their seafood, tell fishermen to take care of their own, in other words if they allow sealers then they are going to get boycotted, if the fishermen that don't butcher seals resolve to stop the sealers, then they would not be complicit in seal killing. Until then, these fishermen are known to back, allow, and condone these sealers, even stick up for them, and have sealers all among them, so they are going to get boycotted unless the fishermen realize that they need to reverse that and take a stand themselves against sealers and cut out the cancer and stench of the Seal hunters they have among them.
