KILLING ANIMALS IS A... SUB HUMAN ACT.

NOT HAVING HUMANITY FOR THE VOICELESS IS A...SUB HUMAN ACT.

Threatening another human is not only immature but it is a chargeable offence here in Canada...I hope they catch who ever is doing this.
Loving animals is fine,,,but this sort of thing is not. Again as I have stated in my many comments regarding this subject..animals are killed every day so humans can survive or whatever...Cows chickens geese ducks lambs goats pigs they are all slaughtered for one reason or another. This is not going to stop as long as their are humans on this earth. Unless everyone becomes vegan and that is not about to happen. Immaturity like this is just that immaturity...

no killing means for everything and everybody. protesting doesn't have to have violence and threats to get the point across. more harm than good will come out of that. think before you act.

Killling is killing no matter what. yet I do believe in Karma.. They need to listen to the messages. I don't think they should be threatened though. Educated fully yes, not threatened.

What you also have to add to the equasion is this is their jobs. For some the only job they can get. No different than people who work in butcher shops and places where they process animals for meat. I believe the only difference here is is seals are cute....which is in my opinion an invalid reason to yell and scream about them and ignore the others.

HERE IS STORY BELOW ABOUT THE ABOVE SEALERS CHARGED:

ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — Four sealers are facing charges in Newfoundland courts for failing to properly check if the seals they shot were actually dead before they were skinned.

Federal Fisheries Department spokesman Jerry Walsh says 17 charges have been laid against the four men for allegedly violating seal hunt rules in April 2007.

The sealers have yet to appear before the courts, and their names and hometowns weren’t released.

The sealers are being charged under a section of the marine mammal regulation dealing with the type of weapons used to kill the seal, and a so-called blink test that sealers are required to carry out before skinning the mammal.

The rule requires the sealers to touch the seal’s eyes after it is shot to ensure that it is dead.
