Seal clubbing is murder - plain and simple. And it is high time that Canada joins the ranks of enlightened countries.

We're boycotting all seafood from Canada. We're boycotting all food and products from Canada. We're also going to be boycotting all coverage of the Olympics from Canada too. We're not interested in spending any of our hard-earned money to help the cruel, vicious, and brutal people who beat baby seals to death for no reason.

I am #157! People who do this can't cut it as a normal human, so they have to be sadistic idiots to try and cover up the fact that they are incapable of being a MAN!

After having checked the facts I see no reason to kill babt seals, Here follows a statement from the Norwegian Ministry of Foregn Affairs:
"Dependency on the mother"

The length of time the young are dependent on their mother is very short; it is only a matter of five or six days from the time the hooded seal pup is born until the mother leaves it to fend for itself. The harp seal suckles its young for less than two weeks.

As soon as the suckling period is over, the mother leaves the pup to fend for itself. Norway does not permit hunting of seal pups during the suckling period.

Produced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Reproduction permitted. Printed in February 2001.
And here comes a statement from CBC News in Canada:

Don't seals eat cod?
Yes, harp seals do eat cod, among other things. But both sides now appear to agree that seals and cod can coexist. In March 2005, Greenpeace called on then federal Fisheries Minister Geoff Regan to "dispel the myth that seals are hampering the recovery of cod stocks." A letter from Greenpeace said, "the DFO has been a partner in perpetuating this myth."

But the DFO says sealing opponents are setting up a straw man and then knocking it down. The federal government says anti-sealing groups are wrong to suggest that it's allowing the hunt to help cod stocks recover.

"The commercial seal quota is established based on sound conservation principles, not an attempt to assist in the recovery of groundfish stocks," the DFO says. "Seals eat cod, but seals also eat other fish that prey on cod."

So I've signed the petion and Will forward it.

For how long are we going to ask nicely for this killing of babies to stop.

Monday November 9, 2009, 10:45 am
the dfo says just what the government tells it to say as far as i am concerned they are all a bunch of crooks.

Monday November 9, 2009, 6:05 pm
On the positive side we only need 38 more sigs to reach our goal of 500. I know it's "only a petition" but at least we're trying to stop the killings!!
