Who else thinks this is cruel? I only wish the hunters had fallen through the ice and drowned……bastards. :evil: :evil:
linkGrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:
not nice at all :twisted:
cant click just incase its horrid, but yup 100% agree. Totally unnecessary and cruel. :twisted:
So everybody is foaming at the mouth over the annual culling of seals …. but it is called a “cull” for a reason. …. because there are simply too many of them. If they weren’t ”culled” their numbers would grow out of all proportion to the stock of food (i.e. fish) upon which they feed …. nature would take its course and they would die in their many hundreds of thousands.
To prevent this and to control the seal numbers the Canadian Government has permitted the culling of 275,000 harp seals out of a current population of 5,500,000 – only 5 percent – and 8,200 hooded seals out of a population of 600,000 – only 1.36 percent.
So basically there are over 6,100,000 seals in the Gulf of St Lawrence area – culling a total of some 283,200 seals is a drop in the ocean (as it were).
Of course the animal rights fraternity (in between hugging trees) will throw their collective hands up in horror screaming cruelty etc etc – but the fact is that it is a necessity in order to allow the remaining millions of seals to continue living.
Bullshit and you know it! It has nothing to do with overcrowding :shock:
They are killed primarily for their coats. At £25 quid a go. That’s how the hunters make their money.
If it was not for their coats they would be culled in a humane and acceptable fashion (though I doubt it).

Mind you, if they used bullets I suppose the environmentalists would complain about sound pollution and discarded bullet casings, eh?
Id clubb the hunters over the head, without giving it a second thought!!
and feed them to the seals.

There is no way to describe how bad I feel about this situation, on TV the otherday, there was a program about it, I felt sick to the stomach.
There are too many polish in Nottingham but we don’t cull them do we? :twisted:
