I have looked at both sides of this for years and do not condone the cull regarding fish etc or inhumane methods of lessening the herd..as far as I’m concerned the fisheries had no vision, but one thing that always comes up is the cute white pups you see in the pics – how old are the pictures you see in the UK? Culling whitebacks was banned in 1987. Check your media also for Norway, Greenland and Russia.
This is absolutely true ‘fek’ but you will I am sure recognise that piccies of ”innocent” fluffy white seal pups make a far harder inmpact – which is why the Media deliberately conspires with the activists to produce this propaganda.
After all why let the facts get in the way of a good sstory???
Indeed!
Arent the facts that we kill seals (or whatever other species we deem necessary) to protect commercial fishing and not because the poor little things breed too much and were just trying to help

Yes i think that you’re right – but only partially so.
Of course fisheries have to be protected and nearly 6 million seals can scoff a whole lot of fish – leaving substantially less for humans to eat. Yes the fisheies are commercial (i.e. a profit is made on catching and selling them) but then you’d hardly expect them to be run at a loss or even as some sort of charity.
But also there is a substantial market for seal meat, seal blubber and seal skins. This is the main economic source of income and provides a means of living for the Inuit peoples as well as a number of other similar groups that live in that part of Canada. Deprive them of this and they are doomed – as nearly happened several years ago.
bottom line is that if the seals aren’t culled annually, their numbers will rapidly expand out of control to the detriment of Canada’s economy and fisheries, as well as that of everybody who relies on seal products.
