Hunting is Barbaric!
Okay, you can call me a bleeding heart liberal if you like, but how can an enlightened country like Canada permit the semi-annual “baby seal hunt”:http://www.ifaw.org/ifaw/general/default.aspx?oid=21446 to go on? It’s just sickening.
Last year, more than 300,000 baby seals were clubbed or shot. And why? For their fur, which is in demand in China, and the few other countries who still permit the products of this gruesome event to be imported. Thankfully, the US prohibits import of such products.
The Canadian government says the “hunt” helps local fishermen to survive. That’s agricultural subsidies. Come on folks! If there’s not a market for what you do, go do something else!
Clubbing baby seals. Geez.
