What does one have to do to become a Canadian Senator? I would second Senator Harb’s bill without hesitation. P. M. Harper, please nominate me to the Senate!!!
We will win this war. The seal hunt will end. It is just a matter of time…

Dear Senator Harp:

Please check the last paragraph at the beginning of this article. In that paragraph it is noted that you support the seal hunt.

All you good people PLEASE sign the petition that Senator Mac Harb has set up to end the Seal Hunt. You can google IFAW or the Senator’s site. Let all your friends know and pass the message on. I phoned the Senator’s office in Ottawa and they are counting signatures. Also, please take a moment to email the Prime Minister’s office urging him to support the bill to end the brutal hunt. Thank you from the seals who cannot speak for themselves.

In the words of Dr Albert Schweitzer, Nobel Peace Prize winner in 1952:
“We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace.”
Right now, the only thing the whole world recognises is that the Canadian Government condones, indeed, SUBSIDIZES, this reprehensible hunt every year.

Keep up the fight Mr. Harb. You have most “GOOD” human kind on your side. We have to protect all animals from human cruelty. People who can kill like this have NO SOULS!! How can you sleep at night MC Canner and all you other seal hunters?? Hey MC, you should take up spelling like your other colleagues. Seal hunters, change your job and do something kind and decent for once in your life. Otherwise, you may start having nightmares of your children being clubbed, hooked, dragged and skinned alive.

Melissa, judging by the garbage I read on CBC, CTV, and even Answers Yahoo and Airliners.net I think you’re right. Just about every contributor trotted out the usual garbage “it’s humane” “well regulated” “it’s a tradition” “we don’t kill the baby seals anymore” “why aren’t you worrying about the millions of people suffering in Africa” “animal rights groups are only doing it for the money” “they’re misinformed” unfortunately all these contributors were Canadian. Very disheartening.

Thanks you senator for trying your best to get this bill passed. I really don’t know what’s wrong with the other senators for not seconding your motion. I hope that you contiue to try and help the seals in the future. It is hard to believe that Canadians as a group support this horrible slaughter. I am not very proud of my country in this aspect. A very selfish complacent bunch.

I read something quite farcical, in an old travel guide about Canada. “Efforts to make the baby seals a tourist attraction (as with whales) have only been marginally successful, and killing them is a better option.” I set fire to that page and thought how utterly ludicrous. OF COURSE people will go for it. Seal pups are close relatives of the dog, and if people will PAY THROUGH THE NOSE to see whales THEN I DON’T SEE WHY THEY SHOULD MIND PAYING A LOT SEEING SEAL PUPS. GET YOUR F**KING ACT TOGETHER CANADIAN BEARAUCRATS I THOUGHT THE LIKES OF AMANDA VANSTONE AND PHILLIP RUDDOCK WERE BAD BUT YOU MAKE THEM ALL LOOK LIKE SAINTS.

On behalf of the majority in Canada and for all animals that have no voice, I thank you Senator Harb. In the same note, I am incredibly disgusted by the remaining Senators for their lack of respect for life, for their inhumanity, and for NOT LISTENING TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS!!! WE DO NOT WANT THIS SEAL HUNT…it is wrong…look at the rest of the world…we’re suppose to be the best country in the world to live in, and we’re a disgrace because of one thing…THE SEAL HUNT…everyone else has or is banning the seal hunt…gee, I wonder why??? BECAUSE IT IS CRUEL, INHUMANE, and WRONG!!!! Senators and MC Canner…how would you like someone to take a knife, club, hook to one of your children while the whole family looks on, and rip their skin from their bones…while they’re still alive??? How does that sound? THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THESE ’sealers’ ARE DOING TO 200,000 living, feeling, loving, emotional animals every year…animals just like us…animals just like YOUR children. GROW UP, SMARTEN UP…and do what the majority of CANADA is freaking screaming at you to do…END THE SEAL HUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May God bless you Mr. Harb. PLEASE do not give up your quest to end this savage and barbaric atrocity that gives all Canadian’s a black eye and causes the world to look at them as an uncivilized disgrace to the world.
