I will refute every argument that the anti-sealers will come up with:

-Seal hunting is cruel, bloody, inhumane and barbaric.
Farm animals and other ENDANGERED animals get killed in a much more brutal manner than these seals.

-The baby seals are innocent and shouldn’t be killed.
All the other animals that America and McDonalds slaughter are also innocent. Whitecoats (baby seals) are illegal to hunt now.

-I’m vegetarian so I’m against all animal slaughter.
Well too bad America is a country full of obese people from eating Mc Donalds and a tiny fraction of vegetarians don’t mean a thing.

-Humans are terrible creatures and don’t deserve to live.
Then go kill yourself.

-We’re in the 21st century so we shouldn’t kill animals in barbaric ways.
Look at the farms in America or your own country. They cut the throat alive and bleed slowly to death.

In conclusion, all against the seal hunt for the reasons above are hypocrites and stupid at best.

This is nothing more than vilification and branding for cash at the expense of real environmentalism.

I support the sustainable sealers.

Now is ecorazzi going to come clean about any financial ties it has to the animal protest industry organizations?
Nothing else can explain pushing vilification and the commoditization of compassion against a demonstrably sustainable and humane local harvest or an abundant renewable resource.

The “eco” in ecorazzi is clearly mere window dressing.

Whoever said:

“Does “stunning, checking, and bleeding the seals” sound humane to anyone!?”

Actually, yes it does! Stunning renders the seal unconscious and therefore unable to feel the blow from the club. The sealer checks to make sure the seal is actually dead, then bleeds the body (which makes absolutely certain no seal is skinned alive). The sealers also have to go through a two week vetinary course on correct technique before they are let lose on the seals.

The slaughter technique is certainly comparable to that used by the commercial meat industry and a wild caught seal is going to have a much happier life than any intensively farmed animal.

I think some of the people who commented are rather distanced from nature. As a top predators, seal populatations are kept constant largely by finite food resources. Up to a limit, every seal killed is freeing up fish for another seal that doesn’t have to starve.

I would be much more supportive of a campaign against battery farming, but I suppose chickens, pigs cows etc just aren’t cute enough.

Thank you
