When I watch all these hypocritical celebrity activists protesting the Canadian seal hunt, I am abhorred by their lack of compassion for those most loveable of God's creatures, fish. Millions of innocent salmon and cod are murdered every year by seals, one of the ocean's most voracious predators. This callous malice by celebrity activists each year have helped drive down the demand for Canadian seal products. As demand has fallen, the fisheries stop harvesting seals. What happens? Seal populations suddenly explode, and fish stocks suddenly collapse. Well done celebrities, your lack of understanding for the balance of nature has thrown nature out of balance.
I remember when they scrapped the bear hunt in Ontario. Bear populations exploded and started spilling deeper into civilian centers. Instead of earning revenue selling licenses and allowing this economy to serve a place in nature, the government now has to spend more money to control these out of control populations. So we are going to give lady seals birth control? Why don't we staple their stomachs while we are at it so they stop killing so many innocent cod?
"those most loveable of God's creatures, fish."
ReplyDeleteI believe PETA now calls them,"Kittens of the Sea".
Seals eat a massive amount of fish and sea lions eat even more. I was working on a project right on the Fraser River a few years back,and we used to sit on benches by the river for coffee and lunch breaks.
We noticed this huge sea lion lying on a dock about 100 yards away. He'd flop off the dock and feed on BIG salmon,the coho were running at that time, and he'd dive down and come up with a big salmon about every two minutes. We viewed him through binoculars and could see the fish were over ten pounders, and he'd eat half a dozen in fifteen minutes,then crawl back onto the dock and rest.
Eat, defecate ,rest,that's all he did all day, almost as bad as a Senator. I'd estimate he'd eat 30 big salmon a day, or even more.
Every year,I cheer the sealers, as they put their life at risk to harvest some of those eat- and- shit machines.

Btw, in your poll question "which news service,CTV or CBC", you forgot, "None of the above",which I would have voted.
ReplyDeleteIf those two were my only choices, I'd give up on TV permanently.
