seal hunt update ( Archived) (12)

Hi all,
I posted a stop the seal hunt petition and it looks like so many people signed it as I got this newsletter from thier website just now which you can see a copy of here

Dear Ben
Over the past few weeks, the world has watched in horror as Canadian sealers brandished clubs and rifles, brutally slaughtering thousands of defenseless pups, most only a few weeks old. As you read this today, the commercial seal hunt has moved northward where the killings will resume -- with sealers allowed to kill 275,000 seals this year.

Because of your support, we have achieved many landmark victories in our campaign to save the seals -- and our efforts are reaching a critical mass. This year, it is clear the end of the seal slaughter is finally in sight.

so I just wanted to say a BIG thank you to everyone who went on the link and signed the petition I know it does say the seal slaughter is finally in sight but I feel like we still have a long long way to go and for that reason

Thanks everyone
Ben

Three cheers.....

Hi ya, Ben..!!! That's good news indeed and its thanks to you and those like you with your well-intentioned hard work!!


Thanks for raising further awareness, my friend!!

Hi roseofsharon,

Indeed... keep up the good work and don't be afraid to keep us updated!!

Dont you worry hun soon as I get updates you'll be the first to know about it I promise you that

Hey, good for you. I hope you don't like fish. If the seal population is not controlled, you will not be eating fish anymore. Maybe they could hunt them in a more humane method, I agree, but they still need to be controlled.
Is it because they are cute, that everyone has a problem. It is like when I see a can of tuna that says it's dolphin friendly. What about the freaking tuna?
Maybe you don't see it as a food source, but I know plenty of people who depend on this hunt for survival. Do you like to go shoot Bambi every year at hunting season? If you had said whales, I would agree. They do not deplete a huge food source, and the oil can replaced by newer products.
Please don't send me a bunch of hate mail. I deplore killing of any kind.

I agree with your point...I don't like killing anything either...just because it is cute and cuddly looking..I also will not even kill an ant or snake...I used to set off all my dads rat traps...bad girl

I am the kind of guy who bought a bb gun to kill a rat that was in the bird feeder. It has never been fired. But for the fact I put food out, It would not be there. Oh god, I thought people would send me death threats over earlier post. Thanks .
