The article below was received by me today from the Humane Society who campaign relentlessly for an end to the largest genocide of animals in the world today. If this doesn't make you ashamed to be called a human being, nothing will. The Canadian government government are letting a small amount of dysfunctional inbreds dictate to the world. This has nothing to do with culture, nothing to do with necessity but everything to do with barbarism, genocide for fun and outright greed, whatever the suffering or cost.
These :censored: Newfoundlanders and their parliamentary mouthpieces should be confined to history. I wouldn't mind picking them off with live ammo from a helicopter. They are a cancer on the humanity of mankind. They make our Countryside Alliance look like a buch of naughty schoolboys.

The HS report
Just before dawn this morning, the annual hunt for baby seals began in Canada. Over the next few weeks, 275,000 harp seals will be brutally clubbed or shot for their fur. Many people believe that Canada ended this hunt in the 1980s, but it's still happening -- right now.
That's why the sealers don't want us here with our cameras rolling.
For four years, Humane Society International's ProtectSeals team has stood its ground as Canada's extraordinary harp seal
nurseries are transformed each spring into bloody killing fields. The sealers have rammed our cars, smashed our boats, and
brandished the very same clubs that they use to kill baby seals -- all in a vain attempt to intimidate us.
Then yesterday, Canada's government took an unprecedented step >:( >:(: It refused to issue hunt observation permits to our team -- and to journalists -- in time for us to document the slaughter this morning. This means that sealers, if they have reached the seals
by now, are killing baby seals without witnesses. Which is exactly what they want.
Watch our video to see what we're up against. It's hard to watch (and you can skip it if you prefer). But it shows why we'll
remain here, steadfast, until Canada ends this barbaric hunt for good. Exposing the hunt is the surest way I know to stop it
forever.
Your support is essential. We are closer than ever to putting a permanent end to this atrocity. Markets for seal products are
closing -- in recent years, ten countries have either ended their trade in seal products or announced their intentions to do
so. - The European Union is considering a ban
- Prices paid to Canadian seal hunters for seal skins are falling
- ]And more than 3,500 businesses and half a million people have pledged to avoid Canadian seafood for as long as the commercial seal hunt
continues, providing a strong economic incentive for the Canadian government to stop it.
As another year's slaughter begins, watch our video now -- and then please make a donation to sustain our team on the ice and
end this hunt once and for all.
The sealers don't want us here, but with your support, we'll continue the fight until the cruel hunt ends.

Just heard on news a boat has over turned in the Canada killing fields killing 4 men, aww bless.
-
I saw that as well and thought what goes around............
-
Karma :)

There must be something really wrong with me,for as long as I can remember I have signed petitions, written letters and every year broke down crying over this barbaric act, but try as I might I cannot be pleased that these men have been killed,surely some innocent children are missing their dads now.
-
Sorry but I cannot have one bit of sympathy for these barbarians. When I read things like the comment below.
"Just metres away from us, conscious seal pups were sliced open. They were dragged across the ice with boathooks. Injured seals were left to die in stockpiles of carcasses."
You could say the same thing about any other murderers who are locked up or executed for their crimes.
-
Guess it depends on whether you believe in "An eye for an eye"
My thoughts are for the families of those men.
I know exactly what they do, I keep updated with it all.
-
I really do believe in an eye for an eye and was looking up the various versions of it last night. I have 100% contempt for them.
Looking at other forums, they don't seem to have much sympathy from anyone - as one person summed it up -
"If they weren't out there killing... they wouldn't have been killed themselves. Karma indeed..."
-
They are nothing but murdering evil :censored:.
These seals deserve respect. They DO NOT deserve to die.
The ones doing it - call it a job - they are open murders, I and many others would love to do the same to them. I find this heartbreaking and totally uncalled for.
