First off: stop looking for those "sad videos". They're not sad. they're sicka dn twisted.Sphax wrote:i have more of those sad videos .
Example how people take the fur off of beasts.
or even the slaughter that happens in america with the sealions
really cant understand why Canada allows such things since i live in EU i dont really now how u live in the USA or in Asia but
why?
Second: the "slaughter" of seals in Canada is carefully controlled. Animals are not skinned alive, they aren't tortured. They are shot. Period.
To clear up any misunderstandings you Europeans have about the seal hunt:
1. it happens ONCE a year, for a limited amount of time.
2. they kill fewer animals during the seal hunt than are killed in a month of "normal" meat production in Europe.
3. Seals that are killed are direct competitors with other animals, and with people, for the limited fish supply that exists in northern waters at this time. see note .
(note: if you want to talk about limited fish supplies, start first by examining European fishing behaviour in Canadian coastal waters.)
4. and despite the LIES being told by braindead idiots like the members of PETA, there are NO sealpups killed during the annual seal hunt. PETA has the unfortunate habit of LYING to people in their videos, showing white-coated baby seals, and saying that THOSE are what is being killed. It is a federal offense to kill a whitecoat. NO seal hunter would dare risk losing his livelihood by doing something as stupid as killing a whitecoat.
Now, once you've digested that information, think about this:
Do you eat pork?
Do you eat beef?
Do you eat chicken?
Do you enjoy a good French pâté de foie?
If you do, then you are participating in considerably MORE inhumane treatment of animals, much of which borders on torture.
Before judging a short-lived, heavily government-controlled, animal cull (which is what the Canadian seal hunt is), and the people who participate in it (a few hundred hunters/fishermen), stop and look at your own eating habits.
And before saying that you're vegan and that humans should be only eating vegan, also stop to remember that humans are omnivores. Not vegetarians. We aren't "supposed to be eating vegetables only". Meat is a normal and necessary part of our diet.
