Default Seal hunt begins; IFAW bears witness

This crap against seal harvesting is obviously posted by
professional agitators employed to erode Canadian sovereignty. It is
all emotive argument and propaganda, with no basis in reality.


_That's_ emotive argument and propaganda, with no basis in reality.

Seals are part of the food chain.


Not ours. And besides, this slaughter is for fur, not food.

Humans eat seals.


If it's truly essential for survival, that's another matter.

Seals eat fish.


Human's want to eat fish. Humans trawl, humans take too much.

Seals carry the worm that kills codfish and others.


If that's true, how do the cod catch it from seals?

They are
predators in competition with humans,


No, humans have decided that they are predators, and take
from true predators.

and need to be harvested in
reasonable proportion to the fish we harvest to eat,


Humans need to eat from our own natural dietary niche-
raw fruits, succulent fruit-like vegetables, roots, shoots,
nuts and seeds. Then we can leave the rest of the animal
kingdom in peace, as we ourselves would wish to be.

if the natural
balance is to be restored.


It will be- when we realise what sort of animal we are.
