I find it funny that the group based out of England/ Ireland cannot get

the
people of ireland to stop fighting each other, maiming and killing

humans,

We're at least trying.

but are willing to try dammaging the way of life for some Canadians.

They do
this by stating Canada isn't following European law. Maybe he should

look
up where Canada is on a map.


The objection arises because of the cruelty, which is an obvious
serious breaching of humane conduct. Humanity everywhere is
objecting very strongly, and your refusal to listen harms you too.

Here's a hint. It's part of North America, not Europe. These people who
struggle to make a living in a repressed economy are not subjects of
England, not subject to European law and well within their rights to

perform
their harvesting.
Work toward saving people from harm before destroying the livelyhoods of
others.

'In 2001 UK tourists spent the equivalent of 1.026 billion Canadian
dollars - this is a massive source of income to Canada. Whereas the
seal hunt, by contrast, is a volatile industry and although accurate
figures are hard to come by it is estimated to be worth approximately
only Can $6 million.

The hunt is actually heavily subsidised by the Canadian Government
and when the subsidies are taken into account it is worth closer to just
Can $3 million. '

- Boycott is a predictable enough reaction.

Are all cans as naive and gullible as you appear to be? it would
explain an awful lot.

Boycotts don't work. Never have and never will.


Certainly do. I have saved over £300,000ukp in ten years by boycotting
Canada, not to mention I would no longer be moving there on
retirement.
Which is a real big shame as we used to look upon Canada as the more
civilized of the continent.

NOT any more, people think of Canada today and what do they see, state
sponsored animal abusers. Still, at least you're proud of it, me I'd
prefer pride for something nice.

You must be so happy to have saved so much money! It's too bad that you
will not be able to come to Canada and enjoy the feast of the delicious seal
meat. It is so good! The money you saved, is it from donations? I see
that you have asked for donations from the gullible English.

Canada was known for many things before, culinary delights were not
one of them.

I worked and owned property in Canada, visited three, four times per
year on holiday and employed 17 Canadians.

I now don't and yes save a fortune.

I see
that you have asked for donations from the gullible English.


I have?

Mmmmmm, fresh seal meat. I like it even better than I like fresh bald eagle
meat.
