I betcha that this Pearl creature is a huge fan of Peta as well... Would
explain some of the gross stupidity being uttered here, nothing but a
bunch
of regurgitated garbage.

Best way to cure all those idiots over there who moon over pretty little
baby seals - GIVE THEM ONE!
Then you sit back and wait until the little precious grows into 600 pounds
of mean, nasty, fish slurping blubber. If I was in charge of the
government's PR campaign I'd start up a program to let brits adopt harp
seals. Just pay the shipping cost and we'll send you as many as you want!

Tell me, how do you feel about the current Peta poster campaign in
Canada?

Since I'm not from BC and don't have any children involved all I can say is
it's in extremely poor taste and shows just how few feelings or empathy
these morons have for real people.

"He says the decline in cod stocks is due to overfishing. "There is no
scientific evidence to suggest that harp seals impede their recovery.
That doesn't mean that they aren't - it's just that there's no evidence
to suggest they are," he told New Scientist."

Said Lavigne, not Reid.

Sorry, should have been; 'Said Efford, not Reid'.

Darn- I will get this right. ...

'Said Lavigne, not Efford'.

You're either in denial, or brainwashed by pro-sealing propaganda.

Why? The proper, and best, place for these seals, is where they are
now. You'll be more than compensated for leaving seals alone, with
increased tourism and commerce revenue, not to mention goodwill.

I don't know what campaign you're speaking of, but I'll say this;
What goes around, comes around. Your actions show an utter
contempt for wildlife- for life, and that's what you can expect back
from decent people, and life, until you begin to show some feelings
of empathy for other living creatures. Don't blame me- wise up!

The goodwill of ignorant Eurotrash? Who wants it? Who needs it?

Nope. Just an utter contempt for shallow, phoney, so-called
environmentalists.

And you know what? We HAVE wildlife! Where's yours? Oh yeah, IT'S DEAD! You
SLAUGHTERED IT ALL!
You EXTERMINATED all your wildlife! Now you're snivelling to us about how we
should be taking care of ours? There's well over five million seals in that
one area, you moronic British knob. So it seems to me they're in no danger
of extinction.

Unlike the tens of millions of fish they consume EACH AND EVERY DAY.

But you don't give a damn about the fish, because they're slimy and ugly.
Oooo! Oooo! look at the pretty little baby sealllss! Ooooooooo! They're so
ccuuuuuuuuuttte!

Sorry Miss Eurotrash, but we don't base wildlife management decisions on
which animal is the *prettiest*.

We'll take care of our wildlife a hell of a lot better than you did yours.

The people who fight the seal hunt probably eat meat laced with drugs,
wear synthetic clothing made from non-renewable resources, and whine
about air quality while driving their SUV. Get real.

(can.rec.boating removed as this has nothing at all to do with Canadian
boating and these diatribe shouldn't ruin a nice newsgroup)

You're in Ireland. Take a trip to the west coast and ask the fishermen
there what they think of seals. Go to Glengariff and take the tourist
sealwatching trip to Garnish (sp?) Island, ask the boatman how much he earns
from tourists in the summer season and how much he would earn from fishing
all year round if he were allowed to shoot those same seals.

Tourism pays minimum wages and it's seasonal. Few work in the sector by
choice.

Cheeri,

Tell us, moody. And based on what? What he *thinks*?

Ask the same people that have sworn to not go to Canada because of the
seal hunt whether they would if the hunt was stopped, and if they'd like to
go seal watching when they did.

estimated $12 million in revenues from pelts, meat, and oil.'

Scottish ministers consider seal cull
Monday July 16, 2001
The Guardian
...
Cara Brydson, a marine campaigner with the International Fund
for Animal Welfare, said a seal cull would be cruel and counter-
productive. Ms Brydson said seals preyed on fish which ate other
fish so a drop in the number of seals could also result in a drop in
the number of fish.

She added that a cull would devastate seal-watching trips in Britain,
which generate around £36m in tourism revenue each year.

Of seals? They don't like them. You can go and check if you like, there's
a regular bus from Dublin. They'll take you out to look at the seals for
EUR6.50; go on, they need the money.

Experience. They used to shoot them.

You'll have to, I've never met anyone with that stance. Of course most of
the people in the Irish (or any other nation's) Tourism Industry can't
afford transatlantic sealwatching holidays - Irish sealwatching pays too
little.

Oh, they aren't going to kill them all. There will be a few left for the
watchers.

Cheerio,

I refuse to leave Canada for Europe until you bring back all of the
game animals killed by your ancestors centuries ago. And when the
Brits get out of N Ireland, when France is polite, German sloppy and
the whole stinikin' mess wakes up to terrorists. That noise you keep
hearing, the explosion of bombs set off by Muslim terrorists, that is
the alarm clock. Go ahead, keep hitting the snooze button. Spain has,
France is next on the to-do list by al Qeada
