Because baby seals are cute!!

Really...that is why people are offended. Cows though, hell yeah! They taste delicious.

You hit the nail on the head. This is exactly why people are offended. I have being saying this for year. In Canada, cod are being overfished in the same region as seal are being clubbed. Why no one protest for the cod? Cod is an endangered species, seal is not.

Can I ask a couple questions? My intent is not to offend. I for one understand the economics and culture of where you live. (I'm a spud)

What are the primary reasons (markets) the seals are killed now a days? How much of the animal is used? Just the pelt? Is there a lot of waste of the meat?

At what stage of the seals life span are they harvested? Is it just the young pups or any stage that is of value?

Just curious.

You have to understand that internationally speaking the seal hunt has a brutal image and support is dying out. Just saying

Its because celebs don't make a big fuss about everything else. They are clueless to what they are even protesting. Paul McCartny Thought he was in MY province talking to our priemier and he was in P.E.I. Shows how much research he actually put into the matter.

I dont reaaly know enough about the ins and outs of seal clubbing, but i do understand that in different parts of the world, there are different animals to eat. We breed cows, sheep ect to eat, im sure we`d find it crazy for another country to come to ours and tel us how and what animals to eat. Who am i to go to china and tel them to stop eating dogs. my daughter and i went to visit my dad who lives in geneva, and they eat horse like we eat beef. I used to have a pony when i was a child, but i wasn`t at all screemish or worried about eating horse at all, because that is what they`re bred for. In fact i thought it was a much more tender and tasty meat than beef, and if that was sold in this country id probably buy it regulally. What i dont agree with is the cruelty that happens to the animals. if i knew that an animal was treated humainly throughout its life, i wouldn`t have a problem eating or using the body. its the care that i think about, not if they`er cute or not...

I completly acknowldge teh fact that they are killed for fur and killed as pups and that its a hard site to behold, don't get me wrong. With that being said, its no more inhumane than any other kiilling of animals. Its not just the pelts being used, I have eaten enough meals of seal to confirm that trust me. These people rely on this income to get through the year and support their family, its not pretty and glamorious but its a way of life. As long as there is a market for fur its gonna happen.

I'm pretty sure the seals are harvested for their pelts primarily. Unless you live in the extreme arctic and are of indigenous decent. Then they use pretty much everything, right down to dog food.

So what about it? Good for yourself and people who support it, bad for seal and who oppose it. Nothing less or more. If you were trying for conversation for ex. like this:

" I support the stereovoyaged hunt." .My reply would be eventhough I would not like to taste it but I'd see if my pet does.

As a member of PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals), I see no problem with killing and eating other different animals and using their hides to make jackets.
I mean, do sharks and crocs sit around and worry about whether they're eating too many humans?
We are animals, they are animals, and it's called nature.

I think if people want to boycott eating animals, that is fine. Don't mess up my day if I want to eat meat or wear fur or leather. You have made your point and made it well. I would add that there are species on this Earth that are thriving only because of the money and culling operations that HUNTERS provide. The PETA people are worse prosyletizers than religious nuts IMO.
