It’s interesting to read the variety of comments regarding the subject of the killing of innocent and defenseless creatures who have done no harm in their life but to exist. It’s funny that nobody proposed beginning a “hunt of the seal hunters”; it sounds more fair; naturally this extends to the fox hunters too (no offense to have left them for last). The only problem is that their skins are of much poorer quality; the meat, however is full of protein; careful about the by products, they stink a bit.

Seals are not hunted for profit in Iceland, some seals are shot when they hunt salmon in rivers etc, but they are more or less left alone

whales are hunted in Iceland, the only company allowed to hunt whales got a quota of some 150 fin whales and didn’t fill that quota, they still have all the meat in freezers, if you trow a rock into the sea it will bounce off a whale or a seal before landing in the sea, no place on earth takes better care of its wildlife than Iceland,
the only threat to seals and whales is Icelands possible EU entry, if we join the EU the Spanish, Portuguese,
French and British fishing fleet will be here fishing like there is no tomorrow,
this will be the end of seals, whales, fish and sea birds etc, fish is the key to life in this area, unfortunately most environmentalists are ignorant shallow minded short sighted and really not that interested when you think about it.

Now – the facts!

Seal hunting is condemned worldwide. There is no humane way to kill a seal. The vast majority of people in Europe have welcomed the ban on ALL seal products into Europe earlier this year.

The people on this blog who think that hunting a wild animal is fun obviously also hide a perverse and sadistic tendency to harm any defenceless being – and need to see a doctor and get urgent medication …. (and English spelling lessons).

I think the hypocrisy displayed by the IFAW is despicable. They haven’t hunted the “white ones” since 1987 in Canada, and 98% are killed in a humanely fashion per the Veterinary Society.

The truth will set you free, not propaganda from one side of the fence criticizing an equally biased source of propaganda on the other side. It’s INFO WARS people!

I have read several comments from men. It seems that these guys are on some kind of drug or should be. We are not God we don’t have to right to say what lives or dies. Due to man’s carelessness so many species have gone extinct. The only over population is man. This is barbaric and uncalled for. I am a Canadian and resent the fact that the government with no respect for the rest of Canada will go ahead and do this slaughter. I feel that this decision should decided with all Canada. The government doesn’t give a crap about these people if they did, then they would find other resources for their income. The government only wants more money in their pocket. Rose

@Government Subsidized Extreme Barbaric Cruelty

You are missing the point of the seal hunting.
Enjoyment!
It is more about the journey than the destination.
A grand day out, father and son male bonding.
Let the hunt continue.

P.S
Still in the uk the wealthy hunt foxes on horses with dogs(although there is a ban)
Is this cruel?
Does anybody eat the fox?
Is the fox pelt used?
I think the answer to all is no.
BUT ,still fox hunting continues.
Why?…..Because the wealthy think that they are above the law and that fox hunting is a grand day out!

All sea men hate seals because they bite the fish only to get the liver, they are also full of worms
but sweet and gentle animals, feel free to pet them and give them a hug, just be sure to sneek up to them before giving them a kiss because they are so shy.

one thing to remember for the monsters who shoot seals, divers can look alot like seals, be sure before you pull the trigger :)
