Hidden Cameras Expose Canada's Shame

In reply to the callous poster that pretended sympathy for the extinct Carribean monk seal to somehow make Canada's bloodbath seem acceptable Canada is in the business of extermination. Canadians have driven a dozen species to extinction on the East Coast and the corrupt DFO is INTENT on doing the same to the harp seal John Efford the former Fisheries Minister stated publicly he wants to see every last seal killed and even DFO propagandists admitted the seals would be reduced by 70 by 2015 right before authorizing insane quotas for their 2009 massacre. It's amazing the euphemisms DFO propagandists use like "harvest" and "industry" as if seals were just crops or automobiles to justify the bloodiest most savage and barbaric massacre of wildlife on the planet with massive consequences for the environment. For what? So that a small mafia can earn around $400000 in the offseasonthe net revenue this year because of the EU ban and no buyers last year it earned a pitiful $6 million while bilking their own taxpayers for $30 million in support and three quarters of a billion dollars lost in seafood boycotts or around $300 apiece for each thug that spends the remaining ten months on public welfare instead of working like honest Canadians do. Add to that the unsold pelts which stack up in government subsidized warehouses alongside unsold pelts from last year. Pelts are at $12 this year because of the European Ban and no buyers. That means virtually no profit for the 2000 thugs that take part which is why most of them stayed home this year. The seal population is dropping like a rock a catastrophe has been occuring where seal nurseries have disappeared because of ice loss due to global warmingeven DFO propagandists admit at least 70 of the seals will be gone by 2015. The people who take part in this crime are traitors to Canada willing to destroy other fishermen's jobs and sacrifice trade relationships which earn thousands of times more than this mafia crime. Seals are not livestock they are part of a complex ecology where seals eat the predators of food fish like skate and squid. Those predators eat food fish like cod and their minnows and eggs so when sealers kill the seals the predators are rampant and the vast populations of fish that Canada destroyed by 1992 have never recovered. Sealers are antiCanada and even antifishermen and have no qualms about destroying Canada's future and their own fishing communities for greed.

michelle It it selfish when natives or innuit kill anaimals to live.

Logan Your informative article do not justify the seal hunts and two wrongs don't make a right. The extinction of the monk seals is no wrong doing from PETA or any animal rights group so instead of posting this on here why not write an opinion to your local newspaper editorial expressing your anger towards humanity for killing off yet another specie for pure selfish greed. Thankyou.

Finally a Canadian rock star lambastes the seal hunt. Why nothing from KD Lang Bryan Adams Neil Young Leonard Cohen Joni Mitchell or Jane Siberry or Rush?
