The Canadian Seal Hunt - Catherine - 04-10-2018 It is that time of year when the ice floes along Canada's east coast runs red with the blood of baby seals. The first time I saw a movie showing the hunt was in 1965. I was horrified and I was sure as a compassionate country Canada would soon stop the hunt. Sadly it has not happened. http://www.hsi.org/world/canada/work/protect_seals/facts/about_seal_hunt.html?&country=CA¤cy=CAD&utm_source=googlegrant&utm_medium=cpc&ea.tracking.id=googlegrant-cpc-CA-Canadian-Seal-Hunt&utm_content=Canadian-Seal-Hunt&gclid=Cj0KCQjwnqzWBRC_ARIsABSMVTOYNrg-zDCx70PoDmMlnyujg8YZe-0XCMBJRK7-BYAjf6-vsx4ZeQgaAsbyEALw_wcB Once again we sign petitions to end the slaughter. https://www.change.org/p/justin-trudeau-stop-the-canada-commercial-seal-hunt-don-t-seal-their-fate The hunt is defended because it is supposed to be a source of income for east coast fishermen. However the seal market is declining every year. https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/04/wildlife-watch-canada-harp-seal-hunt/ India joins many other countries in banning Canadian seal products. https://globalnews.ca/news/4129047/india-seal-fur-skin-ban-canada-seal-hunt/ If no one wants to buy the seal skins, why do we still kill the seals. Isn't is a stupid kind of stubbornness that makes us cling to the hunt because we have been doing it for a long time. We don't even eat the seal meat ourselves or any of the other products. They may be trying to create a Canadian market, but it isn't catching on. For 52 years I have watched with horror as the seal hunt continues. How many more years will it be until we end the brutality and become a more compassionate country. |
