(email i just recieved from the International Fund For Animal Welfare)
http://www.ifaw.org
In less than 4 weeks a seal hunt will be raging on the ice fields off Canada's east coast.
This is the largest hunt for marine mammals in the world.
We at IFAW have been on the ice fields during the annual hunt ... heard the cries of the seals ... seen them desperately try to scramble away ... only to be shot or bludgeoned to death.
This is a bloodbath that must be stopped. If you were to witness it personally, your heart would break.
IFAW investigators have documented hundreds of acts of animal abuse and violations of Canada's criminal code - seals beaten with clubs, baby seals impaled on hooks ... even seals being skinned alive.
I need you to flood Canadian embassies around the world with protest. Tell your Canadian Ambassador you are outraged by the cruelty, the unsustainable killing and the waste.

I am with this guy. Its really easy to get all sanctemonious and shit. Its easy for people to say they feel that this kinda stuff is bad. But then you find out that actually acting against these kinda things require energy...
I feel that animals do deserve just as much respect as people. And I give them that respect. What do I say when people mention that a bunch of people have died? "Nature is a naturally violent place... human being being a product of nature are naturally enclined towards violence. Its all part of the natural ballance."

well, i think that some people in a certain nation who commit questionable acts such as these doesn't denote that all the citizens of that nation are "damn".
but i would respect hunting if it was conveyed by survival motives. those particular hunters as discussed are abusing their human power and should be questioned.

Americans have always liked the idea of hitting little white things with wooden sticks, haven't they?

in that case, maybe nutrients should be synthesized in solutions and then injected directly into our bloodstreams so ethics wouldn't be disturbed :þ
