First off, killing baby seals (white coats) is illegal in Canada and no Sealer wants to go to jail or be fined heavily for the act. It's been a LONG time since a baby seal was killed deliberately on the seal hunt.
Second, the Seal Hunt is a $17 million industry. I've seen anti-Seal Hunt groups claim "we should scrap it because in comparison to the entire sea food industry, $17 million is nothing and isn't worth the lives of these seals". Obviously people against the Seal Hunt have no idea what they're talking about and root their arguments in propaganda, not fact. Given the cost of living in rural Newfoundland, that $17 million (as most of it goes to Newfoundland) is a helluva lot of money. The hunt is a crucial source of income for families in NL that are on the brink of poverty.
Let me ask all the anti-Hunt activisits, what do you think is more important - saving the life of a seal, or having a human family be able to pay for their groceries and make a decent living? If you say the seals, kindly go shoot yourself as you don't deserve to be alive.

Officials say the population of harp seals is now five million animals, triple what it was in the 1970s, and it wants the number reduced to 3.8 million.
Ottawa says the cull protects depleted fish stocks and provides jobs in the economically depressed eastern province of Newfoundland. The province's cod fishery collapsed a decade ago and some fishermen says seals were partly to blame.

If the seal population gets too large and fish too scarce there won't be much to boycott. Then we can report on the mass starvation of seals and show pictures of these cuddly seal pups emaciated and dying on the ice flows at which point our now non-existent seafood can be boycotted because we refuse to help the starving creatures in case people get upset with the method we use to put the starving animals out of their misery.
Or even better pics of starving newfoundlanders.. Pics of thier kids needing clothes and food cupboards bare of food... When will these freaking tree hugers get a life and go drive thier gas guzzeling SUV's back to Cali where they come from and leave us alone..

Totally agree R.H.
NFLD's culture has been ravaged by the banning of the seal hunt and the overfishing by Canadian and foreign vessels. Nobody cares about the families who have lived for generations on the Rock and have tp leave to find work. I can't see the difference in eating seal and making stuff out of their pelts to eating a chicken burger and wearing leather shoes. Besides the cute factor and that's what its all about.
NFLD culture is probably the most distinctive in Canada besides Quebec. It would be a great shame to see any more bad stuff happening to the them.

Years ago when I was in the merchant navy we sailed to Long Harbour with phosphate for the Erco plant which has since closed.. Since then I have served with newfoundlanders and more recently had them as tennents in the apt block i managed.. Not a finer bunch of people you could ever want to meet.. guys are here in Alberta working up in the tar sand and for suncor etc,,, Nearly all of them are either helping or directly supporting families back home.. Hard workers, hard partiers.. A person is allways welcome at the home of a newf, even if they barely know you, they will invite you in to share what they have be it beer..lol or a good meal.. popular misconception,, they are far from stupid or as some refer to them canadas hillbillies...

These activists make me sick. The people NEED this hunt for two reasons. First is the short term gain of badly needed cash. Secondly, the long term goal of rebuilding fish stocks. These same activists would shake their head and say "Canada has done nothing to rebuild the fish stocks" if the cod are completely wiped out.
Who has the right to tell these people they can't buy food for themselves and their families? Are the activists willing to make donations in one big pot to ensure these families don't starve, or freeze to death? No, they'd rather show the world pictures of white coat seals up close, and then a blurry picture of a hunter "savagely" chasing a grey coated seal. Then people watching tv, while eating their frozen turkey dinner, loosening their leather belt, and flipping off their sweat-shop made running shoes can mutter to themselves "some things just ain't right, you know?"
