It's not as if it was intentional BN. Syncrude didn't get the net put on in time.

   

It's an offence, and I don't think intent (mens rea) is an element of the offence. Hopefully they will be charged and the puntiive measures will be larghe enough to be a deterrant to this company and to others.

   

I didn't say it was intentional - their pond still killed a bunch of ducks, and if people would just accept that and let them face the consequences, this wouldn't have been dragged out this long.

   

Gee thank's sorta funny....the other day, I got called a liar here, by one of the self proclaimed enlightened progressives, when I reported witnessing shithawks (seagulls) reduced to a shower of feathers by the luddites wet dream....the Port Burwell wind farm.

   

This article is right, take into account all the other things that kills way more animals and people and don't even get a single attention, or a single fine. This is ridiculous.

Also Blue_Nose I think his point was that everybody is getting all pissy about 500 ducks that landed in it, without the corporate even wanting that to happen. Everybody screams murder to them, and wants to punish them for it but while the same people have not yet done the same regarding the seal hunts which is 1000000000 times worse. I mean, its fucking dispicable that something like this will get so much attention and hate from the people and the government while the seal hunt still goes untouched.

What happened with the ducks is a factor of life, they landed in the pond and the company diddn't force them to go in there. They had things to try and prevent the ducks from going in there, but they apparently backfired. It's good that the Government are making measures to prevent it from happening again but the fine was ridiculous. That fine should go to the seal hunters for every baby seal they hunt. Grown up seals are fine, although I rather they found a much better way to kill them. They really got to hunt the young ones too? That's not a hunt, it's a slaughter. (Seen videos, and pictures).

   

Yeah, so what? If I sprayed my lawn with something that killed my neighbours dog without "wanting that to happen", does that mean I'm just off the hook?

If they were required to keep the ducks out of the pond, then they're responsible for keeping the ducks out of the pond. They're not responsible for giving it a decent attempt, or doing it when they can get around to it. They didn't do that, so they got fined, end of story... at least, it would be if everyone would just get over it.

It's not comparable to hunting seals, or any other animal. Your tired "they're just babies, it's a slaughter" rhetoric would earn you and RUEZ a spot on Paul Watson's boat, but it doesn't hold weight with me.

   

Hey smart guy, I never said I was against the seal hunt did I? I guess the death of animals in the pursuit of money is only ok when it's not done in Alberta.

   

Are you trying to argue that the deaths were an inevitable consequence? I was always under the impression that they didn't get the deterrants out in time.

I guess defending the irresponsible acts of billion dollar companies is only acceptable if they're from Alberta.

   

Who's defending oil corporations? I think the death of these ducks was senseless and the company should be dealt with. My point, which I think you've missed entirely, was that the outcry for these dead ducks seems overblown considering what we do to other animals in the pursuit of profit. For instance the seal hunt.

   

   

Lily if you can find a post of mine that shows I've ran off and joined the circus on this site that argues politics 24 hours a day, then I’ll apologize to you. Hey, if those people want to do that, it's fine with me. I find it a bit boring myself. They probably think arguing about a hockey game a bit boring also.

Guess what my intention was when I posted this cartoon

   

The seal hunt is a cull more so than economic gain for a few individuals.

By your reasoning we should stop eating meat.

The deaths of those ducks was not necessary and clearly avoidable.

   

Then why not just shoot them rather then bash them on the head?
How the hell do you come to this conclusion? What I've said, and I thought I was quite clear, was that the disgust directed at the death of these ducks seems overblown considering what we do to other animals in the pursuit of profit.

I don't disagree with that, never have.

   

Oh, I'm shocked. Did you drop the *f* bomb. Good thing mommy didn't see that.

But thanks for demonstrating to all here what a lightweight you are.

   

a dead animal killed for food is called the life cycle, a dead animal caused by a companies complacency is a crime.
