Parliament wants Canadian Olympians to protest EU seal ban
Proculation @ Fri May 08, 2009 1:59 am
It's only interest groups that are making pressure on the government and disinforming. Like the animal activists at PETA and other vegetalian groups. They are using seals as a symbol because they look cute.

It is a dying Industry. Just work to replace it already. Too much energy is being expended in keeping it alive.

According to the Industry Canada link up, the revenues are increasing.

Doesn't matter. EU Bans and general Opposition will eventually kill it.

Like it or not, this industry is going the way of the seal hunt.

Athletes shouldn't but the olympics always has been used for politics though.
Well then what they should do is hand our seal skin winter jackets to all attending nations
and conviently loose their lugage at the airport. Air Canada can take care of that part, they seem to be good at it.Better yet,fly them through Yellowknife,I can guaranfuckingtee their bags wont arrive at any airport for a few days after they do,if their winter clothing is in those bags they will have to go shopping and guess whats available? Fur.
Like the reporter they sent to the arctic for the iconic drowning polar bear shot last year,he got stranded with no winter gear and after about a week of flying around in furs with a bush pilot he wrote a whole different story for his magazine.
There was no mention of global warming,drowning polar bears,melting ice caps or seals.
He saw the real thing and not the fearmongering on the net and TV and did a total 360.
We should send some politicians up there for 2 weeks.

Who's buying them though?
Does it matter? If they are being bought, does it matter who is buying them?
Just wondering if Europeans are buying them yet are most vocal about banning them. Kind of contradictory don't you think? Seal industry in Canada. When's the last time you wore your seal skin loin cloth?
Indeed, it is pretty contradictory.

The writing is on the wall. It is inevitable that this Industry is finished.

Finished and brining it 15 million + dollars every year and feeding 6000 people. Amazing.

What is amazing is that you'd have them continue on until no one buys their Product anymore. It's time to move away from it, it is a dead end.

Seal parka's are awesome,same with the mitts and boots.
I told the boys up north if they could ship me the finished product I could sell them as fast as they arrived.I could have sold my mitts a hundred times over this winter,people see them and they want a pair.

He should get out more often,some Canadians still like their fur.
In some former Hudsons Bay stores which are now called the northern store,you can find the racks of fur just down the aisle from the quads,snowmobiles and rotisserating caribou meat next to the deli.
I used to take home what I could.
There is still a fur trade,lots of the guys I worked with were avid hunters and it's quite the deal they have to go through with the government to sell wolf or any other fur and its like the wheat board,once a price is established at the auction and the furs have been priced on their levels of grade the bidding starts and it's mostly Euroweenies doing the buying.
