“Dolphin Hunt vs. Canadian Seal Hunt“
“1) Most dolphin species, including those hunted by the Japanese, are endangered. “

“2) The seal population in Canada is holding steady at 5.8 million and seals are considered abundant. “

NOT IN NAMIBIA, THEY ARE SOON TO BECOME ENDANGERED THERE – THEY CONTRIBUTE TO THE ECO-SYSTEM

“3) Dolphin meat is considered harmful to humans due to high levels of mercury and it is discouraged to eat it. “

GREAT!! BUT THEY ARE STILL KILLING THEM!

“4) Seal meat is fine to eat, and is encouraged in cold climates because of the energy stored in seal fat. “

DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE WAY THEY ARE KILLED IN NAMIBIA

“5) There is no other use for Dolphin's then meat, which is consumed by very few people in Japan, Figi and the Soloman Islands. “

THEN INHUMANE TO KILL THEM THE WAY THEY DO – WHY BOTHER??

“6) Seals provide fur and oils and are a source of food for many different countries, including Japan, Korea, China and Canada. “

DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE WAY THEY ARE KILLED IN NAMIBIA. THEY ARE STILL KILLING THEM!

“7) The sale of Dolphin meat does not contribute noticeably to the Japanese economy. “

THEN WHY BOTHER KILLING THEM??

“8) The sale of seal fur, oils and meat earns an estimated 16.5 million dollars a year and employees 11,000 Canadians. “

DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE WAY THEY ARE KILLED IN NAMIBIA – WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT CANADA HERE

“9) Dolphins are killed by slitting the throat of the dolphin, this causes the dolphin to die slowly and in agony. “

SO WHY ARE THEY KILLING THEM? THIS IS WHY THERE ARE PROGRAMS IN PLACE + PEOPLE AS IN THE VIDEO CLIP MAKING THE WORLD AWARE… JUST AS THEY ARE TRYING TO DO WITH THE SEALS IN NAMIBIA (NOT CANADA) – LET’S STICK TO THE SAME PAGE…

“10) Seals are killed by a hakapik, which if use properly kills the seal instantly. People using the hakapik improperly are fined and risk jail time. “

DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE WAY THEY ARE KILLED IN NAMIBIA

“I could go on. “ IT SEEMS…

“The fact of life is that people kill animals, for food and clothing. I have no issues with that, since I enjoy meat and eat it daily, as long as the animals are not endangered and killed humanely. The fact of the matter is that PETA, Green Peace and other organizations have greatly exaggerated the seal hunt in an effort to make it look worse then it is. If people realized that the seal hunt was really no different then the slaughter of cows, sheep, chickens or any other domestic animal they would find no support. “

“For the most part these organizations are blowing hot air, most of them can't be bothered to send representatives past the St. Lawrence to the far north (which the Canadian Government patrols) because of extreme weather conditions, and actually end up harming more seals then they help by bothering the hunters and getting in the way. As Don said, the only white coat killed in the last few years was by a Green Peace van.“

BEEF, LAMB & OTHER MEAT…. THESE ANIMALS ARE SLAUGHTERED IN CONTROLLED SLAUGHTER HOUSES, AND THEY DO NOT SUFFER
DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE WAY THEY ARE KILLED IN NAMIBIA
THE THREAD HERE IS: THE CLUBBING OF SEALS IN NAMIBIA
I REPEAT… LET’S STICK TO THE SAME PAGE…
