Even ignoring the arguement of whether fur is wrong or right, clubbing is still cruel. You can kill an animal painlessly without damaging it's fur- you don't need to cruelly bludgeon it to death. You also don't need to kill defenseless babies. Seal clubbing is barbaric and wrong.

People dont eat bears- Why hunt them?Is it needed to kill them? I don't believe so... people don't usually eat seal so... why hunt them?
People have been hunting a long, long time. I dont care what they do as long as they do not kill too many. Killing baby seals is stupid though.

Not all of canada is rich. These people that go seal hunting typically don't have an alternative. Plus if the seals were left alone they'd over populate, eat all the fish and endanger the fish in these seal regions.
Bottom line is no one would care if the seals weren't cute. Except animal extremists. He is doing this for a publicity stunt.

But hes a moron. Talking about slaughter? Dont make me laugh.
I dont think animals should be beaten to death, but I dont think their bitching is going to do anything about it.

Enforce regulations on killing them. Enforce the amount allowed to be killed each year. Impose penalties on people violating these restrictions.
Paul Mccartney is a hypocrite.

Sorry but shooting baby seals and letting them drown to death isn't fricking humane. How about I go around your house and do that to your siblings?
It's sick.

If shooting them could be reinforced- get rid of that $2 rule, then it could work for the best.

For some of the poorest fisherman, it probably keeps them able to feed their kids while it isn't fishing season.It isn't necessary to kill them though. For fur?

Well it brings up the other matters:
1. Are seals over populated? -I know your site says they aren't but that would link on to point number 2...
2. If there wasn't seal hunting- how badly would the fish market be affected?
3. Do seal hunters have any choice- I mean really- are they doing it for no reason- or because they need money to feed their own families?
It's a mixture of facts and opinion overall I reckon- I like what Pyke said earlier:
Bottom line is no one would care if the seals weren't cute. Except animal extremists.

Basically putting animals on the same line as us, I'm not an animal extremists, but just because they can't talk or defend themselves, doesn't mean we can't treat them decently?
I mean what about the mentally retarded, the disabled, the old and the sick?
If animals become over populated, we cull them. Apparently the seals are not, so there is no need for a cull. The fish market COULD be affected, but that's not entierly the seals fault, cod is now on the brink of extinction because of over-fishing.

In that case don't cows have rights? Chickens? Pigs? Fish? We kill them a lot more and they don't even get to live in their natural habitats and are quite often stuck together in miserably small living spaces. How do you feel about veal? What about a big mac, or a nice piece of chicken? People kill all of those animals as well and they certainly don't need to be culled. They need the money to feed their families. I guess they don't don't deserve the same rights as a seal though.So basically if I need money to feed my own family, you would assume I become an assassin?

But still I wouldn't put money to stop animal mistreatment when there is so much human poverty in the world. Some places they may be like that because the people put themselves into that situation but in many many other places that money can do lots! I have seen the effects of donating money to this cause with my own eyes. For those of you who have not travelled to a "3rd world" country have no idea what poverty is.

Ahh but those animals are BRED for food, if we didn't kill them and eat them, there would be a over population of those animals. I don't mind animals being killed for food, as long as it's in a humane way. I don't agree with animals being locked and treated badly, that's why I always get free-range or organic food if possible.
Veal I think is sickening, as it taste horrible. But I have no problem in people eating them for food. Fur is a luxury and isn't needed, I think anyone who wears fur should be shot, and I offer to wear their skin for a day. Blood, intestine and all

Hahaha.
Clubbing the shit out of animals isnt the smartest stance though. I'm no hippie, PETA member, or in love with animals (Not sexually and not emotionally).
Its pretty simple. Dont use a club, use a sword or a gun. It saves time too.

Pyke basically said it all. Plus, they're our seals, so piss off. We don't come and hunt your animals, don't come and save ours.
