i hate him... this is about Larry King Live.

As a vegetarian, I don't agree with hunting in general. But seal clubbing is a different matter. There is no need for it. If you live in a very poor cold country and there are no alternatives to the warmth fur can provide, then there obviously is a need. However, Canada is a rich nation, and the general public do not require fur coats.

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.

WE DONT CLUB SEALS! we SHOOT them. paul mccartney a shitbag. he was riding on Peta or whatever, just a head figure. he was showing REALLY old videos. we shoot them now. quick.

[Mr. Hobo]

Still immoral. All we do is use there fur and hunting them isn't a nessesity. *Points to Kim's posts* . Synthetic fur is the way to go.

[Tetiel]

Is it needed to kill them? I don't believe so... people don't usually eat seal so... why hunt them?

People dont eat bears- 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.

Paul Mccartney is a dick. He tries to be all high and mighty when he doesn't know all the facts. Not to mention that after he was done being a self righteous asshole he probably went ate enjoyed a nice chicken that was raised in a tiny little coop its whole life.

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.

[Ives]

Accidentally hit i agree.

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.

[Frizzle]

Oh come on guys you should know me, I'm not hippie vegeitartian, but I totally agree with Kim on this one.

Just read that.

[pyke]

What they forget to mention is that the only reason that seals don't over populate and eat the whole damned fishing market off is because they are being hunted.

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.

[Frizzle]

Psh, I doubt hunting them is protecting them in the long run.

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.

[pyke]

Like analogue (and myself) said, enforce regulations and do it strictly.

[Frizzle]

It isn't necessary to kill them though. For fur?

Psh.

[pyke]

Psh.

For some of the poorest fisherman, it probably keeps them able to feed their kids while it isn't fishing season.

So basically if I need money to feed my own family, you would assume I become an assassin?

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.

[Noitidart]

I don't support sporting animals. If there is a need to for warmth, food, stuff like that that's cool but not sport

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.

[Frizzle]

D'ya think they taste nice though?

[Jaf]

D'ya think they taste nice though?

Aren't they almost just blubber (sp? & meaning?)
I gues you could make some lamp oil or something..


Anyway, Protect Seals

[Tetiel]

I agree completely with Frizzle for this... I could very well be extreme, I don't know... but if the animals are not being eaten but wasted then why the hell are you killing them in the first place? I'm sure some people eat it but for the hundreds of thousands... they're being wasted. Don't wear fur... there's plenty of synthetics you can choose from

[Brad]

*stomps on a seal, then gives pyke a high five*

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.
