| Cruel actions by the Canadian Government
(From BBC News)
International outrage at images of the brutal killing of seals by hunters on Canada's east coast in the 1970s brought a virtual halt to the practice.
But the Canadian government has given the go-ahead for more than 300,000 seals to be killed in Canada this year.
The cull began on Monday.
The Canadian government says the measure is necessary because the seal population is booming, causing the area's stocks of commercial fish - particularly cod - to dwindle.
But animal rights campaigners say seals are being scapegoated for the mismanagement of fish stocks, and that guidelines for the humane culling of seals are not being followed.

So they are 'our' fish now? Why cant we find an alternative food.. because seals cant. The seals arent even killed in a humane way.. they are just randomly clubbed and often are left squirming without being quickly killed.
Im sorry, i find this totally disgusting and inexcusable |
