This is where I will post all of the terrible things that people do to animals. Some may have disturbing pictures and photographs. I don't feel that it is nessicary for you to see them if you don't want to so I will just be posting the url. Please don't spam on this thread....If you want a conversation about something - may it be how nice dead animals taste or if you are having a boat race. Please make a new thread. This is serious and I really want this thread to be something that we can talk about so that we don't disagree. As you probably all know....I am a strict vegertarian and I get very upset when people talk about how nice dead animals taste. This stuff is surely evil so if you don't think so post on another thread. I spend ages finding out about this stuff and I really don't want it to be spammed. I speek from my heart - I really hate this.
NOTE: This post is not affensive to the Canadians of this site...unless you support it that is...
NOTE: I have rated these pics on horridness,
1 being the worst,
10 being not gory
The first topic is:
The Canadian Seal Hunt
Canada is dismissive of the international opposition to the cruel seal hunt – the largest and most barbaric marine mammal slaughter on the planet.
The Canadian government not only defends but also promotes this cruelty. Canada is also blatantly circumventing a European law aimed at stopping this terrible slaughter.
The seals are used as scapegoats for past mismanagement of fish stocks, a commercial ‘resource’ and a political football.
It is time for the people of the world to show they will not tolerate this barbarism.
I have a feeling that there are canadians on this site, I really beg you not to buy seafood and seal products, this is a really cruel thing that most people have never heard off. To all of the Canadians - This is going on in YOUR country, can't you at least do something to help?

Seafood:- The sealers themselves are, for the most part, fishermen. The main part of their income is from the sale (and export) of fish and seafood products.
The USA - Thanks. You don't let seal products into your country.... The USA deserves respect for this!
The only thing that I can ask of you is...
Staying away from Canada while the hunt continues is the only way you can be sure that none of your money is being used to subsidise the hunt. It will also begin to make the Canadian government – which only seems to care about money – take notice.
The UK - I live here, here is the dish on what the UK's sins are....
The UK still allows the imports of seal products. In 2004 this trade was valued at more than half a million pounds. This level of trade helps make the hunt viable.
NOTE: This hunt is starting soon! View this site for the countdown.... it shows how long is left until the hunt begins, and the seals are killed.

Canada’s annual seal hunt is the largest commercial slaughter of marine mammals on the planet. It’s also the cruelest. In late March, fishermen in the North Atlantic will invade the ice floes to club and shoot baby seals, just to earn a few extra bucks by selling seal skins. Many of these seals are utterly defenseless. Last year, 98.5% of the seals killed were two months of age or younger. Veterinary reports indicate that many seals have been skinned while still conscious and able to feel pain. This year, the ProtectSeals team will expose the world of cruelty that takes place on the ice floes.
With nearly one million seals killed in the past three years alone, Canada’s commercial seal hunt has become the largest, most brutal slaughter of marine mammals on earth.
Each year, Canada allows hundreds of thousands of defenseless baby seals to be cruelly clubbed and shot to death for their fur. The last time this many seals were killed—in the 1950s and 1960s—the harp seal population was reduced by as much as two-thirds.
In 2005, 98.5% of the seals killed were just two months of age or younger. At the time of slaughter, many had not yet eaten their first solid meal or taken their first swim. They literally had no escape from the "hunters."
Last year, The HSUS documented the commercial seal hunt firsthand. What we saw was shocking: conscious baby seals stabbed with boathooks and dragged across the ice, wounded
See The HSUS Animal Channel's slide show on the seal hunt.
seal pups left to choke on their own blood for more than an hour, and conscious seals sliced open and skinned as they struggled. An independent veterinary study conducted in 2001 found much of the same; it concluded that 42% of the seals examined had likely been skinned alive while conscious.
