Thanks Jazz.

And did you notice the hook on the end of the club that they drag the baby seal with, by their skull, while they're still alive?

Yeah,

, and I missed the hook. Seals are so cute. I'm going to go up and club those bastards before they can get those sweet little babies! Okay, not really. I hope the Prime Minister stops this.

GypsySorcerer · #7 03-10-2006, 12:32 PM

Signed. I've been following the situation via HSUS email.

Patti · #8 03-10-2006, 12:35 PM

I signed it but I couldn't read about it. It's too upsetting. Abuse of animals is an outrage.

amber · #9 03-10-2006, 01:27 PM

Thank you for posting that.
I can't take it anymore, I swear.

As soon as I saw their little faces I burst into tears.
My disgust for humans is overwhelming. And I never run out of new things to be disgusted about.

Your words describe my feelings perfectly

I can't get the link to open up for me- maybe a lot of people are going to the site at one time? Anyway I will definitely keep trying and will be happy to sign Sh*t like this makes me crazy.

It's totally disgraceful and pathetic. It's always a case that when nature produces something man comes along and f**ks it all up. Seal cubs are very cute things and naturally we are horrified. In fact I'm a peaceful guy but if I saw someone on the ice taking a club or a pick to a seal I would have no compunction about doing the same thing to them. It's one of the few reasons I would take a life.

But it's as bad with so many things. I get pissed off when sharks have their fins cut off alive then get dropped back in the sea to drown so that humans can eat soup. I think it's awful when sharks get bad publicity because some of them are seen as human killers. They are in decline and are a threatened species but they are not publicised enough. I get pissed when whales get harpooned. When rainforests are cut down for palm oil production so the west can have cheap food. When countries refuse to cut their carbon emissions etc etc etc. It goes on and on. We are all to blame by accepting society as it is. It won't change until it's too late and sometimes I think this planet has gone past the point of no return anyway. We've killed off so many species for our own pleasures as a race that food chains and whole ecosystems will never return. I'm gonna stop typing now 'cos its depressing and angering me.

At least signing this petition is a step in the right direction.

Nature is very resilient. If man would really back off it would come back. The US should be first to do this since our country is the one using the most resources. We seem to finally be heading in the right direction giving tax credits for hybrid vehicles and such. When the whole SUV craze came about I was incredulous because I know oil is a finite resource. Yet many were willing to carry on as though there were an endless supply.

Now car companies are suffering because no one is buying them anymore. These are the same companies that cut short plans for more eco-friendly cars. Ford pulled an electric truck from its beta phase and everyone who owned one was asked to return it to be destroyed.

That's insane and disgusting. Now they are paying the price.

When are companies going to begin to have a long term focus? Shareholders have to be more realistic in the returns they can expect. I guess there would be growing pains to making any changes to the short term gains that companies are so focused on.

This story made me cry too, Amber. Its so awful. I couldn't read it either, I read a few sentences and it was too much for me.

macfanken · #14 03-10-2006, 03:06 PM

I'll definitely sign the petition.... I love Canada but they should be ashamed of this. I saw a hidden-camera documentary about seal hunting a few years ago... it's one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen... some of the images are still in my head.
