An Appeal to the Cypriots in Canada: End the Seal Hunt !

Postby Cem » Sat Mar 28, 2009 4:24 pm

Canadian government openly supports, in the name of commercial interests, one of the cruelest episodes in seal hunting. Even the baby cubs are not spared as many are being clubbed to death.


Please speak out for the hundreds of thousands of baby seals in Canada who are beaten or shot to death each year. IFAW is proud to have been consulted on Canada's historic legislative proposal to end the seal hunt.The time to act is now. Please urge Canada to support the Harb Seal Bill.

Over one million baby seals have been killed for their fur.

Warning! Scenes are Extremely Graphic

This is very sad. I think becoming vegan and not using any animal products like furs and skins is probably the most humane thing to do. But how many people can do that? I think humans are the most cruel animals on this planet!

I don't agree with this practice, but it is the way some people have made a living for many years. It is difficult to stop this without providing some other way for these people to earn a crust.

Our practice of catching ambelopoulia is a similar problem, although it is not as brutal (IMHO), and at least it is for food, not shoes and perfume.

Cut the crap.

Seals are routinely eaten by bears, sharks and killer whales. Death by jaws is no different than any other.

Using animal products is as old as humanity itself. Grow up.

19 000 seals killed in just a few days is a bit out of routine. :? All sharks, bears and killer whales combined wouldn't have managed that !

Using animal products is as old as humanity itself. Grow up


And what humanity will do when most species become extinct ?

They will perhaps substitute them with human products I suppose ? :wink:

Hey, not a bad idea, Nazis already used hair and teeth from jewish corpses.

You are a supporter of Israeli war crimes against Gaza that left around 1300 Palestinians dead, about 300 of which were children!

It comes across VERY SICK when someone goes on about “baby seals” yet couldn’t care less about baby humans!

Getting your screwed-up brain’s priorities right should be your main goal in life Cem, and forget about the Seals…

Dear Get NumbSkull !

Below is your own statement from http://www.cyprus-forum.com/viewtopic.p ... c&start=50

:

Get Real! wrote:Prey to all the Gods that no undemocratic political arrangement ever gets implemented on Cyprus because that would also mean the departure of your beloved Turkey, and this time if the GCs start complaining again about an unworkable constitution and come up with amendments, you simply won’t have the option anymore to run off to Kokkina and play games with shotguns because this time there’ll be…

300 Main Battle Tanks,
220 Armored Fighting Vehicles
211 Armored Personnel Carriers
24 Self-Propelled Artillery
115 Towed Artillery
48+ Air Defense Systems
42 Rocket Launchers
1,513 Anti-Tank Weapons


So after the departure of our beloved Turkey, you will simply annihilate us down to every person including the babies since faced with such an arsenal TCs wouldn't last long on the island. And this is because you find the terms of an agreement undemocratic and the only way to enforce an amendment is to start a war on TCs.

And how many babies will be killed in TC side under such a tremendous firepower, buddy boy ???
Hear, hear the humanitarian baby-lover Get NumbSkull !! :lol:
