I wonder what seals taste like? It seems, with all that fat, they may be similar to Kobe Beef.

Alberta is probably the most conservative of the Canadian Providence's.

A lot of issues here:
1. The killing of a baby seal is not the same as the killing of a baby.
2. That being said, within the limits of our usage of the resources that God provided us, we should strive to do so respectfully.
3. To call the seal hunt a "hunt" does a disservice to hunters.
4. Except for perhaps the eskimos, to the extent that real eskimos still exist, I think the practice is generally barbaric.

Shortly after Bardot and Greenpeace mounted their attacks on the seal hunt, a Newfoundland organization arose with the mission statement that it existed to protect the noble cod against the depradations of the vicious harp seal.
They called their organization "Cod Peace"
Their mascot was a stuffed and mounted cod.

I'm working on a boat with a large Canadian contingent. They cannot understand the 'save the seals' crap. Up there the seals are compared to rats.
What a shame, Brigitte Bardot is really starting to show her age.

Give her a break. She was cited for hatespeech en la belle France for saying the Muslims were barbaric invaders decimating the French culture. She's a tough lady.
J'adore la Bardot!

They may just be animals, but don't men have an obligation to kill them humanely? I know, I know, some of our American slaughterhouses are a disgrace. If the PETA folks weren't such moonbats, they could probably be very effective in promoting humane slaughter practices.

Do they eat the blubber or the meat? Blubber's got to taste like tofu, whatever that tastes like. Anybody?
To: Clive
In the background is a seal holding a bloodied club between its teeth, eyeing up the youngster for another strike. Maybe they just needed to paint Kate Michelman's face on the seal? ;)

The cod competes with the local fishers, aboriginals and foreign draggers for a dwindling cod stock.
For hundreds of years the seal hunt has helped to keep the local ecology in balance. The aboriginals had become part of the ecology.
This until the foreign draggers hit the Grand banks followed by Greanpeace and Bardot. The latter had learned their definitions of "ecology" in liberal arts and poly sci courses.
Now the seals are experiencing a population explosion which is throwing the ecology off balance.
The seals are not under threat of extinction. The cod fishery is.

Agreed.
I hate it too. And it's pity that PETA became a bastion for the loons.

Wouldn't giving her a break be like cutting Je$$e Jack$on some slack because he's opposed to gay 'marriage'?
