So what about the folks that operate the captive bolt stunners that knock out a cow before it slaughtered? Are they less than human?
What do you know about how the meat you buy at restaurants and supermarkets is produced?

Personally, I don't have any problems with what it going on. There is a market for the fur and this is what it takes to harvest it.

Deal with it.

Once again, cows, pigs, and chickens, among many others, are bred specifically for human use. However, I agree that we have not always treated THEM so gently, either. Of course, that does not mean we do not try to find ways to do so.

Point is, does that excuse the seal slaughter? Or do we as decent, honorable humans find SOMEWHERE to draw the line?

If we cannot draw it at the brutal, torturous killing of baby seals and excusing it by blaming them for the results of our own overfishing, then where, exactly?

Oh, and continually saying, "Deal with it" doesn't count as an argument. Proper men do not ignore or condone brutality.
