Seals are wild animals...no need to slaughter them for what? their fur FGS!

NO fair killing them that way. Give them a sporting chance at least. Only Canadians would allow their govt. to subsidize such unecessary violence.

Coming from NYS, why bash Canadians at every opportunity the presents itself?
It's not like you haven't got more reds readily at hand - with the possible exceptions of CA & Mass - than any other than another state in the Union.

If you've got such a problem about the seal hunt, what are your views as to the manner in which Dick Cheney has been known to hunt somewhat less than 'free range' birds?

Not that I've got any problem with your VP or just about anything he does or says - given he's likely the best one America's had in living memory.
There just seems to be something somewhat selective as to your expressed indignation.
