What does seal meat taste like? They're eating fish all day long. Is it salty?

Here is a bit of recent Newfoundland history:

Codpeace Foundation

During a weekly meeting of the St. John's Rotary Club, on January 25, 1979, prominent businessmen Miller Ayre and John McGrath announced the formation of the Codpeace Foundation, a satirical anti-seal organization aimed at mocking groups such as the Greenpeace Foundation.

Miller and McGrath launched a widespread publicity campaign to raise awareness for what they called "the voiceless one - the noble cod." They published a humorous newsletter with pictures of the "symbolic cod family," and distributed bumper stickers and label buttons promoting the group.

The duo also produced an underwater video showing seals savaging cod fish and established the Cods Hole Oceanographic Institute.

And, the Codpeace Foundation is still remembered for sponsoring outlandish events such as the Presidential seal, and the kiss-a-cod contest and public kiss-off.

Thought maybe as a practical joke ..some of the hunters may have taken liberties with the protestors

Like binding them with duct tape...especially their arms legs and mouths...

Wrapped them up in white fur coats and threw them out onto the ice to thrash about a bit...

Good for the locals. Downside is that the wacko's will now come back to the States.

had rammed a Zodiac inflatable boat carrying protesters and journalists.

That is terrible, if true.

They should have run completely over it.

On Thursday, about 80 residents in the eastern Quebec community of Blanc-Sablon surrounded a small hotel where foreign journalists and members of the Humane Society of the United States were staying.

Jeez, we got Yankees up here again telling us what we can and can't do??
It's time we implemented some border control. It 's also time our
Customs guys carried firearms to keep out the riffraff...
