Sea ice around Nova Scotia is so thick, Canadian sealers will have trouble meeting Quebecs growing demand for grey seal meat.
Weve never had trouble meeting demand, but for 2018, well have to see, Réjean Vigneau, president of the Intra-Quebec Sealers Association, told CBC News.
CBC reports that crews usually haul in 2,000 seals during the winter season, but two failed expeditions in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence since January turned up nothing.
Vigneau called it catastrophic for the working men of the Magdalen Islands who depend on seal hunting for their livelihood, and to the environment. This year, thick sea ice off Nova Scotia thwarted seal hunters.

Lots at play here. Summer ice, killing seals. So eco wankers will be po'd to learn about the massive ice. The peta crowd will be happy to learn that polar bears will have extra chow to fatten up for the coming winter. Oh, and no seals were harmed in filing this report.

Can’t be true, AlGore told us there would be no ice in the Arctic.

Didn’t they kill all the seals thirty years ago?

A diet of grey seal AND poutine?
No wonder they’re nuts in Quebec.
To: rktman
Wasn't there an article within the past months that talked about starving polar bears due to global warming and less ice?
To: Ruy Dias de Bivar
They have to find the Polar bears, they hang out where there is much less ice. But they can’t find the seals either.

If the ice increases, the polar bears will not be devastated, right?

It’s easy to catch a seal. You cut a hole in the ice and put some English peas around the hole. Then you wait.
When the seal comes up to take a pea, you kick ‘im in the ice hole.

Oh, and no seals were harmed... by Gaia-damned human beings...
in filing this report.
There's that UK food critic, Giles something. He had a limited show that hit NA cities. In Canada, he did have a seal steak. Overly fatty meat.
Good for seal in its natural environment, probably good for the polar bears and visiting Greenland sharks. Not good as a steak.
To: rktman
Seal meat is something that should be cooked outdoors on a windy day.
