QUOTE (July ^^ @ Mar 7 2009, 11:43 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm having a really difficult time finding current relations of seal population compared to past years and food source. The best I've found so far is like, from 2001. Too long ago to work an opinion from, for sure. I'm all for signing the petition if there is -not- a reasonable point to the cull besides money. I'd actually rather the poor little things get a fast crack to the skull than a slow, miserable wasting death from starvation. But ONLY if that's the case. Which, really. If people would stop dumping pollutants into the ocean and eating fish then they would likely HAVE a decent food source. But. Whatever.

I'll say the same thing to this that I say to it every year. You're trying to end a long standing tradition. Whether or not you find it cruel, it's going to happen. Making a petition NEVER works, so you're simply wasting your time. You have made a petition for the sole purpose of telling everyone you made a petition. It's a selfish effort, really.

I've already had a topic up for that, and a petition but not everyone was Cooperative.

The Internal Markets and Consumer Protection Committee of the European Parliament voted in favour of a strong prohibition on trade in seal products in the European Union. The IMCO’s Opinion will go forward to plenary weeks from now.

“This vote brings us one step closer to ending the senseless slaughter of millions of seals throughout the world,” said Mark Glover, director of HSI UK. “The vast majority of Europeans want the EU to enact a strong prohibition on seal products, which will end the suffering I witness on the Canadian ice floes each year.”

The overwhelming majority of Canadians are opposed to the commercial seal hunt and so the vast majority of seal products are exported to Europe for resale in fashion markets. Sealing industry representatives in Canada have stated than an EU prohibition on seal product trade could spell the end of commercial seal hunting in Canada.
