Evil Inky Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Fish stock are under pressure, of that there is no argument, but if we must cut back on consumption, then so must the seal population, to do anything else is to give the seal greater rights than humans.So if someone becomes a vegetarian, then a seal has to be clubbed to death to compensate ?

Roachmill Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 ^You may have something there Inky. Said human would have to be strictly monitored (from Brussels, naturally) for a time though - to make sure they weren't a so-called fish eating "veggie".

crofter Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 so just norway and canada to go. Don't forget Namibia! The sparsely populated southern African country is famous for its wildlife and desert scenes along its Atlantic coastline, known as the Skeleton Coast. The estimated 850,000 seals live on a group of islands off the southern coast. The hunt runs for five months. The start follows an announcement by the government allowing for 6,000 adult males to be killed and upping the figure for pups by 20,000 from 2006 to 80,000. The government argues the seals are consuming 900,000 tons of fish a year, more than a third of the fishing industry catch. http://www.fishupdate.com/news/fullstory.php/aid/8021/Namibia_seal_hunt_begins_despite_protests.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infiltrator Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Well I'll be, I was expecting the Sheriff to take the easier option. Personally I feel the sentence of Jail (duration of sentence is secondary) sends an important message to those who show no regard to the law when it comes to the protection of wildlife.

Infiltrator Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 ^^Sharky, I take it you're new to public forums? You need to learn not to take things you read on here so personally - you'll end up in the nuthouse unless you can learn to let things go over your head. You want to see some of the abuse thrown about on some of the bigger forums, the mods on here keep a tight rein on what's posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
