Sealers Throw Entrails at Rights Activists' Boat, LA TImes 3-26-06

[Guest guest]

[As long as I live I'll never buy another 'product of

any kind' from Canada! Canadian citizens could have

easily demanded their government stop this heinous

abuse of nature. This isn't like stopping a war, or

something. Its almost impossible to get brainwashed,

racist humans together enough to stop the start of a

war, but stopping the slaughter of an Innocent animal

just for its fur is a completely different story.

Sealers Throw Entrails at Rights Activists' Boat

Infuriated sealers trying to fend off animal rights

activists flung

seal

guts at an inflatable boat filled with protesters as

Canada's annual

hunt

began on the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

" They threw carcasses at our Zodiac, " said Rebecca

Aldworth of the

Humane

Society.

 

The fishermen in the area's isolated island

communities say the hunt

supplements their meager winter incomes. Fishermen

sell the pelts,

mostly

for the fashion industry in Norway, Russia and China,

as well as

blubber for

oil, earning about $60 per seal.

GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE, CANADA -- Sealers took to the

thawing ice floes off the Atlantic Ocean on Saturday

and confronted animal-rights activists on the first

day of Canada's contentious seal hunt, The Associated

Press reported.

 

Protesters dodged flying seal guts thrown by angry

hunters on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. At one point, a

sealing vessel charged up to a small inflatable boat

carrying protesters, and a fisherman flung seal

intestines.

 

The fishermen in the isolated island communities of

Quebec and Newfoundland say the hunt supplements their

incomes.

" If most of us rounded a corner on a highway and saw a

slaughter like this, we would call the police, we

would scream until our throats gave out, we would

probably charge the men with clubs. We wouldn’t say,

“I’d do something, but there are so many other

problems in the world …” Patti Davis, Newsweek, 4/6/05
