Sea Shepherd Announces:
Seal Defense Campaign 2008!
Sea Shepherd Crew to Shift from the Southern Ice to the Northern Ice

lies snipped


crap snipped



Once again, the Sea Shepherd organization starts it annual fund
raising campaign by spreading lies about the seal hunt...using the
pictures of snow white cuddly seals to enrage a public....despite the
fact that those seals ARE NOT HUNTED.

Whitecoats have not been hunted for more than twenty years. The seals
taken today are older than the average chicken you roast in your oven.
Most are adults.

So, why do they still spread their lies? Cause it generates enough
revenue to keep them afloat. Before you buy into those sensationalist
lies above, do your own research.

The hunt is humane. The WWF has stopped protesting it because they've
determined the hunt is sustainable and humane.

The hunt only takes ~ one quarter of a million seals...out of a
population that exceeds 5 MILLION!!! The herd is in no danger of
extinction...even with global warming and declining ice, the seals are
expected to adapt well.

More than 90% of the seals are no longer clubbed. They are shot...just
like a deer or moose.

The entire carcass is used, providing the pelt, meat and oil (that
unlike fish oil, is free of contaminants such as mercury).

When Paul McCartney came here to protest (dragged here by his then-
wife), he went on Larry King Live to debate the Newfoundland
premier...and not only was every single one of McCartney's arguments
put to rest, McCartney didn't even know WHERE HE WAS!!! (He thought
he was in Newfoundland...he was on Prince Edward Island).

If one is going to protest this hunt then they can't be meat eaters.
The treatment of the cows, pigs and chickens in the slaughterhouses is
far worse than any seal. Chickens are strung up on a conveyor and
their throats cut so that they bleed to death as the conveyor moves.
Cows get a nail drilled through their brain. Studies have found that
clubbing seals is as humane, if not more humane, than the methods used
in commercial slaughterhouses.

So why is the Sea Shepherd and other protesters not lining up to
investigate those sites? Because they're not permitted inside.

So the seal hunt becomes an easy target with the Canadian government
foolishly allowing the protesters access to the hunt sites. Seal hunts
(including hunts for whitecoats) occur in Alaska, Siberia and
Scandinavia - so why don't you hear about them? Because their
governments do not permit protesters to view the hunt. Just like the
slaughterhouse owners.

Don't buy into these foolish anti-sealing campaigns. Do your own
research. Learn the facts of the hunt. It is humane and sustainable,
providing up to 35% of the fisher's annual income.

Save your money. Send it to a cause that really needs it. Send it to a
children's hospital, a food bank, a women's shelter. Don't send it to
an organization that has to lie to get your money.

Actually the pictures are harp seals and they are slaughtered by being
battered to death.

Pictures taken 30 years ago. BTW, clubbing the seal is a "humane" way
to kill it. The skull is so thin, it doesn't take much to kill the
animal. Not that it happens much anymore. More than 90% are
shot....just like the average hunter who goes out for a deer. Too bad
the forest isn't white...you could get really good shots of evil
Wisconsin hunters butchering Bambi.

Or how about the poor chicken...hung upsidedown on a conveyor belt,
get their throats cut and move along as they bleed to death. How come
we don't see Paul Watson outside a slaughterhouse protesting that?
Why? Cause chickens are not CUTE....and no one is going to fill their
pockets with money to save a bloody roast chicken. Oh...a chicken
that's much younger than the seals that are hunted.


Whitecoats have not been hunted for more than twenty years.

That was only stopped due to international protest.


International protest based on lies. Protest based on the simple
assumption that seals are "cute." Stick the pic of a cute whitecoat
on a poster and voila...money rolls in...the protest was a cash cow
for them. Funny that they still use the whitecoat on their
posters...despite the fact that they're no longer hunted.

That's the only reason that the whitecoats are no longer hunted. The
fact that the hunt continues PROVES that it isn't only about the
pelts. The animals are taken for their meat and oil as well.


So, why do they still

Expose cruel, senseless slaughter of wildlife?

THEN WHY ARE THEY NOT IN THE WOODS PROTESTING THE SENSELESS SLAUGHTER
OF DEER AND MOOSE AND WILD BOAR AND POLAR BEARS???????????????

Yes...polar bears...animals on the verge of being endangered....are
still being slaughtered by AMERICAN hunters for their PELTS.

Sound familiar??????????

Except the endangered part. The seal population is huge...almost 6
million animals. But unlike deer and moose, the seals are CUTE.


Because it's the right
thing to do even though a few weirdo's like yourself may get their
kicks from cruelty.

Ah...it never fails...resorting to insults is a sure sign of a losing
argument.

Don't like meat. Don't eat it. It's that simple. But don't presume to
tell anyone else how to live their lives.

Irrelevant.

No more *humane* than clubbing a human to death.

Or how about the poor chicken

Your fake concern does wonders for your argument! But I guess as a
garden gnome angler you don't have much else!

International protest

That's already been said.

That's the only reason that the whitecoats are no longer hunted.

Yes, International protest.

So, why do they still

OF DEER AND MOOSE AND WILD BOAR AND POLAR BEARS???????????????

We are.

Yes...polar bears...animals on the verge of being endangered....are
still being slaughtered by AMERICAN hunters for their PELTS.

Oh yes.

Except the endangered part. The seal population is huge...almost 6
million animals. But unlike deer and moose, the seals are CUTE.

All animals are cute. What does that have to do with your pathetic
argument of defending harming them to get your kicks, and only then
because they cant fight back?

Because it's the right
thing to do even though a few weirdo's like yourself may get their
kicks from cruelty.

Ah...it never fails...resorting to insults is a sure sign of a losing

Don't like meat. Don't eat it.

What's that got to do with it? So if you eat meat it's ok to abuse
animals is it?

It's that simple. But don't presume to
tell anyone else how to live their lives.

In a modern civilized world any weirdo who gets their kicks harming
people or animals can expect to be called on it. You'll get over it.
