baby seals are cute and inocent they shoud not be killed...its cruel and insesitive...the fact that humans are doing this is treacherous...it hurts me to say this but i f**kin hate us humans sometimes. is horrid atrousous and plain cruel. i like being me as much as any human but some peple shouldnt be alive or at least have a different attitude.

if they like killing this animals that has big brown eyes and look sweet. Then why dont they go to hospital or school and hit the babies or kids. they cant cause its against the law and etc. Then we need a law to protect this babies

The fact that any human being with a heart and conscious could look one of these precious, innocent babies in the eyes and kill them in such a horrific manner, or at all is beyond me. It makes me sick and I think we should do the same to the human animals that kill these baby seals. We have to do all we can to help save these precious babies!

My name is Loren, and I want to join this campaign because I've seen videos of what's done to the baby seals and it angers me so badly. There are so many great causes that need help, but I just wanted to ask - what else can I do? Get my friends to join - should we send emails to Congress, or the particular countries involved in these issues? Please let me know what other actions I can take - I write very good emails and I can send out tons of them as long as I know the recipient. Thanks! Lumen Spirit

SAVE THE SEALS.
dont people have hearts anymore?
Oh wait no its al about money and whohas the nicer car. GROSS.
animals and nature is what the world is all about, at thise rate theres going to be nothing left. I really hope you can live with yourselves.

mike c. just leave.
your obviously proven wrong by basically everyone signing this petition.
byebye :(

HA.

amy, i wouldnt mind clubbing you round the head.

this type of killing breaks my heart instantly.
to think about makes me upset.

and mike c. thats so we can live and you can barley avoid treading on an ant. i swear they kill these seals for there skin?
we eat cow and chicken to survive, its what we were programmed to do. we werent programmed muderers.

Seriously. Slaughtering baby seals is sick and wrong. It NEEDS to stop, and it needs to stop now.

I wouldn't give a care if the seals were killed instantly but clubbing them is inhumane and cruel just for the pelts. Why can't they just only use guns and aim for the head? =P

Im signing for those cute animals!
Save Moonlight!!

Yet again...a comment based on emotion and the image of a cute, cuddly baby seal that has been programmed into the minds of the masses. Please read the last few posts by people that actually know the industry...because they actually live close to the industry. Don't bow to the will of a terrorist like paul watson.

only people who don't have hearts who kill baby seal.just imagine if seals take turn and kill yours

For all those that think that Watson or any other anti-seal organization isn't in it for the $ - read this excerpt from an interview with him:

Barbara F: Are you suggesting that they fight for seals rather than other animals because it's easy, or easier to raise money that way, or because it's a profit maker for the?

Paul Watson: Well it's definitely because it's easier to make money and because it does make a profit because there are over a thousand animals on the endangered animals list and the harp seal isn't one of them.

Plus it was entertaining. I guess there really is NO argument based on logic.. all the little ones scattered. This thread needs a tumbleweed.

I think banning Wesley was a mistake. His nonsensical rabble-rousing did more to show the fallacies of this cause than any counter-argument I've read.

Just wanted to say HI to Wesley, just in case he's been watching. So sorry you can't post. From all of us "seal murdering thugs" We miss you!!

I can't help it, but it freaks me out that the animal rights groups are following Hitler's quotes word for word. And for anyone else reading this, I'll say it again...it's all about the MONEY. Organizations like greenpeace, ifaw, sea shepherd, and the humane society are looking to fatten their bank accounts...they couldn't care less about actually protecting the animals---so don't be a sucker. Think for yourself, don't follow the will of the masses, do some THOROUGH research, and come up with your own conclusions.

Of course they did. They've moved on to whatever pseudo-cause the media has made important this week. The best thing about "activists" is that they generally either bow out when something gets hard, or go way over the top and do something stupid like blow up a ship.

The kids on this board, I dare say, are probably in the first group. Words with too many syllables, grammatical correctness, and a few Strous quotes scared them off.

Notice how everyone left after logic and evidence were demanded?

No hatred... sarcasm... I was pointing out how hatred tactics are being used by protesters to rally the masses - a tactic based on Strous' theories and demonstrated to be extremely effective by certain terrorist groups and the Conservatives, for example. Again, I'm stressing the use of emotion rather than logic being used by individuals such as Deborah, Pat and Wesley. I'm originally from rural NL, by the way.

Mike... what's with the Newfie hate? Don't you consider Newfie hate no different… and just as ignorant as any other group hate?

There really should be a sarcasm font on my computer. I was simply paraphrasing most of the anti-sealing arguments I've heard so far. I was hoping the comparison of whitcoat hunting to the realism of Days would give it away. Your explanation of the Hitler quotes was exactly my point, BAre E, and a great explanation by the way. Hatred, propaganda, and appeal to emotion are the basis of rallying the masses. The fact that they were all from Hitler was merely an added bonus.

Mike, you say that everything we fought so hard to defend will be gone forever. That's actually OUR POINT. Our grandfathers and their fathers before them fought for democracy, freedom, and human rights. What the anti-sealing fools are trying to do is take away the right to hunt this one animal in particular (what makes the seal different from other animals is still not clear, and has been discussed in this thread and never explained by the fools).

So don't play the rights and freedoms card, when that's exactly what we are trying to protect when we come to the defence of the seal hunt. Heck, you're the one providing quotes from Hitler, of all people!

I'm not going to respond to your ignorant and rude remarks about Newfoundlanders, but out of curiosity, why do the anti-sealing fools continuously single out Newfoundlanders, when participants in the Canadian seal hunt come from all of the Maritime and Atlantic Provinces, Quebec, France, etc? Perhaps if you do some research into the facts, you'll come to this realization one day?

In providing us with that quote from your inspirational leader, The Führer, were you again attempting to prove one of our points? It's been proven time and time again that the anti-sealing profiteers continuously paste grisly images in the media intending to appeal to the emotions of the public. So Mike, I do agree that your quote is quite fitting. Emotions and lies have fuelled the fight against sealing, while reason appears to have only gotten through to those of us who are not too blind to see the facts.

And what exactly is your cause again? Are you protesting the use of animal fur by humans (which is an honourable cause, if you're so inclined), or are you intent on destroying the reputations of a good, upstanding people such as Newfoundlanders? I personally believe that you and people like you are losing sight of your goal. BTW...we didn't rape the ocean...blame that on Spanish and Portugese trawlers off our coast licensed by the CANADIAN federal government. Fishermen around here have been protesting that practice for years.

Stop mocking a worthy cause. It's as realistic as the slaughter and cover-up of every whitecoat. Plus, what else will everyone talk about after you Newfie a-holes finish raping the ocean and everything we fought so hard to defend is gone forever? You make me sick.

It seems that Pat is too busy over at the "save Day's of our lives" thread to respond. Seems like a good fit - fictional stories, that is.
