They had the Canadian Coast Guard running to and fro, airlifting in cigarettes and supplies for them. Our tax dollars were being spent to make sure they were comfortable and didn't run out of smokes.<BR/><BR/>"We're just sealers, not savages"<BR/>I have observed the commercial seal hunt first-hand (the video link above was just a small sample of the outrageous cruelty I witnessed) and I can tell you that I saw countless acts of savagery. These men behave like depraved savages, yet they are surprised and hurt when the world calls them savages? They should take a closer look at themselves and their actions before they complain about how misunderstood and harshly judged they are.Atlantic Canadian Anti-Sealing Coalitionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15450760137032815906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9311998.post-23123195569566742222007-04-27T18:06:00.000-07:002007-04-27T18:06:00.000-07:00Regarding "Sealers not Savages" article - surely, ...Regarding "Sealers not Savages" article - surely, this is not a posthumous twitch on the video:<BR/><A HREF="http://video.hsus.org/?fr_story=a94eaba8970a3de4d44f02d52e771a05b85a93e4&rf=bm" REL="nofollow">video link</A><BR/>I'm sure they are just trying to make a living, but this is not a one-hit kill.<BR/><BR/>Also, didn't the sealers have the choice to leave when the activists did? I certainly don't wish them harm, but if the weather warning says leave and they stay to get more seals, then who is really to blame?MoxyIdeashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610762471863160373noreply@blogger.com
