Also, I understand that people are Seals natural predators and as awkward as it would be for me to eat a Seal, I guess it is some people's way of life. I understand how the extinction of predators destroys an ecosystem and that the seal population must be maintained somehow.

Is it wrong that I feel bad for the baby seals though?

If its ok to kill cows, why isn't it ok to kill seals. And if killing an animal is ok, what's wrong with inflicting pain on it.

If you don't need to inflict pain in order to kill the animal, why inflict the pain? Seems like a no-brainer to me. Unless you're a sadist, I guess.

I deleted the post because from the two responses it had, it looked like it was just going to be a Troll post. I imagined that people would take the title of the thread light heartedly, but apparently I was mistaken.

I wouldn't really care if they were thinning the herd by taking out aging, adult seals, but clubbing baby seals is horrible. I guess my viewpoint on the issue comes down as to whether or not you like veal or not.

Eating veal = wrong
Eating normal beef = delicious

Eating or wearing a baby seal = wrong
Eating or wearing an adult seal = OK

That's where I stand anyway. I did not mean to condemn an entire nation or insult your patriotism with the thread title, I did it as a light hearted jest.

The only real difference between killing a baby seal and killing and adult seal is that the baby is cuter. Dead is dead. I think it's fair to assume that if there were still natural predators left to eat the seals, that the babies would be the most likely to get eaten (as happens in other similar predator-prey relationships).

And the real money is in the baby seal fur, not the meat. It makes the hunt economically worthwhile. And if it wasn't economically worthwhile, the seals would still have to be culled in some way.

I do agree with your point, though, it's a pretty sad thing to have to watch. I couldn't kill a baby seal (or a baby anything, really). And I refuse to eat veal.

I've had veal a couple times, wasn't super tasty. I prefer good beef. If veal was super awesome good, I'd eat it without question.

Yeah, I tried it years ago and didn't like the texture. And this was before I found out what they do to the calf so that they achieve that texture.

Why does how cute an animal is have anything to do with if it's ok to kill. There was a good article in Maclean's about how seal hunting is very necessary and good from pretty much every point of view. (except Pam Anderson's)
