Officially Christmas time.

[Gangerolf]

that's a golden oldie

pretty good spelling too, except it's jeg, not jag.
I've heard this verse as well "Jeg river loffene av den, av min sel"

It's not that brutal IRL of course. Clubbing is quite humane


Edit by MtG. Photos of people whacking dead or about to be dead animals in a "Christmas" joke thread more than somewhat exceeds the limits of good taste, let alone the thread subject.

I'm sure clubbing is humane -- can we try it on you, to see how humane you believe clubbing is??

I don't believe that any method of inflicting death is something an apolytoner would want inflicted on themselves . ..

However I know of no evidence that clubbing is any more or less humane than the method used to slaughter cows, pigs, chickens, sheep . . ..

[Gangerolf]

the alternative would be to shoot them, you know. if you miss the vitals, the animal could suffer needlessly. it's hard to miss when you're up close like that.

So does seal taste good?

Che, by Epiphany, do you mean Advent?

Epiphany is not until January 6th.

Advent will be in a few days, November 30th, and signifies the preparation for Christ.

I hate that pic Gangerolf! I'd club those guys myself!

Bring them to me and they both die. And I would have no pitty.

I hate animal cruelty!

[Gangerolf]

are you a vegetarian?

[Spec]

No I a not. But I dont buy fur coats or statues made of Ivory.

Life feeds on life. But superficial stuff made out of animals is INHUMAN imo. They dont eat those seals you know, they only take the skin to make coats and they have to club the seals so that it doesn't die so the skin stays soft by the time they skin it off.

Pure animal crualty for some stupid f***ing coat that some bastard or bltch is going to wear and find them selfs sexy when what they are wearing is purely torture and death.

How about I club you but keep you alive and then skin you to make some coats out of you...

Some seals even take up to 2 hours after they are skinned to die.

It has no meaning in a thread called Christmas time is here.

Synthetic furs are mcuh more humane for our use.

[Gangerolf]

Yes you can eat seal. It doesn't taste very good though, it's got that livery taste just like other marine mammals but it's still edible. It's also used to make dog food etc.


"and they have to club the seals so that it doesn't die so the skin stays soft by the time they skin it off."

I don't think that's true.

"Some seals even take up to 2 hours after they are skinned to die."

that's rediciolus. why would they skin them alive and then let them live after they're skinned??

I agree that hunting them just for the fur is unnecessary. But the main reason why they're being hunted (at least in the North Atlantic) is because there are so fricking many of them, they eat all the fish.

agreed. it's all Ollies fault

I agree. I'm just pointing out that clubbing is just as humane or even more humane than other methods.

I had one on in my living room (aquired before it was banned), until my 2 year old daughter smashed it against the floor. Well, it's easy to forgive your kids, but it surely was a waste...

My shoes and gloves are made from genuine lether

Why would a woman need an animal fur, when she has her own?

That's what my song (in Norwegian) was all about. It's excessively cruel

C'mon! Christmas time is all about slaughtering animals. There's almost no vegetables on a Swedish christmas table, only meat dishes.

If the hunters have guns or harpoons, then yes it is to eat them. If the "hunters" are clubbing them, then it is only to render the seals unconcious to skin them alive.

"and they have to club the seals so that it doesn't die so the skin stays soft by the time they skin it off.

I don't think that's true.

Beleive it or not, it is true. I have seen it on TV. Almost 100 seals laying in the snow, skinned, with some still alive. It was a news report after they caught the guys that did that.

"Some seals even take up to 2 hours after they are skinned to die."

Because they dont give a shlt and they dont have guns.

Wrong. They dont eat all the fish, we do. They re-authorized seal hunting to reduce their fish consomation so that we would have more. They are just twisting the facts around so that it seems alright to kill seals.
