Did you quote that from somewhere?

Yep.

So instead of all of the seals being destroyed for fur, an increased number of them die from cold and being spotted by preditors. Seems like a good trade-off to me. It's an un-thought through swipe that doesn't consider that fact that because of the dyeing, more seals still survive.

It would be more humane to club them than leaving them to freeze or be torn apart by polar bears and orcas.

No it wouldn't. Orca's don't hunt by sight anyway, but by sound. A green fur seal sounds just the same as a white one.

GangerRolf, that site's agi-prop tactics are little dated. You no longer bait the USA with commie hunts, you are supposed to bait them with terrorist hunts.

Sea Shepherd (if they still exist, I don't know) can easily be labelled as terrorists. I'm not saying they should be bombed though.

They're still easy pickings for polar bears. And they still would freeze to death. Greenpeace murdered those baby seals





Not that this has anything to do with the topic of this thread

Those seals would have died anyway, and become someone's coat. The other seals that would have become coats, however, get to live.

It wouldn't. I reckon the baby seals rather live instead of getting killed. So what alternatives one has? One can always kill the "clubbers," but that'd be murder.

The coats are worth something. Dead seals on the ice aren't.

Almost all of us consume, wear, or otherwise use animal products. Seals aren't special just becuase they're cute. As long as they're in no danger of dying out (which they most certainly aren't, according to anybody but Greenpeace) they should be fair game...

The point is that the spraying that ruined their fur, led to more suffering than clubbing or shooting them would have.
