barbaric canadians

These are largely fishermen, dude. Trust me, they don't give a **** about the animals. They spend their days waist deep in fish guts. Oh, and clubbing is very efficient. Seals are ****ing slow as **** when trapped on land. These guys can kill 2-3 a minute if they encounter a heavy group of them. Probably much faster than shooting them.

Remember, they're killing on the order of a few hundred thousand a year with less than a thousand hunters in the space of a couple of weeks. This is mass slaughter.

How does one get permission to club some seals to death? Sounds fun...

Canadian government says they've done studies and have concluded clubing is humane.

Don't tell me you were surprised to find that out.

Why would they care one way or the other?

You need to have held a big game or professional fisherman's license in the previous year and attend a seminar on how to kill them humanely

Yeah, Polar Bears and Whales are the natural predators of seals but humans haven't been so kind to these large animals in the past.

I thought we were good at controlling...so put some of these animals back.

I suppose you're aware of how successful Polar Bear breeding programs are...or rather the lack thereof.

[KrazyHorse]

a) We're trying

b) They don't breed as quickly as seals do. It's a lot harder to get them to repopulate than it is to get the seals to do so

c) What the **** do you know about wildlife? You're from Belgium.

So what, WE CANNOT CONTROL nature, this isn't going to help either.

What's the difference between this and a slaughterhouse kill floor?

Euros lecturing Canadians about wildlife management

Hey, if it's one thing I learned here, it's that your own ignorance shouldn't prevent you from bashing someone else.

Besides, we have....eugh...dogs too. I even saw a big huge mosquito yesterday..scary mother**** I tells ya.

They don't eat solely cod. The other fish populations are dropping rapidly, and there are strict fishing limits to prevent overfishing.

The fish are rapidly disappearing, and not from fishing we know about.

That's not true. We know all about the fishing that gets done by EU fleets as they try to vacuum up the last of the fish.

Fish aren't the same as seals. Seals give away a much stronger vibe of killing, and not just some mechanical action. Killing them probably affects people much more. Is there any statistic on how these people behave in normal life?

I am sure. I am not worried about the efficiency of killing them...

Remember, they're killing on the order of a few hundred thousand a year with less than a thousand hunters in the space of a couple of weeks. This is mass slaughter.

That's the point of the thread, no?

[KrazyHorse]

Yup. Mass slaughter that I can get behind
