Unfortunately, the sad truth is that the human species will only start to react to this global problem when it become economically viable to do so or when it becomes an issue to save the human species. :-?

As for the issue with the seals, I guess one could look at less calving grounds as a "population check" since man has decimated the populations of the major ocean predators or an even crazier though that the seals may even adapt to their changing environment and move their calving grounds :roll:

Oh No…. I need to stop playing the Devil’s Advocate…… Can you believe my daily job is to protect the environment? :o

Every meat-eating/animal processing country on earth has its cruelty issues, many much worse than our seal situation. If you were going to stop buying from/visiting every country with a seal-hunt-level problem, there's no one you could purchase products from or visit, including your own. And those are 12-month-a-year cruelty situations.

It's too easy and too "token" to target Canada in this way.

That said, pass the rhum!!!!!!!!! :lol:

I cannot honestly say or agree that every meat producing country has the same level of problem.

Sure there are the PETA "types", out there that protest at the drop of the hat or the blinkof an eye about eating meat.
I don't see any of the same number of people opposing the hunt of the baby harp seals, opposing people eating chicken or beef, or pork.

Then again, I don't see chickens, cattle, or pigs, or ducks, or geese or turkeys, etc, being slaughtered primarily for their hides, just so someone who can afford them, can make a fashion statement.

As to what countries the bbaby harp seal meat is actually sold in....I am sure i is not very many. Iceland, Japan, a few others. I am SURE that not very much meat or blubber, can be harvested from a baby harp seal.
I would tend to think if one primarily wanted, meat and blubber then one would actually hunt the adults, as the Native peoples do in November. :roll:
