Re: [Pen-l] Help Baby Seals Who Are Killed in Canada

[Bill Burgess <billburgess@xxxxxxx>]

Who do think is being targeted, if not the sealers?

This is your PETA link:

hundreds of thousands of baby seals are shot or have their skulls
crushed, all for the sake of "fashion." Sealers routinely hook
seals in the eye, cheek, or mouth to avoid damaging the pelt, then drag
the seals across the ice, in many cases without checking to ensure that
they are unconscious. 

Baby seals stand no chance against club-wielding trappers, and they must
look on as fellow pups are bludgeoned to death before meeting the same
bloody fate. The anguish that a mother seal feels as she watches her baby
being beaten to death just a few feet away from her is horrifying and can
be heard in her desperate cries and seen in her attempts to get to her
baby.

I respectfully disagree. The campaign does not target fishers and 
indigenous people (for related information, see: http://bit.ly/ohLqk, http://www.caft.org.uk/factsheets/reasons-for-trapping.html) . The whole idea of such animal welfare campaigns is to raise the 
level of critical thought (or even get the majority to start thinking) 
about the facts of the 6 billion plus animals that humans torture and 
murder on a yearly basis.

I used to work in a cattle/pork slaughterhouse so I know what tender 
mercies went into your meat from the supermarket, notably the veal.

Bill, I don't eat meat. And I oppose factory farming of animals.
