Canadian seal cull begins

Canadian seal cull begins

Canada's annual seal cull has begun as hunters ignore protests from animal rights activists. Do you think seals pups being clubbed and shot at is acceptable, or is it simply barbaric?

    In this day and age there is absolutely a need or compulsion to club an animal to death. What kind of people are they that can do this sort of thing. i understand that they have a right to maintain a living but not through mindless laughter.

    I think I heard on Radio 4 that halal slaughter might be more humane because it is done quickly with a sharp knife. When animals are pre-stunned it may paralyse them but may not reduce the amount of pain they feel, just stop them showing it.

    Chickens and ducks can't defend themselves:

    I think planet lover has a point as long as the slaughter is humane.

    some people are just so barbaric, if its not the seal they are killing, then it would be another species they'd be hunting down, and when they have killed everything that moves what then???? ITS ALREADY HAPPENNING!!!!
    THE onES THAT REALLY NEED TO BE PUT DOWN ARE THOSE THAT ARE DESTROYING EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD ABOUT OUR PLANET!
    I think the human race should be genetically modified so we can appreciate the importance of all life, and realise that we the human race are no more important than any other living creature on the planet!!!
    LIVE AND LET LIVE!!!
