Canada Says Baby Seals Will be Clubbed 'More Humanely'

I hope those stupid seal hunters get eaten by sharks. What kind of sick person does that!? I am so outraged! This is animal cruelty.

I hope they get clubbed like they do to the poor seals!

this is bullshit, seals are cute so why kill them they did absolutly nothing to deserve to die so young, i would like to go to these clubbers homes and bash there heads with a fucking club

This is not fair on the poor seals all they want to do is rome around in their inviroment !! KILLING THEM IS NOT ON !!

who do you think you are killing these creatures !!!

you guys should be killed and locked up youselfs !!!

you ungreatfull peacefull of crap !!

This is a despicable act. This is the same thing as MURDERING a human!! Where are the rights in this situation!! Apparently some people have nothing better to do but painfully and unrightfully slaughter these poor animals. If you think they did something wrong to you and they deserve to die a slow and painful death... I would LOVEEE to hear it...

So...Be a voice for a poor innocent baby seal..

I'm amazed how people use the same argument against killing seals that self-righteous bible thumpers use against abortion.

Kill what you want. It doesn't affect me one bit.

Erm Excuse Me.

I think this is the most cruel thing to do to a baby seal!!! this is an innoccent animal not harming anyone!!!!!!!!!!! This is the most rediculous sport in the freaking world!!! how would you like me beating the crap out of you with a CLUB!!!!! or maybe beating your kids with a CLUB for fun!!!! would you like that!!!!!!!!!!?

This is a cruel and sick sport!! and i think yall are the most rediculous people in the freaking world!! how would you like to get beaten with a CLUB! for fun!! or how would you like someone beating your kids with A CLUB!!! yall need to get a heart and think of what your doing to the poor animals and find a damn different sport.. YOU incosiderate fools!!!!!

This is so heartbreaking and CRUEL!
This honestly makes me want to cry. Who would want to bludgeon and hit a baby seal until it dies? They even skin them alive! This is so depressing i think people should start petitions to stop this and do many things liek i'm willing to do. People should be human and have a heart and STOP this monstracity!
Poor baby seals, this is so unhuman.

THIS IS SO HORRIBLE!!!!!!!
WHO WOULD DO THIS!?
ALL YOU PEOPLE ARE SICK, DISGUSTING, MONSTERS!

if you helped i thankyou, you have a heart and you're helping stop this un-humane monstracity.

If a population needs to be controlled to save another i.e. fish, then I agree measures need to be introduced to sustain both species, but if the only way of doing this is to beat a defenceless baby seal, whose mother has is unable to defend it due to fetching food for its newly born young, then no I condemn such an act. Never should an animal have to endure such a painful death at such a young age, because at the end of the day humans do not have the choice of who lives and who dies, nature will sort its self out on its own. We're too afraid to admit that in every major disaster caused by nature is aimed at humans, we are the species that nature is trying to control, it’s our population which is too vast, and we will do anything within our power for self preservation. It isn't that there are too many seals; the fact is there are too many humans taking every other animal’s food source.

i kill about 1 seal a day they eat the fish stocks we kill them by stapping the with forks

OMG!
THIS IS SO FRICKIN MEAN !!!! STUPID PEOPLE THERE ALL GOING TO DIE AND ALL OF YOU WHO ARE LIKE OF WELL IT DOSENT MATTER HOW ABOUT IT. WELL WHAT IS A SEAL CAME AND KILLED YOU! HU THAT'S RIGHT YOU WOULD HATE IT DIE STUPID PEOPLE! DIE IN A PIT! WHY WOULD YOU EVEN TAKE A PIC LIKE THIS!

you guys should be beaten by a club!

my god...

I CANNOT believe that this is happening, still.
it is disgusting that in the world that we live in today, something so inhumane as this could go on. It is cruel and sick.

This is wrong and cruel what did the baby seals ever do to you. there mall, and adorable and cute how could ever kill such and innocent animal. i hope somebody crushes your skull and uses ur skin for designer bags. u sickening twisted nminded people.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i agree all seals derserve to die i killed 70 yesterday

What the hell is wrong with u ppl...............y is it ok to kill these dumb animals????u ppl are absolutely out of your mind---"Canada is going to make killing seals more humane,"---you ppl will burn in hell for this.....no way could be humane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

{they're} small, and adorable and cute? and that's your argument for why people who are watching their fishing industries diminish should listen to? when a small cub nips you and hisses at you, will you still call it cute? i'm not saying they're not, i agree they're cute and innocent, but i also like cute komodo dragons, and i find crocodiles amusing and ticklish. please get your facts straight, or better yet, read the replies.. "Baby seal hunting has been illegal for decades in Canada" the title of this 'blog' used 'baby seal' in it's title to purposely get people's pants in a twist. and those in the seal industries are hardly looking for you to call them 'men', they're trying to live and this is all they have to work in, and they've been doing this longer than you or i have been alive.

and they don't do this for fun, "how would you like to get beaten with a CLUB! for fun!!" nor is it a 'sport'

motherfuckers!!
they should not do this to the poor babies
or any animal!!!!

You guys are so dum. How do you think they kill cows in factories... It is no more humain then this.
Also theres the fact that no baby seals have been killed in 20 years. It was banned a long time ago

Why the hell would you want to kill a seal.. just for their fur. There is something called FAKE fur and it should be used by the designers. The designers use the fur for their stupid ugly bags and clothing and then its worn in fashion shows. In the end no one even wears the sweater in public. So basically you killed a seal for a two hour show. You take away baby seals from their parents and kill them and vise versa. BE LOGICAL. AND IF ANYONE OUT THERE WANTS TO TRY TO STOP THIS IM READY TO GIVE IN.
And those stupid idiotic people who like killing seals, well your screwed up in the head.
Oh ya in the comments their is one guy named johnson... you enjoy clubbing seals, well change that. I dont think you would want to get hit with a bat. Im sorry Johnson i will have to disagree

This barbaric act of killing innocent baby seals should be condemned by every human-being on this earth. Where are the so-called organisations dedicated to animals (PETA for example)? Why are they not protesting against this cruetly? Whether it is the killing of Whales in Japan or killing of seals in Canada, such things should not take place in the first place and the guilty should be punished severely (on second thoughts they should be killed in the same way).

I can't believe that they can live with themselves after hearing those poor inocent little seals squeal and cry while they are clubbing them to death! its sooo awful!

that is stupid no seal or animal should be clubbed or shot to death what have they done to you. i personaly think andone you clubs or shoots a seal or any other animal rightly deserves to be clubbed or shot themselves.

WTF kind of world is this!

WHAT THE HELL ?!?!?!? THIS IS JUST WRONG AND EVIL !! YOU BASTARDS !!

why the hell carnt them people just stop hurting and killing seals, penguins, whales, sharks, polar bears and dolphins. the people that do that are disgraceful and should be aloud to live. EXSPECIALLY HITTING BABY SEALS WITH BATS ,THAT IS DISGUSTING!
please take up my comment.

i agree that the seals should be managed to a good amount of them but in a as much as possible a pain free way

I wished we could club some seals around here.

omg!
this is a good thing... i guess
but what kind of a man do you have to be to smash baby seals?

are we to beleive that these mentally unstable so called hunters, are going to bother with these rules. They should be clubbed over the head themselves, to see how humane it is.

Why are the seals referred to as "pups" and "babies"? Baby seals (dependent on their mothers) have not been hunted since 1987.

http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/seal-phoque/myth-eng.htm

The killing methods used by seal hunters are no less "cruel" than those used in any ordinary slaughterhouse.

Do your research.

THAT IS SO MEAN, PEOPLE DON'T HAVE RESPECT OR FEELINGS 4 THESE LITTLE CUTE BABY SEALS!!!!!!!!!:( THAT IS SO STUPID!!!!!!!

omg!
this is a good thing… i guess
but what kind of a man do you have to be to smash baby seals?

YAH TOTALLY!!! there shouldn't be laws for better seal killing, but AGAINST SEAL KILLING!

That's very decent of them.

I'd like to offer my services to ensure that these 'professional clubbers' have their genitals wired up to mains electricity as humanely as possible!

Enough said.

This is absolutely redicious and not to mention in-humane!

I don't like (A) the clubbing of 300,000 baby seals annually by Canadians nor (B) the killing of 1,000 whales annually by the Japanese. However inspection of the UNICEF website (see: link )tells us that (C) 370,000 under-5 year old HUMAN infants die annually in Occupied Afghanistan, 90% avoidably and due to gross violation of the Geneva Convention by the Occupying Alliance (including Canada and Japan). The WHO tells us that the "total annual per capita medical expenditure" permitted by the Occupiers in Occupied Afghanistan is a mere $19. Those responsible for (C) are child-killing war criminals and not in quite the same league as those involved in (A) and (B).

Baby seal hunting has been illegal for decades in Canada.

The adult seals population is managed, as a too-large population eats too much of the recovering Cod's food supply. By managing the seal population, Canada is helping the Atlantic cod stocks to recover.

your retatrted stop killing animals reatrd

Not that I argue with the fact that the seal hunt should be made more humane, the previous posters seem to think these people are terrible people, evil people. I live on in the Atlantic Provinces, and I know people who hunt seals. You know why they do? Because in their communities (mostly in rural Newfoundland), there is nothing else. They don't have the abilities to be trained in IT, they have thick Newfoundland accents so they can't work in call centers. These people keep their communities alive by the skin of their teeth.

This issue is a lot more complicated than it is made out to be.

i hate ppl who kill animals...STUPID!!!

yeah i love killing seals!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so Canada has gone from gone from 1.7 million seals to 5.5 million seals at last count, and yet somehow the hunt is unsustainable? The fact the DFO has been able to recover the seal population to such an extent earns them a little bit more credibility than the foaming at the mouth vitriol spit out by "animal rights" groups in my eyes.

WELL I THINK THEY SHOULDNT KILL THE BLOODY SEALS IN THE FIRST PLACE

This is a cruel and sick sport!! and i think yall are the most rediculous people in the freaking world!! how would you like to get beaten with a CLUB! for fun!! or how would you like someone beating your kids with A CLUB!!! yall need to get a heart and think of what your doing to the poor animals and find a damn different sport..
