There are definitely more important issues than the seal hunt in the world today.
I am involved with other causes, one of which is sponsoring people from Bosnia, Herzegovina, Croatia.
The thing with the seals, though, is something we can do something about. Let’s remove the cute, saltly-teared seals from the equation and take another look:
The seal hunt:
– subsidized by the government.
– used by various organizations to encourage worldwide boycotts against the entire Canadian fishing industry.
– Whether the facts used are correct or not, sealing is used to smear Canada’s reputation around the globe.
Given the above points, is it reasonable to assume that the seal hunt is not economically viable as a whole, and not worth the shame?
