proud to be a Canadian where we have the highest taxes AND the seal hunt!

please see attached letter...

last year, I wrote our government about the seal hunt as well. I got the exact same stock letter as this year!

our government doesn't give a shit about the seal hunt, nor the message that it sends to the rest of the world. They even go so far as to say it's "safe" and "humane"....

who writes the stock letters anyway? have they ever been there to witness the seal hunt for themselves? It's neither safe nor humane!

this letter is supposedly coming from one of our elected officials, although it is highly unlikely that he reads either incoming or outgoing mail at all.

They say they are worried about the sealers livelihoods yet an individual sealer can only make 1000 $2000 from this deed each season. If that's all they have to base their income on, they are better off to go on welfare like the rest of Canada.

the European Union has banned the import of steel products! In fact the Canadian government even went so far as to attempt to introduced seal products at the Olympics! luckily however, are Olympic committee did not agree with that, nor would the athletes agree to wearing any of the "products" or even using the Olympics as a basis to promote this.

yet I still read comments on boards of people who really don't give a shit about it.

all I have to say is -- OBLIVIOUS!

What if MEAT had to have WARNING LABELS?

I hope that in future, MEAT will have to have the same type of warning labels that cigarettes now have to come with.

Not only they should depict the harm eating meat can do to people, but also the destruction of the earth as a whole.

• the destruction of the rain forests


• the misuse of land


• pollution to our water supply


• the Co2 emissions caused by factory farming


• the raking of the seas of all life

would as many people still choose to eat it?

what if MEAT had to come with pictures of the animals that the piece of MEAT once was?
