[As long as I live I'll never buy another 'product of any kind' from Canada! Canadian citizens could have easily demanded their government stop this heinous abuse of nature. This isn't like stopping a war, or something. Its almost impossible to get brainwashed, racist humans together enough to stop the start of a war, but stopping the slaughter of an Innocent animal just for its fur is a completely different story.

Sealers Throw Entrails at Rights Activists' Boat, LA TImes 3-26-06 Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2006 08:54:31 -0800 Sealers Throw Entrails at Rights Activists' Boat >From Times Wire Reports March, 26 2006 Infuriated sealers trying to fend off animal rights activists flung seal guts at an inflatable boat filled with protesters as Canada's annual hunt began on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. "They threw carcasses at our Zodiac," said Rebecca Aldworth of the Humane Society. The fishermen in the area's isolated island communities say the hunt supplements their meager winter incomes. Fishermen sell the pelts, mostly for the fashion industry in Norway, Russia and China, as well as blubber for oil, earning about $60 per seal. [harpsealcampaign] Seal hunt starts off with confrontation AROUND THE WORLD Seal hunt starts off with confrontation Items compiled from Tribune news services Published March 26, 2006 GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE, CANADA -- Sealers took to the thawing ice floes off the Atlantic Ocean on Saturday and confronted animal-rights activists on the first day of Canada's contentious seal hunt, The Associated Press reported. Protesters dodged flying seal guts thrown by angry hunters on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. At one point, a sealing vessel charged up to a small inflatable boat carrying protesters, and a fisherman flung seal intestines. The fishermen in the isolated island communities of Quebec and Newfoundland say the hunt supplements their incomes. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-0603260382mar26,1,7033000.story?coll=chi-newsnationworld-hed Marie E.
