Fact – When newfoundland was discovered around 500 years ago it had the most abundant cod population in the world.

Fact – Cod fishing ceased in 1992 due to record low cod stocks and was scheduled to reopen in 1994.

Fact – Over 40,000 people lost there jobs who were directly related to the fishery and thousands more indirectly related.
Over 10% of NF total population out of work.

Fact – Scientists for Fisheries & Oceans Canada in 2001 nearly 10 years later found the cod stocks were not being replenished and they placed the blame on the overgrowing seal population.

Fact – Fisheries & Oceans Canada studies found that each year gray seals and harp seals alone eat over 210,000 tons of Atlantic Cod off the coast of Newfoundland, again that was in tons.

Fact – We can’t fish to live.

Fact – As long as the seal population cotinues to grow the cod stocks will not replenish themselve.

Fact – Seals cubs are cute.

Fact – Cute ones are illeagal to kill.

Solution – Kill the ugly ones, eat the ugly ones, sell the ugly ones we make a living and the Mcartneys can still have there picture taken with there favorite pets.

If a little baby fetus was as cute and furry as a baby seal (instead of looking like a roswell alien) would we be so cavalier about clubbing it (the human) to death? If terry Shiavo looked like the female teacher rapist would she still be alive?

I think someone should check Joe Page’s credentials. It’s more likely he is an escaped mental patient than a medical doctor.

But hey, every Conservative site gets it’s retarded Liberal trolls to help everyone else sound extremely intelligent.

I think Joe Page is crazy…He also has some problems with dangling participles…It’s, “Christian trail park in which you live.” It is not, as you said, “Christian trail park you live in.” How does it feel to be corrected by a college freshman, doc?

Haha you libs get me every time! Keep ‘em comin!!

Ok – are we sucking or blowing here.

First Ms. Marsden writes that the fur hunt is only needed to “impress the last remaining twenty or so mouth-breathing morons with more money than brains who haven’t heard of faux-fur”.

Then she writes that “Between 300,000 and 400,000 seals are brutally and senselessly slaughtered every year”. By my Math 101 calculations that means 15,000 – 20,000 seals are being killed per moron.

That’s one heck of a fur coat!

Anyone who puts a club in their hands and bashes in the skulls of defenseless baby seals is disgraceful.
There all spineless cowards. One of the most disgusting practices I have ever heard of. The left and the
right are to blame, I agree. And ALL who are involved in this barbaric and gruesome crime have blood on
their hands. That includes those who silently turn their backs and those in the Canadian government who have rubber stamped this slaughter.

To John Lupton
My I suggest you take your own advice, and do not speak about something you know nothing about. You talk as if an expert of the seal hunt and the people of Newfoundland, yet the only facts I hear coming from your “air-wasting yap” is the propaganda trash spit out by IFAW, Greenpeace and the stereo-typical albertan who believes his own province to be the center of the known universe. The videos you speak of are trash, many of them decades old, replayed by spinsters to convince the self-rightious bleeding hearts to jump on their worn out band wagon and pad their bank account so that they can stay in business for another year.

Your own ignorance and lack of knowledge on the entire subject by using tired stereo-types of Newfoundlanders. Perhaps your grade 1 buddies can teach you some respect of your fellow man. I suggest you research your topics a little more indepth before you speak of them, so at least that way your argument will carry more weight, instead of being passed off as useless drivel from a hot head.
