From: pearl on 10 Mar 2007 12:39 March 9, 2007 It's that time of year again: The ice floes off the Canadian coast are about to turn red with the blood of the countless baby harp seals who are slaughtered for their fur. Words cannot describe the cruelty of the annual seal "hunt," which is really more of a massacre and will begin in just a few days. To stop this yearly atrocity, we must generate an international outcry against the Canadian government. [..] Sign PETA's international petition to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Our goal is to gather signatures from more than 50,000 people who want to tell the prime minister that "fashion" is no justification for spilling baby seals' blood. .... Canada's annual seal hunt is the largest slaughter of marine animals on Earth. Last year, more than 330,000 baby harp seals were beaten to death so that they could be made into fur coats, collars, and cuffs. The Canadian government claims that hunters only kill adult seals, but 97 percent of the seals killed last year were less than 3 months of age. Most of these seals are too young to realize that they should try to escape when their killers approach. They lie totally vulnerable on the ice as their heads are bashed in with clubs. Many are dragged across the ice - still conscious - with boat hooks. Often these sensitive animals are skinned alive for their fur. Their bodies are left to rot on the ice because there is no market for their meat. The Canadian government has authorized hunters to kill more than 335,000 harp seals this year-one of the largest quotas in history. There is no place in the 21st century for this wanton and frivolous cruelty. Canada must end this abomination, but it will take a lot of pressure to compel the government to stop the hunt. Please support PETA's global campaign to stop the baby seal hunt and raise awareness about the cruelty of fur. Thank you for your determination to end this terrible injustice. Help End the Cruel Harp Seal Hunt The whole world reacted with horror to 2006's images of ice floes bloodied with the carcasses of hundreds of thousands of baby seals whose skins have been ripped from their backs. Unless caring individuals speak out and demand the seal hunt's end, that gruesome scene will be repeated again later this month. The Canadian government has given the go-ahead for hunters to bludgeon to death 335,000 baby harp seals this year. To stop this atrocity, we must generate an international outcry against the Canadian government for sanctioning it. We need to collect 50,000 signatures on PETA's international petition to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper before the hunt begins. It's time for Canada to erase this stain on its reputation and call off the slaughter immediately. Take Action on This Issue http://getactive.peta.org/campaign/seal_hunt07

The oil can be mixed with wild berries and turned into "ice cream." Seal fat is also high in Omega-3 fatty acids, very healthy. The eyeballs are high in vitamin A, very good for skin, bones, and teeth. Unfortunely, I haven't been able to get my fill of seal for a while, not since I moved away from Iqaluit.

Answer please.. Take children and put them in the woods with coyotes, bears, and cougars and they quickly go to the bottom of the food chain. Some animals eat other animals, that is a fact of life. And how would Pearl suggest the Inuit grow cereal crops and vegetables? OR is global warming going to allow them to do that? take the � out of 10x(a)telu�s.net to email me
