Despite what people want to believe, humans are animals. We hunt and eat. Just because some people in the world dont always have the luxury of walking into the supermarket and buying “morally correct meat” (a.k.a : meat they have no idea how it got there, but must have be in some kind of ‘I will get into heaven still’ way because it looks all nice, clean and wrapped up … ignornace is bliss).
Same goes for the Eastern Canadian seal hunts. They are not hunting the seals for sport, pleasure or even so much for tradition. They hunt them because they need to damn well eat, and during the extremely restircted time they can follow the strick guidelines and hunt the seals, they do so they dont starve during the rest of the winter.

Oh, and I love how short sighted people are. I think these next 2 points prove this.

“it just shows how people are being brought up and what kind of mind setting that they have been trained to”

and to go with that now we have the comment :

“then it is useless for them to even go through any of the holy books because no act or deed in this world can teach them back to humanity and respecct for poor animals”

So back to my first remark : Get off your high horse, and if you are such a good christian (I am taking a safe guess on that because not many religions bitch as much as they do … except Catholics) then trying actaully knowing the issue and helping these people out instead of damning them for their actions.
