What is up with those whacky Canadians. Can't those seals just live in peace? I heard the seals are taking this to the UN security council. This has international outrage written all over it! ;) http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/americas/03/22/canada.seals.reut/index.html

Well, next time someone bitches at us for kicking out american, french, spanish et c fishermen, remember this shit.

The threat of the Seals to Canadians is an "internal matter" and we should allow them to handle it themselves, unless they request help in some manner...

As a Canadian I do not at all feel threatened by a possible seal attack.

Everyone seems to interfere with internal matters of the US.

Anyway I suggest we send in the Marines. After a few hours of pounding, these seals will wish they were in hell.

I would, can you imagine seals overrunning parliment? Although that might be entertaining.

I'm just glad these people are getting outside and doing something. To many people just sit around watching television. Good for them!

oh, sheesh. Not this seal thing again.

...wait, no adorable picture of a baby seal was included in the article. Only information. ...So never mind.

Confound those damn seals! :mad: How dare they eat the few fish that are left in canada's dramatically overfished waters! They'll have to go. :p

That could be because we interfere with others internal affairs.

Why kill the seals? We can train them and then invade Canada, they won't know what hit them.

I take back what I said before. With a population of 5 million if they some how get to parliament (don't know how) they could overthrow the government. You guys are right this is a matter of national security.

P.S. They say that there is money to be made.

Having had some myself, I must say this: it tastes kinda salty, and has a definite fishy aftertaste. It's also a little tough, so it needs to be marinated a good long while before it's cooked.

Not immediately to my tastes, but I could easily see getting used to it. I just think this whole thing is funny - I was on about a month ago, when Canada was being pilloried on these forums for kicking Ernst Zundel's lame nazi ass back to Germany. At the time, I opined that it would only be a matter of time before someone brought up (dramatic music please) - THE SEAL HUNT, as further evidence to Americans of Canada's essential icky badness.

Yep, they kill 'em. Baby ones, for the most part. Loooots of 'em. Problem with Harp Seals is that there's nothing really around that eats Harp Seals, except possibly the few remaining Polar Bears who don't hang around garbage dumps.Top of their own part of the foodchain.They're a well-designed sea mammal, an opportunistic and aggressive species. We're competing not just with the Seals for fish on the Grand Banks, but we're also competing with opportunistic and unlawful human fishermen from ports unknown.

It's an undeniably ugly, unglamorous affair, to be sure, men driving pickaxes through the skulls of cute 'n' cuddly white-coated seal pups. Still, Seals reproduce at a prodigious rate if left unchecked, and the increase in numbers since the 1970s would seem to provide some evidence to support the notion that some signficant amount of the blame for the disappearance of the Atlantic Cod stocks has to lay at the feet of those who demanded we yield our sympathies to the plight of this unendangered marine mammal.

Tish and pish, I say. Let's start a new industry based on Seal-hunting. Let's repopularize Seal pelt as a fur - and let's all try enjoy some Seal meat dishes. Who knows, maybe it'll catch on. Why don't we return the Seals back to the population levels they were at in the 1970s? They've obviously had little trouble regaining their equilibrium, and never were endangered, as a species, in any event.

It might mean more of a chance for the fish. And considering that by most accounts the Grand Banks were so alive with fish when the first Europeans came that they could be caught simply by lowering a bucket over the side and scooping them out, maybe we owe it to ourselves to club the fish-breathed little shits halfway back to the brink of extinction - and getting visciously litigious with those other bastards poaching those waters, to boot.

We're Canadians Dammit. Seal hunting is our own matter. We have the right to bludgeon, shoot, stomp, smash, and overall kill any seals we want.

I admit that the idea of a seal hunt makes me nauseous but if they're as prolific as you say, they need to be reduced.

It's the same as the "Bambi Syndrome" in the US. Here, "Animal Welfare" groups and "Environmentalists" have managed to reduce deer hunting in many states. Now the populations are so large that tens of thousands are being killed on highways, crops are being destroyed for lack of other food, and diseases are becoming rampant. Much more humane that keeping thier numbers in check, don't you think? [sarcasm] The populations here are being estimated at higher than pre-colonial levels. It used to be hunters only went after bucks, now they're being encouraged to go after does to reduce the herds.

Cook me a nice juicy seal steak, woman!!!

Damn right! That's what I say about terrorist too. So why are people complaining!?

CRAZY ERNIE
That's right, friends, this is Crazy Ernie from "Crazy Ernie's Used Car Emporium!" It's a giant supermarket of cars! I got so many cars, people come up to me and say, "Hey, Crazy Ernie! Where'd you get all those cars?!"
Lookee here.

CRAZY ERNIE (voice over a pan of a huge sales lot of cars)
We got red cars, we got green cars, we got enough cars to choke a camel!

CRAZY ERNIE (now standing next to a baby seal, perched on the hood of a car)
Tell you what, friends. If nobody comes down and buys a car from me in the next hour, I'm gonna club this baby seal. That's right, I'll club a seal to make a deal!! And I'll do it, too... 'cause I'm crazy!

Ahh yes, population control. So can we say that for anything we don't like? Chinese use terms such as population control. That just sounds way to suspicious. I know the Canadians are blood thirsty. Just look at hockey. They cancel the season! Lets go kill some seals! Eh?!

We really should consider the social ills of the seals.
If we kill them too young then they will never grow up to be happy, productive, contributing members of society. When was the last time you heard about a drive-by sealing??
We should let them grow up and then let the Newfies have their way with them.
Maybe they will cancel each other out and the seals will start running for Parliament.
And we'd finaly have a Prime Minister we could understand

I would definately vote the SEAL slate. Can't go wrong with cute and cuddly.

If the French Canadians can almost topple the government. A few dozen seals should do the trick.
