Vintage Rex Murphy- 1976- Seal Hunt

[Update: CTV.ca | Some sealers park boats after slow opening day]
Seal Hunt update:
Really vintage Rex Murphy from 1976 is available here. I find it to be a rich and poor issue. The rich, Paul McCartney's and Bridget Bardot's against the poor Newfoundland Fisherman.

Presumably these same activists have never been inside a slaughterhouse, or gone into the woods with a deer hunter. They must never have visited a farm where veal is raised, or a facility where geese and ducks are forcefed to produce pate de foie gras.

Because if they had, we'd have to assume these same animal rights groups would be demonstrating in front of abattoirs and cuddling up with baby cows and baby geese. (From:ottawasun.com - Editorial - Who gives a flipper?)

Much of the commentary at Canada.com ( Forums | Share It) is the same as above:

Its plain silliness. If you don't like the seal hunt, mark your protest by not killing seals. People don't go on a hayday when its partridge season and my dad always bags like 60 of them. Could it be because partridge aren't as (GASP) cute as little seals? Furthermore, its funny how some lefties (like myself but not in this case) are pro choice when it comes to abortions, but OH NO WE CAN'T TOUCH THOSE SEALS... just plain stupid.

Or another view is done well by a Canadian Senator at CBC News - Viewpoint: Your Space

Oh wait, the original sea hunt protest (1970's) was against the killing of white coat babies, then it was the numbers killed and now it is because ... the hunt is now regulated with a quota (limited numbers) and the kiling methods are better than most abattoirs. So why are they protesting? They should take all the money collected to protest the seal hunt and give it to the Newfoundland Fishermen in some kind of trust. That would be useful. It is rich against poor. Goliath versus Daivid. How many homes does Sir Paul own? He could sell one or two of them and give the money to the fishermen in a trust of some kind. Stupid, stupid bug!!!
