| 541076 | 2007-04-15 05:37:00 | [edit: removed by request] I am not trying to define what animals can be hunted and eaten. The Canadian seal hunt is particularly barbaric. The seals are clubbed to death. That is why the hunt is being objected to. |

| 541080 | 2007-04-15 07:17:00 | True however... SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!! Actually Soylent Green, the movie, was about people being made into food. The real story: Make Room, Make Room by Harry Harrison was about life when we breed ourselves into hell. No animals, no wilderness, nothing but people, soy based food and buildings with people crammed in like sardines. Nowhere in his book does it mention eating people. People think they are so important and other naimals aren't so it doesn't matter if we slaughter them all and their habitats. His book is a picture of what that can lead to. |

| 541081 | 2007-04-15 10:40:00 | I don't condone the killing of animals when they are useless dead. Farm animals are bred by the millions, and the survival of their species are ensured. On the contrary, endangered animals such as elephants, tigers, lions etc are not specifically bred, and they are deliberately killed by men, and their survival is almost not supported. Dogs and cats on the other hand, are companion animals. They were specifically bred for companionship and workforce, not as steak on the table. |

| 541082 | 2007-04-15 10:48:00 | They don't seem to be running out of baby seals. And whats the issue with using a club (though if you look at the official means of killing a baby seal you will take note that many are using guns), Dead is dead, And when they are dead then the skin is taken. |

| 541084 | 2007-04-15 11:00:00 | They don't seem to be running out of baby seals. Yet. And whats the issue with using a club (though if you look at the official means of killing a baby seal you will take note that many are using guns), Dead is dead, And when they are dead then the skin is taken. Dead is dead, but the means of reaching that state is barbaric when the hunters prolong unnecessary suffering. And beating a breathing creature for minutes until its life slips away is hardly something I classify as humane. |

| 541085 | 2007-04-15 11:37:00 | What rubbish, The amount of seals is monitered,And why do you think they beat em for minutes? They would be pulp after beating for minutes,a leaking bag of mash, and the beater would be exhausted. | Metla (12) | ||
