For years I have said that all that the sealers need to get the anti-seal hunt crusade off their backs is to start shooting them instead of clubbing them. As you said, the seals are not anywhere near endangered so the anti-seal-hunt-ers only real argument is the fact that they are clubbed. With Paul Watson's comments, I have lost a great deal of respect for him. He and the Sea Shepherd Society have done so much good in the oceans protecting sharks and whales and other endangered species. But it bothers me to hear someone have no sympathy for a human being losing his life doing his job (or their family), no matter how unpopular one may find it. And, as unprofessional as it was, I believe that is why Loyola Hearn got so upset and animated in his comments. To make up for their colossal mismanagment of the fishery, the federal government could do some good, make the sealers use rifles for the seal hunt and then take on the European Union. And without the clubbing issue for them to hang their hat on, the EU and PETA and Greenpeace would have no argument and the markets for seal producats would be there. And this would allow the displaced fisherman to get some sort of living from the sea again. Hi Andrew.
