Boycott Canadian products - grisly reading beware

[Dick Knights Mumm]

A pack of bacon was a living mammal ? Can that be right ?

I accept the need to cull the seal population in Canada but I think there must be more humane ways of doing it.

Totally agree.

I could be wrong but I'm sure I read somewhere that they club the seals as shooting them would damage the pelt. Eh ?

Maybe clubbing only dents the pelt.

Smashed over the head 3 times with a pickaxe, thorat cut and stomach slit open and skins peeled off whilst the animal in still alive.

No problem.

If the eskimo think this is acceptable they need to be educated !.

I suppose it comes down to whether you think animals have rights.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

But what about the pack of bacon. Surely ripping it's packaging off and putting it under the grill is not acceptable.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

DKM - its not about killing animals but the way in which it is done.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Sorry about that. Surely though, after three whacks with the pickaxe the seal is dead. Usually.

It is a difficult one this. Are there any really humane ways of killing animals or fish ? I eat both by the way.

suffocation.

Well, I guess when we ban Halal and Kosher killing here then we can point the finger at others. Naturally we can't as such action would be deemed racist and anti-semetic.

It would be much more humane to club to death anyone who thinks the Daily Mail is either correct or truthful on anything.

Does anyone eat eggs, or Chicken Madras, or KFC, or Chicken Breast poached in white wine with raspberry balsamic dressing?

Have you ever seen a battery Chicken Farm?

This goes on all day, every day of the year, in Britain.

I'd been looking for a way to say that.

Yep.

Ever seen any battery hens in a free range environment? it's worse.

Nothing to do with damaging the pelts...more to do with the fact that the use of guns adds to the distress of the remaining seals-so I read somewhere.

what absolute tosh Gareth . . . . . .stop reading the f***ing Daily Mail !!!

the likelyhood of being alive after one clubbing is minimal let alone three, and throat cut etc.

any meat eaters should cork it on this subject, go spend a day at the butchers or an abbatoir

 

[REDLAND]

Juan - sorry to have wasted 30 seconds of you time reading that trivial post, go back to Eastenders mate.

Spot on Gareth and cheers for raising the awareness to some of our less than caring community !!

I thought it was because they live in on the ice and if they fire their guns off at the ground - it might crack the ice and then they'll all float off into the middle of nowhere on a big iceberg like...


promise I'm not blonde...

And this comes from someone who got on their high horse about a game that shot gays!!!

This is actually real and you couldn't give a toss!

Seals being skinned alive is somewhat different to a cow being stunned with a bolt and then killed.

A boycott is against a government that allows this to happen. Not against the millions of Canadians that are innocent in this.

agreed!!

If it's a cull then why sell the coats?
