  1. Predictable. You again refuse to read the available information due to prejudice, the very information you just demanded from me. You were convinced by the protesters to disregard everything official under this vague notion that it's all polluted. I for one read the opponents information without preconceived notions and have unfortunately encountered this demand for obedience to the cause upon asking the simplest of questions. This fear isn't sane ! What is this fear about ?

  2. LOL ! You've been claiming the DFO said seals ruined cod stocks for weeks !

  3. Guilt peddling. So, how do you think it's going so far ? You dollar's down, our is up and our exports haven't been affected by this pathetic boycott of yours. Unless you want to take credit from your own country's economical woes. I guess you just don't get it. I'll make it easy for you to understand. You're blowing hot air and your too delusional to see it. It's stupid and anyone with a map knows it.

  4. Yeah. It hurt Americans as well. The lumber prices were artificially elevated by it all resulting in more expensive lumber for homes, businesses. It was disgusting and the HSUS couldn't have picked the worse time for their shenanigans, having come in with their fraud of a Canadian seafood boycott on it's wake.

  5. Seals are not being hunted because of the cod situation and that's been the DFO's stance for years. I actually remember reading a press release from the DFO saying that seal would not likely hurt the recovery of cod, in 2004 ! Why are the protesters still claiming the DFO are blaming seals for it ?

  6. (cont) Paragraph 32(2)(d) now reads "whether the applicant has a stated aim of disrupting the seal fishery or has been convicted, in the five years preceding the application for the licence, of tagging, marking or moving a live seal, of approaching within one-half nautical mile of a person who is fishing for seals or of violating a condition of a seal fishery observation licence" (cont)

  7. Lorraine, until you have lived in Newfoundland you cannot attempt to impose your ethics on these people. You cannot assume they can viably adopt your lifestyle. I have chosen not to eat veal and spring lamb but I cannot condemn people who eat it because I believe it is their choice to make and they are free to make those choices. Nor do I believe a personal choice should result in sanctimonious posturing.

  8. Yet more oversimplified generalizations and manipulative question. In the courts this would be called a leading question. You desperately crave a specific response that you can easily dismiss - So much so that you try to answer it yourself : "when you advocate the slaughter of a 3 week old seal, so too you advocate the slaughter of a 1 week old puppy" (cont)

  9. Cease fire ? I don't consider this a war or battle, at all. Just look at your response to my comments. Who took the first jab by implying an ulterior motive. You did. You failed at "fisherman" and instead of letting it go you implied I was somehow employed by them, and then related to one of these people. This stuff is what newbies do ! Seriously, would it have mattered that much if I were related to a sealer or happen to be a fisherman ? So few fisherman are sealers that it isn't relevant.

  10. Well, this EFSA document is the very document that reviews all of the pertinent documents provided by both sides, for the EU government in regards to the ban. It can't just be dismissed on a whim like you're doing. If it the very cornerstone of the EU ban debate, along with the March 2001 Veterinary Report from IFAW, the 1987 Malouf Commission report and 2002 CVMA report, that i've read as well. It's your choice to refuse to read these but it's to your detriment only.

  11. Nice try but you argued with several people over the issue of overfishing by foreigners. You blamed the cod situation entirely on DFO mismanagement in previous cut & paste spams. Don't change your tune now and claim it's the song you're been playing all along.

  12. These protest groups are acting like observer's licenses are new and are not being issued. They were introduced years back and some of the more militant protest groups, those that are not there to simply film and observe, just didn't get one this year. They didn't respect the conditions of the license and filmed themselves violating these conditions. Their whining about censorship is invalidated by uncensored footage of this year's hunt. Hype.

  13. Have you ? Because at 4:50 he says "14 to 15 days". You're apparently hearing only what you want to hear, even when it's not there. Oh, let me guess - You think he said he hunts 12 day old seals right after...

  14. From 2 to 4 weeks harp seals live off the fat they got from their mothers, who have already weened them. By 4 weeks they hunt on their own and have shed their white coats entirely.
