Again, I must point out that I am not "in favour of killing seals". I have been against the killing of seals since 1983. I stayed at a boarding house in Makkovik, Labrador, while working on a survey crew on the construction of the airstirp in that rugged and beautiful spot.

We had seal for supper the first night after we arrived. We had seal for breakfast the next morning. We had seal for lunch, supper, breakfast, lunch, supper.... you get the idea. Finally, I asked Missus if there was else to eat. She offered caribou stew. I was elated. Until... well, let's just say there was no meat in it. But, I did not, and have not eaten seal since. If I ever eat seal again, I'll be as hungry as those who try to scratch a living out of sea, those whom Paul thinks are barbaric.
