Thread Name: BS: Canada Escalates Seal Slaughter Defense
Subject: RE: BS: Canada Escalates Seal Slaughter Defense
EJ,

>>.Meat processing on a commercial basis has always been minimal since consumption is restricted to the domestic market in Atlantic and Arctic Canada especially in Newfoundland. The hunt is not done for the meat, not on the idnustrial level.

CarolC, deer are killed and processed, primarily for the meat, by individual hunters. As I have said before, I have nothing against either hunting or meat eating.<<

Are the deer processed? on an industrial level? .

Let me help you with that answer. No. You will have to split some very very very fine hair to say that the deer hunt was more moral than the seal cull.
Ohioans kill deer for meat and trophies. Newfoundlanders kill seals for meat, fur and omega 3 fatty acid acid supplements.

PDQ your arguments are are also descending into silly territory.
Killing Buffalo on their natural turf when there are 19 million OK
Killing seals when they are on their own turf when there are six million and the population is growing, not OK.
