Subject: RE: BS: The Newfoundland seal hunt..good article
Well, within the past few months, there has been a lot of hype over
the seal hunt. What do you think of people boycotting seal products?
What do you think will happen with the Newfoundland seal hunters if
the industry falls? And even a worse thought, what about the communities
in Nunavut? The day that the vote in Europe favored the banning of
seal products, CBC Radio profiled it. A lady from Nunavut (who was in
Ottawa to support the seal hunt) said that Nunavut communities depend
on two industries: sealing and fishing. If they aren't able to sell
seal products, their communities would fall apart. And, seals over eat
the fish, so the fishing industry is dependent on the sealing industry.

What do you think of this?
