As I said before, any vegetarian that also avoids furs and leather . .. . . I can respect your views.

The seal hunt is lmore human than many game hunts (where wounding an animal is possible and likely) and it is much like any slaughterhouse. The only big differences are

1. its outdoors and in the open
2, Snow and ice make a big contrast for photos of the carcasses
3. The whitecoat is a cute animal

Read the thing writen by the Canadian government. It says the meat is sold for human and animal consumption. My guess is much of it ends up in dog food.

How can the protesters claim they stayed a mile away yet also claim some of them were punched? Someone is lying.

Yeah, 'cuz I'm sure the people doing this have such high morals and are such profesionals that with every first hit, the seal is immediately dead.
I'm sure that after killing a few 100 they take a brake to make sure that their concentration levels remain high enough to be able to do a good job.

Oh, and the whole veggie argument is kinda lame to be honest, that's like saying that if you protest against the police in your country, you can't be against the US army being in Irak or something.
In each and every animal(right) argument that one always comes up..

I don't know but its not as if the technique is that complicated. PLus a second blow can follow very quickly so that any suffering would be measured in seconds

People can be against whatever they want for whatever reason they want. My comment was that I can respect the consistency of the argument of the vegetarian who tries to avoid all animal products. I don't agree with them but they are consistent

For the burger lovers and leather wearers out there I don't see the same consistency. The Canadian government has studied the seal hunt pretty closely and the hakipik is a quick and efficient method of killing seals. Suffering would be at the same level as most slaughterhouses. Since the industry is economical, sustainable and makes the most efficient uses of the products possible, what exactly would someone's "beef" be with it??

I don't like the name of that club !

Putting in a couple of spaces it becomes three danish words - hak i pik - meaning "notch in dick", and no, not some real guy named Dick.

I think I mispelled it and its actually hakapik-- What does this do to the translation??

In standard danish it no longer makes sense.

But in some of our dialects it get worse : "notch the dick"
