Canada fights Euro ban

[alfred russel]

Probably not, but I'm guessing if you took a poll the majority would support banning the import of products from the clubbed baby seals.

They don't care that much if you asked them if the EU should ban products obtained from the Inuits traditional seal hunts people would respond differently.

Just like if you said 'are you in favor of brutally massacring innocent animals?' and then used that to show that most people are against meat eating.

Both of us are discussing hypothetical polling, but my guess is that the majority would support this ban, but would not support a ban on meat eating. It probably has to do with seals being cute. It is similar to how we banned the eating of horsemeat (or at least I think we did).

That reminds me.  One of the best meals I have had was slow cooked horse meat in Northern Italy.

the people trying to make aliving in the north were trying to make a living in the north (well, their ancestors) long before any europeans showed up so I don't see how an import-ban should affect them.

Subsistence hunter-gathering is not much of a living.

It is man's natural state.

Man is ingenious. Our natural state is whatever we make of it.

It is about time someone stood up to the baby seal clubbing neanderthals.

I mean really - it isn't like this is a real industry or anything. The only reason people care is they are conservitard thugs who think that just because people have been clubbing helpless seals for a long time, it is fine idea to continue doing so. Screw 'em.
