~ AN INDUSTRY OF FIENDS FLIPS US OFF--AGAIN! SEALER FILTH SEEKS LIKE-MINDED

THUGS IN CHINA TO FUEL FUTURE MASSACRES ~

 

By Brennan Browne

 

Giving the middle finger to every activist that has worked tirelessly to end the

yearly parade of Cro-Magnons to the ice floes; mindlessly brutalizing and

murdering helpless pups in an adrenaline frenzy; the East Coast Canadian sealers

and their evil government counterparts have chosen to hawk the bloody corpses of

their victims to those they know will never object on grounds of morals and

ethics, because as human excreta in the killing trades, they possess neither.

 

This bunch of crazed, cowardly whiners has attempted every bully tactic in the

book in order to stop the EU from imposing a ban on the importation of seal

products. And when they didn't get their way [see the China and WTO articles

below], they spent obscene amounts of anti-sealing, Canadian taxpayers' money to

find the lowest 'human' common denominator -- those of their same ilk which

torture and murder every non-human species which crosses their path without pity

or moral self-reflection.

 

Are you fed up with the outrageous contempt and arrogance of these blood-thirsty

inbreds yet?! Then please DO SOMETHING THAT WORKS! Boycott the economy of

SEALING PROVINCES AND ONLY SEALING PROVINCES! Make it IMPOSSIBLE for sealing

towns to survive off of TOURISM in the summer, spring and fall; or via year

round INTERNET TRADE.

 

Boycotting ***ONLY EASTERN CANADA*** is the MOST effective means to stop

commercial sealing for good, because it is the ONLY approach that takes money

DIRECTLY FROM THE POCKETS OF SEALERS, and the small businesses which support

sealing.

 

If these thugs are denied a living in the summer, fall and winter even the most

brain-dead will begin to understand that the income gleaned from a few weeks

worth of bashing babies will NOT off-set the financial losses they will suffer

the rest of the year.

 

~WHY THE CANADIAN SEAFOOD BOYCOTT HAS FAILED AFTER NEARLY 5 YEARS AND WILL NEVER

WORK~

 

To put it simply, this is a WAR. If one invades a country intent on winning,

they must FOCUS DIRECTLY ON THE ENEMY not waste their firepower on secondary

targets. Boycotting Canadian seafood is a " secondary " target. WHY? Because many

commercial fishers /sealers have other lucrative markets for their seafood --

Europe being the largest. Therefore they will never be " broken " financially by

an American boycott of their 'products.'

 

~WHY A GENERAL BOYCOTT OF CANADA WILL NEVER WORK~

 

Boycotting all of Canada is not only unfair, it DILUTES the power of such a

strategy because it does NOT target the GUILTY! It will NOT WORK because it does

NOTHING to hone in on, and financially pressure, the REAL culprits -- those

doing the killing -- specifically, EASTERN CANADA! Secondly, the only reason for

boycotting ALL of Canada would be to send a message to the Canadian government.

The Canadian government has CONSISTENTLY AND BELLIGERENTLY PROTECTED AND

SUBSIDIZED SEALING FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS--AND FOR A FEW CENTURIES PRIOR TO THAT

-- THEY ARE OBSTACLES AND MUST BE BYPASSED.

 

The only effective strategy to help end sealing is to DISENFRANCHISE the

government and stop wasting time protesting and petitioning those in power who

are corrupt and DEAF to the demands of the people.

 

TARGETING SEALERS FOR BOYCOTT, WITH THEIR SMALL TOWN ECONOMIES, DIRECTLY

BYPASSES GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION! In other words, it doesn't matter how much the

government subsidizes sealers for the few weeks they are out rampaging on the

ice, if a sealer isn't able to survive the rest of the year, he will be forced

to give up sealing and get a REAL JOB! And make no mistake, there are plenty of

good jobs to be had in Newfoundland/Labrador [unlike the absolute lies told by

the DFO and locals]. Hydro and wind technologies are high paying positions --

and they are looking for trainees!

 

Sealers murder because it is THEIR CHOICE and for NO OTHER REASON.

 

 

SEND A SHORT MESSAGE [Email Sample Below] TO THE FOLLOWING TOURISM BOARDS

LETTING THEM KNOW THAT YOU'LL BE TARGETING SEALING PROVINCES FOR BOYCOTT:

#1

BOYCOTT SEAFOOD -- ALL SEAFOOD -- NOT JUST CANADIAN

Buying seafood supports seal, dolphin and whale slaughter, worldwide. Better yet

-- GO VEGAN!

 

#2

Concentrate the boycott on EASTERN CANADA--the sealing provinces ONLY. They are

the ones KILLING and they are the ones which MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!

 

#3

to force an end to your mindless destruction of Harp and Grey seal populations.

I sincerely hope that the specter of a sharp economic decline will help you

realize that these animals are valuable; they are revered, not for the currency

their body parts bring, but because they have a right to a peaceful existence,

the same right which you so arrogantly afford yourselves, but deny your victims.

When the slaughter stops, the money will flow.

 

Sincerely,

Name/Country

~ FACING BACKLASH IN EUROPE CANADA HUNTS FOR NEW SEAL MARKET IN CHINA ~

 

 

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/facing-backlash-in-europe-canada-hu\

nts-for-new-seal-market-in-china/article1427946/

 

By Campbell Clark

 

Forget the Old World animal ethics of Europe. Canada is taking its seal hunt

where the money is - to China.

 

Despite all the hubbub about the European Union's sanctions on the seal hunt,

Europe is a relatively small market for Canadian seal products. But China is a

big buyer, with greater potential and none of the uproar about animal rights

that has made the seal industry a pariah in the Western world.

 

That's why Fisheries Minister Gail Shea and executives from five Canadian

seal-industry companies are in China now, teaming up to work the market that

could ensure the survival of Canada's moribund hunt. " There's huge market

potential here, " Ms. Shea said.

 

Tonight, Ms. Shea will introduce a seal-fur line at a fashion show at the China

Fur and Leather Products Fair in Beijing. She'll also try to ease red tape for

seal meat imports.

 

" They have a completely different approach over here, " Bernard Guimont,

president of Magdalen Islands seal products exporter Tamasu Inc., said from

Beijing. " That's why we think it's a market that for sure has a great future for

us. "

 

The animal-rights activism of groups that attack the seal hunt as inhumane,

featuring such celebrities as Paul McCartney and images of red blood staining

white snow, has won a ban in Europe. But despite efforts to reproduce the

campaigns in Hong Kong, the movement has yet to take hold in Chinese culture,

where a tradition of eating a wide variety of animals, including dogs, makes it

relatively immune to emotional appeals to spare cute seals.

 

" The Chinese eat anything. And they simply don't understand why you would put

one animal above another, " said Wayne Mackinnon, chairman of DPA Industries,

which exports Omega 3 seal-oil capsules made from harp seal blubber. " I suspect

that over the course of the next decade, the Chinese market alone could take all

the seal products that we could make. "

 

Sales of seal-oil products like DPA's might surpass sales of seal fur that was

long the hunt's raison d'etre, but the collapsing economics of the fur industry

threaten Mr. Mackinnon's business too: Unless sealers are hunting seals for fur,

he won't get blubber at a reasonable price.

 

With pelts fetching only about $15, many sealers stayed home during last year's

hunt, taking only a quarter of the catch allowed by Ottawa.

 

The landed value of the pelts totaled less than $1-million.

 

Ottawa, however, spent large sums campaigning against last year's EU decision to

ban seal products.

 

But those efforts are more about culture wars than commercial deals. The federal

government wanted to stop sanctions to protect the hunt's international

reputation, and because siding with outport hunters over celebrity animal-rights

activists from Europe was an obvious political choice for Conservative

politicians.

 

The Foreign Affairs Department's " action plan " for the spring of 2007 alone had

a $362,000 budget.

 

And the Harper government's fisheries ambassador, former Newfoundland finance

minister Loyola Sullivan, racked up hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses

heading delegations to European capitals on a hopeless lobbying tour.

 

Last year, they launched a World Trade Organization legal challenge against the

EU that will probably cost millions.

 

But in commercial terms, Europe was small potatoes: Most Canadian sales there

were to fur processors, who sold their goods to other countries, but only about

10 per cent of the retail market was there. Most of Canada's exports are split

between Russia and China.

 

China, rapidly becoming the world's manufacturing powerhouse, has been the

centre of fur manufacturing for a decade, and its newly affluent millions have

made it a bigger retail market too, Mr. Guimont said.

 

The Beijing fur show is rapidly becoming one of the largest in the world; the

biggest is in Hong Kong.

 

The anti-seal-hunt campaign launched in Hong Kong last year has made some in the

fur industry fear that activists will gain ground in the largest markets.

 

" We're taking that very seriously, " said Rob Cahill, executive director of the

Fur Institute of Canada.

 

Not just for the fur

 

Seals have long been hunted for their fur, but defenders of the hunt have long

tried to promote other products to defend the usefulness and viability of the

hunt. Seal oil, sold for the health benefits of Omega 3 fatty acids, is the

other major seal product in what is a relatively tiny industry. But sealers

still harbour hopes that sales of seal meat and heart valves might one day take

off.

 

Pelts

 

Fur used the be the most important seal product, but crashing pelt prices have

hit hard. Peak prices reigned as recently as 2006, but a stockpile and a global

recession brought a crash. Less than $1-million worth of pelts were landed last

year. Pelts are cut from seals with blubber on them, and the skins are processed

into fur and leather to make coats, hats, and gloves.

 

Oil

 

Seal blubber is processed into oil that is put into capsules and sold as Omega 3

oil, which is prized for its health effects. Trade statistics don't capture the

size of exports in these products, although Wayne Mackinnon, chairman of DPA

Industries Inc., which makes the supplements, insists Canadian sales total

$10-million a year.

 

Meat

 

Despite Governor-General Michaëlle Jean's famous public snacking on a seal

heart, exports of seal meat remain small, and the market is mostly described in

terms of its potential. The costs of transporting and processing what is, in

meat-industry terms, a niche product have meant that export sales to a few

interested buyers remain small.

 

Heart valves

 

One hope for seal hunt advocates is a Greek doctor's work in advocating the use

of seal heart valves in heart valve replacement surgery. It is only in the

testing stage at the Quebec Heart and Lung Institute and elsewhere, but it

offers the dream of commercial benefits mixed with the public-relations coup of

a seal hunt product that saves human lives.

~GUTLESS WONDERS GROVEL TO GLOBAL BULLY WTO TO FORCE EU CAPITULATION ON SEAL

IMPORTS~

 

The European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly to ban imports of seal products

into the 27-nation bloc, a move that quickly prompted Canada to go forward with

a lawsuit against the embargo at the WTO.

 

“We’re moving ahead with an appeal,†Canadian Trade Minister Stockwell Day

told Canwest News Service on 5 May. “We’ll go to the WTO because it’s

clear in WTO regulations that if one country wants to ban the products of

another, it has to have clear scientific, medically acceptable reasons for doing

so, and this EU ban is not based on hard science,†Day said.

 

In a 550-49 vote taken on 5 May, the European Parliament banned all imports of

seal products to the 27-nation bloc. The proposed ban still has to win the

endorsement of each of the EU’s national governments, but could take effect

before the start of next year’s hunting season if it is approved.

 

The proposed embargo includes an exemption for seals taken by Canada’s Inuit

communities, which consider the seal hunt vital to their cultural heritage. But

the Inuit leader Mary Simon said that she was not satisfied with the exception.

 

“Inuit are devastated at today’s vote,†Simon said in a statement on 5

May. “The stated exemption in the legislation will not help us as the markets

will once again be effectively destroyed. As Inuit leaders have stated across

the Arctic, once you destroy a market for one group, it is destroyed for all.â€

 

Danny Williams, the premier of Newfoundland, an eastern province that is home to

the bulk of the country’s roughly 7,000 sealers, called on Prime Minister

Stephen Harper to press the seal issue in ongoing talks toward a trade agreement

with the EU. Harper responded that he would raise the matter, but added that he

did not want the seal controversy to ‘contaminate’ the negotiations.

 

Norway, another major player in the seal trade, has also threatened to bring a

WTO challenge to the EU’s ban (see Bridges Trade BioRes, 1 May 2009,

http://ictsd.net/i/news/biores/45941/).

 

Animal rights activists, who lobbied hard on behalf of the ban, welcomed the

results of the vote.

 

“I hope that the ban on the trade in seal products will save save hundreds of

thousands of seals from being clubbed and shot under cruel conditions in Canada

and elsewhere,†said Carl Schlyter, Vice-Chair of the European Parliament

intergroup on animal protection.

 

“The EU is making history by closing its borders to the products of cruel

commercial seal slaughters,†said Rebecca Aldworth, the director of Humane

Society International, Canada. “Tuesday’s historic vote will spell the

beginning of the end of commercial sealing in Canada.â€

 

The Canadian seal hunt, one of the biggest in the world, is worth an estimated

US$ 7 million. The seals are valued for their pelts, as well as their meat, oil

blubber, and organs.

ADDENDUM:

 

“The World Trade Organization is the most powerful legislative and judicial

body in the world. By promoting the ‘free trade’ agenda of multinational

corporations above the interests of local communities, working families, and the

environment, the WTO has systematically undermined democracy around the world.

WTO rules can be enforced through sanctions. This gives the WTO more power than

any other international body. The WTO’s authority even eclipses national

governments. " -David DeGraw-
