Petition to Stop Seal Hunt

I did something today that I have only done once before.  I challenged a strangers opinion online.

A twitter folk is very adamantly telling people in the twitterverse that they should not visit Canada due to the annual seal hunt/cull that takes place here.  Is it disgusting? Yes.  Is it long overdue that it is stopped? Yes?  But does it reflect on Canada & it's people as a whole?  No.  Outside of the people who are directly involved with this mistakingly murderous mayhem, you will be hard pressed to find the average Canadian who believes that this is a good thing.  Not for the country, not for the world.

The twitterer that I was responding to was suggesting that people go to Australia to vacation, but I pointed out that there is the sanctioned "harvest" of Kangaroos in that country.  They also suggested the UK, well there is the good old fox hunt that takes place there.

As a vegan animal lover it hurts my heart to know that there are people in the world who hold no value in the life of animals.  If you look a little deeper at some of these people you will find that they have little regard for their fellow human being as well.  I could produce endless links for you to examine about the horrors that animals in our world face but if you are the type of person that truly cares, you likely already know.  There is no middle ground for either side in this.

A good start if you want to make a change is use your voice.  If your path takes your further then good for you, but every little bit helps.
