"Ken Pisichko" wrote in message ... Now people can eat meat that has been "killed" by hired assassins at the local (or is it the far away) slaughterhouse AND at the same time forget about, or conveniently ignore, those hired "assassins" exist for the food industry. That is quite different from colonial times when most folks raised and slaughtered their own animals. In addition, now we have newsgroups where folks can rant in isolation and have their commentary viewed by everyone without any physical consequences to the poster. In colonial times there always was public ridicule and the occasional rotten/over-ripe tomato thrown as such "cabbage heads". Definite differences in physical consequences - and attitudes towards others. You attempt at toughening up your position is pretty lame. "Assassination" is defined as a politically motivated killing. I haven't many seals running for office. It sure does make it look like you really "mean it" though - lol |

And why, exactly, are seals not entitled to hunt fish? Because they'll hunt the fish to extinction. And why are humans not entitled to hunt seal? Because they look cute. If seal pups looked like lobster the only reason they would care about killing them in large numbers is because they would be afraid of the the price getting to high. |

EXACTLY : ) Canada has strict limits on the number of seals that can be harvested each year... In the last 5 - 10 years, the seal population has gone from ~3 million to 5 million. In otherwords, there are way too many seals. Harvesting a couple hundred thousand is not going to harm the population - just maintain it at the current levels (which are much too high anyways). -- Lucas Tam ) Please delete "REMOVE" from the e-mail address when replying. http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/coolspot18/ |

IIRC This whole seal pup thing came about because Greenpeace was accused
of interfering with the activities of other nations, The Whaling nations, Japan, Iceland, etc,... the Nuclear nations, France, USA, UK, etc... BUT they did not do anything politically against Canada, where Greenpeace was founded. So they INVENTED this "sealing" thing to deflect chauvinistic accusations against them. Seals are NOT ENDANGERED SPECIES,.. the cull is controlled, the environmental effect is negligible,... it is a POLITICAL INVENTION!!! That is why I will never support Greenpeace again! ------ NUKE THE WHALES --------- -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + The News Guy(Mike) - Seinfeld Lists + (two mirrored sites) + http://membres.lycos.fr/tnguym + http://wave.prohosting.com/tnguym + All things Seinfeld; scripts, trivia, lists, +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ |

I hunt, trap, fish and plant a garden every year and shop at Safeway. The garden consists of potatoes, tomotoes, carrots, beans, pees, cucumbers, corn, garlic, onions, watermelon, and sunflower. I've cleaned fish, deer, moose, chicken and praire chicken. My humour was spawned because of the definition of assasination. "Its most common use, assassination has come to mean the murder of an important person. An assassin - one who carries out the assassination - is usually motivated by ideological or political reasons ".
