Comments on: Harper Eats Seal Meat, Endorses Canadian Sealing Industry http://sarahjblige.com/harper-eats-seal-meat/ The musings of Ms. Blige Sun, 18 Sep 2011 21:32:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: ALLAN JONES http://sarahjblige.com/harper-eats-seal-meat/comment-page-1/#comment-151 ALLAN JONES Fri, 19 Mar 2010 19:43:23 +0000 http://sarahjblige.com/?p=313#comment-151 True the skin is sold. The meat is eaten by the hunters and is sold to specialty restaurants. The harp seal is not endangered. I honestly do not know what the fuss is about. As long as strict controls are kept there shouldn't be any problem. On a parallel note, I do not hear anyone complaining about the endangerment of the cod population. Why not? What about the caribou, the elk etc... Are they not cute enough. Let me tell you from experience that a seal is akin to a bear. If it is not killed quickly it can give a vicious bite. What are the fishermen in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia doing these days? They are drilling for oil off shore and in Alberta. Now, how good that is for the planet? True the skin is sold.
