India has become the latest country to ban the import of seal skin products following the European Union and Russia. Despite overwhelming opposition to the annual seal hunt, it has once again commenced in Canada putting the live of hundreds of thousands of seals at risk. Despite opposition, Canada's MP's and Inuit communities continue to support this abhorrent event that sees thousands of seals bludgeoned repeatedly, shot, and skinned for their pelts. The annual seal hunt has been a topic of great debate amongst Canadians for many years. The demand for seal products has diminished greatly but this has not stopped the seal hunt from successfully commencing every year. It is a tradition rooted in cruelty, horror, and greed, that sees seals chased and beaten to death. I can't imagine the horror and fear these seals must experience as they flee for their lives knowing they are unable to outrun their predator. It sickens me to consider that horror.
Canada does not have reputation as a leader in animal rights. Our fine country has yet to consider sexual acts with animals as bestiality therefore making it punishable by law. Our country continues to support fur farming which is one of the biggest atrocities on the planet. There is no necessity in fur products, it's a luxury that involves animals being farmed for their fur. Cooped up, living amongst feces and infected animals, waiting to be skinned. Why does our country continue to pioneer for human rights while also turning its back on the animals of this country?
Unfortunately, tradition is the argument for seal hunting. Utilizing the "resources" available to these communities for survival supposedly justifies what they do to these seals every year. These "resources" are living creatures, living creatures that feel fear, panic, and stress, in the moment before they are bludgeoned. Is it really that difficult to see why so many activists are against it? What are your thoughts? HAPPY VEG
