Canada's annual seal hunt draws sealers and sceptics


http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/canada/7575251/Canadas-annual-seal-hunt-draws-sealers-and-sceptics.html

he late afternoon sun glinted off the ice floes drifting along the rugged Newfoundland coast, a postcard scene of pristine natural beauty and solitude.

Blue-hulled fishing boats dotted the horizon, churning a path through the chill waters of the North Atlantic. But as the helicopter skimmed above the ocean towards them, the tranquillity faded fast.


From the prow of a vessel ahead, a crewman took aim with a rifle and fired a single shot. About 50 yards away, a dark-skinned three-week-old harp seal reared its head, then flopped back down, spasming as its blood stained the ice where it lay.


These Guys can really SPLIT SKULLS

1. Fuck anyone involved in the fur trade.
From the "hunters" to the stores to the people that buy and wear it.

2. Any photo's of the clubbers falling into the pack ice and drowning
or freezing to death? That would be preferable and much more entertaining.
