Canada starts seal hunt
Canada's commercial seal hunt has kicked off with the aim of killing 270,000 harp seals, but only a few boats left port in search of prey, officials said.
The hunt "opened today" in traditional seal breeding grounds in the southern Gulf of St Lawrence, Fisheries Department spokesman Phil Jenkins told AFP.
"To our knowledge, there are a couple of vessels out there. But we have not yet heard of any sealing activity," he said, noting that "seals are scarce" there this season because of poor ice conditions.
Up to 20 per cent of the Atlantic herd usually nests on thick ice floes in the southern Gulf, but this year authorities and animal rights groups found only slush and ice fragments too small to support a newborn pup.
Ice floes in the northern Gulf and around Newfoundland province, where hunting can begin in April 4, remain in good condition.
In the past three years, 1 million harp seals have been killed in the commercial hunt in eastern Canada.
How can you stop the seal hunters? There’s no way of stopping them-it’s their livelihood. They enjoy killing the seals for money and its pelts. It is quite satanic. How morbid! We can look down at them as immoral and have no fear in God.
It’s a horror out there right now! It’s a blood bath, so to speak! I could only weep and drain my tears in sorrow.

Wheeww… I am quite nervous right now! Oh, Lord Jesus let it be Larry? Virgie Arthur would have a chance to see the baby too. It is really hard for everyone for all of us right now…I hope the Bahaman Court will just spill the bean so we all have peace of mind.
To Larry, “may the Lord Jesus Christ Bless you today at this hour. We all pray for you.
Peace and Love
