I'd have to say the role of bully is being played by PETA. It's really none
of PETA's business (headquartered in the US) to interfere in the affairs of
the sovereign nation of Canada. If anyone finds sealing objectionable,
simply refrain from buying the products. If there wasn't any market for
seal products there wouldnt be a hunt, except perhaps a cull to help
Canada's over exploited cod fishery to recover.

That certainly was a compelling argument.

No, they are not embryos until fertilized and incubated, but the purpose of
an egg is animal reproduction. Whether an embryo or not, consuming an egg
is eating something intended by nature to be a baby chicken.

It isn't unethical to eat animals or make products from them.
Paleontologists have long since proven (by digging up fire pits, etc) that
ancient man were opportunistic eaters that ate both plants and animals.
They also know that man manufactured products and utensils from animals,
like clothing, weapons, personal decorations, tools, etc.

Humans are naturally omnivores (both herbivore and carnivore). That can be
proven by simply examining our teeth.

There is still a market for seal meat but it isn't the primary market.

Seals are vicious, sadistic fish killers. They're the enemy.

Spoken like another slobbering Bush worshipper from Moronica where most
Americans die of heart attacks before they turn 60 and the average 11-year-old
tips the scales at 250 Lbs and murdering their fellow Moronicans with hand guns
is a popular blood sport.

The average life expectancy for Americans is 77.6 years

You're only off by about 30%.

> and the

The average weight for a 10-year-old boy in 1963 was 74.2 pounds; by
2002 the average weight was nearly 85 pounds.

The average weight for a 10-year-old girl in 1963 was 77.4 pounds; by
2002 the average weight was nearly 88 pounds.

A 15-year-old boy weighed 135.5 pounds on average in 1966; by 2002 the
average weight of a boy that age increased to 150.3 pounds.

A 15-year-old girl weighed 124.2 pounds on average in 1966; by 2002 the
average weight for a girl that age was 134.4 pounds.

Murder's not too popular with juries. Or with executioners.

Nonsense.
If that were true, I would be able to buy it.

If there is absolute necessity (for survival), it may be justifiable.

This isn't.

Except in cases of absolute necessity, it constitutes wanton violence.

'Brown says that pushing the emergence of Homo sapiens from
about 160,000 years ago back to about 195,000 years ago "is
significant because the cultural aspects of humanity in most cases
appear much later in the record - only 50,000 years ago - which
would mean 150,000 years of Homo sapiens without cultural stuff,
such as evidence of eating fish, of harpoons, anything to do with
music (flutes and that sort of thing), needles, even tools. This
stuff all comes in very late, except for stone knife blades, which
appeared between 50,000 and 200,000 years ago, depending on
whom you believe."

Fleagle adds: "There is a huge debate in the archeological literature
regarding the first appearance of modern aspects of behavior such
as bone carving for religious reasons, or tools (harpoons and things),
ornamentation (bead jewelry and such), drawn images, arrowheads.
They only appear as a coherent package about 50,000 years ago,
and the first modern humans that left Africa between 50,000 and
40,000 years ago seem to have had the full set. As modern human
anatomy is documented at earlier and earlier sites, it becomes
evident that there was a great time gap between the appearance of
the modern skeleton and 'modern behavior.'"
