I really don't have time for your philosophical meanderings at present.

Maybe some ARA who doesn't respect ALL life will take it up with you.

As I pointed out, there is a disconnect between the statement and the
evidence in support of that statement. I've noted that you will argue
passionately on this issue, but i also notice that you are selective
about the species and where you advocate and even how you advocate.

I clearly stated the examples/evidence that lead me to this conclusion.
I think it would be fair then for you to cite examples that would cause
me to reconsider this conclusion.

I have been reading aaev for a brief time, but I see no evidence that
other animal species are being "cared about" to the same degree from you
or from anyone else who states a position of advocacy for animal rights.

The evidence seems to support my conclusion.

No, you don't. You're a misanthrope. You despise most of the human race,
as is evident from your association with violent skinheads (you even
married one!).

They also have their own, convenient definition of life.

Why should seals not be slaughtered and harvested like other animals?
Because they're cute?

No cod? Blame the seals!

Thu 24 February 2005
CANADA/Newfoundland

As warnings from nature go they don't come much starker than the
collapse of the Canadian cod fishery in Newfoundland due to overfishing.
The cod, and thousands of jobs that depended on them, disappeared
virtually overnight. Now because the cod stocks have failed to recover,
seals are being blamed and hunted in record numbers.

Why did one of the world's most productive fishing grounds collapse?
Why were there seemingly plenty of cod one year and none the next?
How come more seals are being killed? The answer is a mix of history,
greed and one bad decision after another.

Stop Canada's Cruel and Senseless Seal Hunt!

Blame the seals for cod stock is definately not right.

The population of seals recently goes up from very low because around
50 and 60, they hunt too many seals which almost become endangered, so
they have to stop sealing at 90, even now, it is not the highest of
seal count in the history.
The reason of collapse of cod stock is not caused by seals, seals and
cod are in the sea for millions of years, nature balances it already. I
do agree there is collapse of cod stock, which is truely caused by
overfishing of human. Even we kill all seals, we will still finally eat
up all fish in the sea as what we are doing now.

I have to say, animal eating another animal for food is a nature, how
can you blame a tiger to eat a goat if it is hungry. But killing
animals for luxury good is different.

If killing animals is necessary, at least do that with much mercy as we
can. Skining animal alive and killing babies in front their nursing
mothers, no matter right or wrong of the decision of sealing is, just
by watching what they are doing, is that human, is that civilized? What
would we evolve millions of years to be? Sometimes it is not question
if we should do or could do, but it is the actually if we WOULD do. If
the fur looks beautiful, would you skin that animal alive for that?

I actually wonder if Canadian people (not a few fishmen and business
men and polititians) know what is going on their ice today, yesterday
and the day before yesterday and if Canadia people agree with that. Is
the government taking advantage of this unwareness of their people?
Before this question can be answered, that country used to be a great
country to me, but not any more and never!

and people are still eating cows, sheep, chickens, turkeys, and
pigs....and their numbers far surpass that of the seals.

If people kill cows, sheep, chickens, turkeys and pigs, for luxury
goods, if they kill only the baby as 3 month old, and skin them alive
and in front of their mothers, I am strongly againts that just as I
feel for seals.
