| Much easier to compare ourselves to you guys since we watch your TV programs, take jobs from your companies, guzzle your fuel... |

House is set in Jersey, CSI- Miami, Vegas, NY; The Colbert Report is decidedly American. ER- Chicago (I think). I see your point but that's not a huge variety of programming when you take into consideration the market saturation the US has in North America.
The lease you can do is eat our seal meat. It's good for you.  |

That's another thing...whale and seal tastes like shit. Why even bother?
And it's not particulary good for you..unless you want to look like an eskimo that is. |

Against the consumption of animals that don't taste good perhaps? |

Ha ha ha ha what a funny thread. Because of human population encroaching upon nature (yet again) we go and kill animals. Beat them to death.
Then all the Canadians on this forum make lame puns to make it seem 'okay'. After all, other countries do it so it must be okay, right? Lets back each other up on this one..
Ha. Fucking hilarious.

Or, possibly, we're a bunch of people ticked that seal hunting is called part of "canadian culture". That's lame, that's scapegoating, it's inherently detrimental to the animal rights cause to blame one group for a larger socio-political and ideological issue (check out seal hunting in other countries by the way). Occasionally native groups make the argument seal hunting is a part of their culture- native groups are a minority and there is a much larger argument to be debated where native culture is concerned, like historical conceptions of respect for animals in native tribes contrasted with current economic hardships resulting from native's forced assimilation into western culture. Argue about that if you'd like, but you�d only be addressing issues affecting a minority of seal hunters.
Where the op is being ridiculous and is being rightly called out on is implying there is something inherently "canadian" about killing seals. Or that the majority of canadians even condone the seal hunt! Seals are hunted in Canada, yes. That does not make it part of "Canadian Culture". I live on an island on the east coast of canada and I may have seen two or three seals before in my life, always in the summer and I never clubbed a single one. |
This gets my seal of approval. |

I thought the OP was just trying to get a rise out of some people. It seems to have worked.
If you ask me the OP might have been trying to point out how people over react to what seems to be a "cultural" practice in Korea by showing a not so much cultural practice in Canada and crying murder over it and generalizing it to the rest of Canadians. |

| Or he's a moron PETA member. But you are probably right since OP hasn't really said boo since the original post. |

OKk.
Let's get back to marine mammal bashing.
Funny how there's no public outcry over n00b-bashing. heh.
I ate whale in Korea, and was ASSURED it was from a whale that got beached on Okinawa. |

| Sea creatures (especially the mammals) are always better with their brain pans bashed in. |
