And by the way, isn't there something odd about the title of this thread?

"What would probably be the most impactful steps to stop seal bashing?"
or,
What would probably be the most bashing steps to stop seal bashing?

Seals cannot be legally hunted until they have moulted their first coats and are living independently from their mothers. Seals are not usually hunted until they reach the "beater" stage of development at around 25 days old.

And you do know what you are talking about? All you have posted is some dribble about how killing seals is bad. You don't even want to see the other side of the story. I am willing to listen to your points for the saving of the seals if you don't come off with a huge bias as you have already.

I am not even going to touch on the PM, trying to silence me? Grow up.

Yes, I do. I have researched it.

Your refusal to adhere to guidelines and your attitude are in violation of our guidelines. It wasn't a PM, too bad you didn't read it.

You're going on vacation, hopefully you will be enlightened when you return.

I don't think anyone in this thread actually advocates clubbing to death a month old seal. If they do, they haven't said so explicitly. I think they are just arguing for the sake of arguing.

This thread was locked; it should be again. No one is offering useful advice to the OP at this point.

According to the CBC article I posted it is legal to club seals over 12 days old in Canada. You posted no link. Please link to the Canadian law that does not allow this.

Again, I ask, can someone provide a rational reason that clubbing 12 day old seals to death is necessary? This has nothing to do with being for or against a hunt, just justify why the killing has to be so uncontrolled and brutal.

they probably have the thickest and warmest fur when they are very young and haven't yet accumulated much fat. if still white, it would make for decent camouflage.

as for the "brutality", a heavy bash to the skull should make for a swift death. it just evokes a strong emotional reaction, is all.

well, that's your opinion. i thought my idea was brilliant. and I'm not even against clubbing seals. it's no different than using cows for shoe leather to me. only thing is, i think they shouldn't waste all that meat.

as for your idea, I'm still waiting. it seemed to be giving money to raise awareness, yet you think simply raising awareness is pointless.

Being hit in the head with a club is not a swift death. But you're missing the point. They don't hit the seals in the head to kill them. They hit them in the head to stun them enough that the seals don't squirm around while they skin them. Alive.

It's a brutal practice, and should be stopped.
