					<description><![CDATA[Heureusement que la chasse des bébés phoques est interdite, surtout si c&#039;est pour en faire des manteaux de fourrure pour les citadines. Heureusement que certaines associations se sont battues pour arriver à cette interdiction. Que l&#039;on se nourrisse de phoques par tradition ancestrale n&#039;a rien de choquant.
Est-ce que l&#039;homme sait chasser les baleines, les requins de façon raisonnable ?
Je veux bien écouter vos arguments.
Est-ce que la pêche des requins pour les mutiler de leurs ailerons existe toujours ? Est-ce que vous trouver ça normal ? Si oui pourquoi ?
Finalement quels sont les vrais défenseurs de nos animaux marins ? A quelle association se fier ?]]></description>

There are a few factual errors in your comment: (1) The killing of &quot;baby&quot; seals has been banned for decades; (2) No one is killing &quot;millions&quot; of seals, and never has. In fact, due to a shortage of sea ice, harvests of harp seals in Newfoundland &amp; Labrador have been well below the reproduction rate for several years; (3) No seal populations in Canada are currently in any danger of going &quot;extinct&quot;. Quite the opposite, in fact – they are healthy and growing, too fast in the opinion of many.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Stupid fur industry, justifying your evil seal- killing industry. I&#039;m not a vegan, and in fact, I support when Indians killed seals for meat and fur, long before elite food and fur multinationals existed. The Indians didn&#039;t necessarily kill baby seals, especially in such a bloody way like you do!! And they didn&#039;t kill THOUSANDS or rather millions of seals like the Industry does. If industries continue, seals in Canada will go extinct. It&#039;s YOU evil industry, who made the sea mink extinct. NOY the Indians, I support Indians, NOT the industry]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Your anger and outrage shout off the page with the power of a megaphone. 

Your piercing sword of tempered words eviscerates Watson’s puffy ‘eco’ veneer and carney boastfulness.

The issues we face are so much more serious than Watson and many others who have misled and misused our confused relationship with animals and the ecosystem.

Thank you for this skillful excoriation but most of all a bigger ‘thank you’ for the energy and examination you have brought to these critical issues over the years. 

You have fought valiantly to protect vital ecological principles and the cultures of people who exemplify the forward path of a mutually advantageous relationship with nature.

You have been a constant since the early days of this battle. Over the years you have espoused foundational principles which we desperately require to guide us towards the safety of a more holistic future.

Your hard work propelled by outrage and guided by a precise intellect has been a gift to us all.  thank you
