would you call the whole poultry industry a slaughter ? get the facts Perez the seal hunt in newfoundland is no more cruel than any other hunt and is important in controlling the population of seals
Re: Lindsey – Re: Lindsey – what for learning about the facts i work for fishery products international my job is to mounter population rates and to regulate quotas with the government so when i state an opinion i makes sure i know the facts maybe you should try it
Hi P.
I know this seems like a cruel slaughter however if we didn't control the population than many other animals the seal feeds on would become extinct. The seal population is out of control, and in most cases it is done humanely, although yes, there is some cruelty involved in other instances. I think its a question of HOW it is done…
SUDDENLY PEREZ MAKES REGULAR POSTS ABOUT "WORTHWILE CAUSES", HE'S TRYING TO BOOST UP HIS "GOOD" SIDE NOW THAT MORE AND MORE PEOPLE FINALLY START TO REALIZE ALL THE HARM HE CAUSED AND CONTINUES TO CAUSE, ALL THE CELEBRITIES AND PUBLIC PEOPLE HE HARASSES AND TREATS BADLY, ESPECIALLY WOMEN, WORDS HURT, IS HE AWARE OF THAT? ALL THE DEFAMAT0RY COMMENTS HE POSTS ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE HUMAN BEINGS WITH FEELINGS…. CONSTANTLY JUDGING HOW THEY LOOK WHEN HIMSELF LOOKS LIKE A FAT UGLY P1ECE 0F SH1T, ALL THE OUTING GAY PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE, THE STUPID CUM AND PEN1SES DRAWINGS THAT HE MAKES ON PEOPLE'S FACES, THE ONCE IN A WHILE P0RN0GRAPHIC PICTURES AND VIDE0S HE POSTS ON A WEBS1TE THAT IS IN BIG PART VISITED BY UNDERAGE KIDS..

Hey Perez!
I love you and everything you do but you have got ot lay off the Seal Hunt! What's next? Save the chickens? They are cute when they are babies too! (Even though it is illegal to hunt white coats, people seem to out them front and center on their websites) The seal population needs to be controlled. I agree they need to stop clubbing seals and only a small percentage actually are. This hunt is a source of employment. The seals infringe upon the population of other ocean life such as cod. The hunt needs to happen. I'm suprised at you. I hope you read the comments about your posts and get informed perez! PLEASE! (still love you though!)
Maybe if you want to announce your employer's name you should make sure you know how to spell first. I'm sure the government is happy to see that the people they hire to MONITER population rates spells at an eighth grade level.
Anyways, even if the seal population needs to be kept under control, I'm fairly certain that your employers should be able to find a less cruel way to go about it.
That is unless they have as little brain power as your grammar leads me to believe. Re: crys –
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Perez for putting such a horrific subject into your superficial space (no offence, I love it!) Being a Canadian and a vegetarian I am HORRIFIED at our government for letting this gross amount of animal cruelty to continue.
ooooooo my god that's cruel,plese sign up,please those poor animals!!!!!!they are good plese help them,we can do somethin with this pettiton,each one of us can be very appreciated pleaseeee help them,yes,there are many animals that are killed for many reason,for example ugly animal jackets,and those jakets are not so neccesary,but now we have this petticion so we can't just sit and look at this video…PLEASE DO SOMETHIN'(i'm not from america so sorry 4 my english??)…i'm far away from there but i still think that those little animals need help couse they are helpless,they are slow to run away but we can do somethin' SO HELP PLEASE
I hope the next group you want to support are the sealers. Do you wear leather? Do you think all cows are killed humanely?? Sure, seals are cute. The baby seals however are not hunted by Cdn sealers because it is illegal. And while you're at it, add fishermen to your list of causes. The overpopulation of seals are eating all the fish and killing their livelihood. And maybe if you have some extra, you could send some of the donations to the families in Newfoundland and other areas that sealing and/or fishing is a way of life.. maybe then, the mothers and fathers wouldn't have to leave the province to support them.
I totally agree with your wanting to support a good cause. I click the links everyday. But please consider the source of the ’cause' and the detrimental effects it could have on people.
For all those still in need of spelling lessons - its MONITOR, not mounter or moniter - and the hunt is not for seal pups - have you ever been near one of those blobs of blubber - nothing cute or attractive about them. Anyway its all a part of nature, everything has a preditor. Who is Perez's?
fishing has totally gone way done and well, other jobs on the east coast for that matter… lots of people are heading west for jobs. not that seal hunting is cool–but i suppose it's like deer culling. hey, what can we do about the massive human population that is destroying the natural habitat of all the creatures out there?
I am SOOOOOO happy that you put this on here, this is something that the world needs to know more about. The US government has already banned seal products from the US and so have many other countries. It is not true that the seal population needs to be controlled, the people that are killing the seals are commercial fisherman on the off season that want to make more money. The seals are killed for fashion. All this information can be found on the website. People need to do their research before coming on here and saying that the seal hunt serves a good purpose.
Also I agree, if you think perez is a bad person than say off his website.
thank you perez, this is indeed a WONDERFUL cause. and to all you disgusting people that are ranting about how tis' not a good cause, yes, the poultry industry is a slaughter, leather is abhorrent - i do not wear it, the beef industry is also a slaughter, and so are all other industies that profit financially from the death of animals. had the natual populations of all animals not been fucked up by the spread of miserable humans, people wouldn't have a need to go on these "hunts for a purpose." if these animals need to have their population controlled, it should be done in a humane manner. no animals' last moments on this earth should be being bulgeoned to death by some asshole in a winter coat. i also do not feel sorry at all for any reason for the poor pathetic fishermen, like #30. they profit from the death of living things - they deserve whatever horrible things they get in life. why don't you feel sorry for a beautiful innocent animal who doesn't deserve the pain inflicted upon them, you insensitive fuck?
thank you perez for posting this! and all of you people need to read up on how and how many of the seals are killed. it's horrific the way their short lives end, and i applaud perez for posting this.
Good, Perez! Any human being/animal who can kill another animal in this horrible way should be shot themselves. Disgusting human beings. You have no heart and deserve to be tortured.
Thanks for giving a damn, Perez! Now all we need is human population control. And yeah actually people should give a damn about chickens and other sentient beings. Learn more about the nature of these animals you view as lower than yourself. They're more intelligent than people think.
/sighs…………….its always the uninformed that fall for this seal hunt scam……….please people, do some research before you believe most of this nonsense………..
Sorry, CHRYS is correct…………..i suggest that you do some proper research before calling that person an idiot.
This has long been a 'scam" meant to pull at the heartstrigs of the uninformed.
The seal hunt is a livelyhood. Baby seals are NOT killed and the seals are NOT just killed for their fur, we actually eat seal up here. Ever had a flipper dinner? It's delish. Protest the way they seals are killed if you must but don't protest the hunt. It is necessary to control the population and the seals are used just as a cow or sheep would be. And please, stop using the baby seals to further your uninformed cause, maybe if calves were as cute you'd be protesting the beef industry.
fuck it.
perez, YOU come to Newfoundland and see what it's REALLY like. it's nothing like what the IFAW is showing/telling you. i swear it isn't. believe me, I'm from Newfoundland. I actually KNOW what's going on.
While I agree that seals can be cute, I think this should not be the reason why a government decides to permit or forbid hunting. As other people said, there's a purpose to seal hunting and, moreover, there's already an excessive number of seals that eat certain kinds of fish. After that, people will complain that there are no more cods, but that's because there are way too many seals! I'm not saying I hate Perez or anything, but I wholeheartedly disagree with this cause. To me, those campaigns just seem like a big deal made out of nothing. Get your facts right and consider both sides before publishing articles and telling people what to think.
how about you pick ONE cause that you know TONS of information on and back it? instead of going with the flow and picking trendy ones….you don't see your celeb "friends" fighting for 9 million causes just to try and look good….
good lord you're a hot mess and i can't stand it…..
thank god i'm finishing my masters and will move on to a doctorate where i will have something to pride myself on and make a difference in a career rather than a short lived blog site…..and i can research and then support a worthy cause….
THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS PEREZ!!!
thanks so much for posting a link to this cause. I am really doing a lot to help the seals because is such an important conflict that is happening right now.
seriously, i am really glad that you use all your publicity to help a good cuase!
Keep it up!
We all know, well those of us who bothered to find out know, that the seal hunt is necessary and that it part of a culture in which it is much the same as every other animal/meat industry; animals are killed and their meat and pelts are used. Also, clubbing is no longer part of the seal hunt and hunting seal pups is illegal and not done. So the only people who should have a problem with this are the vegetarians out there, in which case, I respect your belief, but kindly don't force them upon me, or others. As to the US human society and all their propaganda, if you believe everything they say without looking elsewhere for information, you are ignorant. And really, don't you have enough problems in your own country without worrying about Canada? Oh, and what about the bear hunters and caribou hunters? shouldn't you be going after them…THAT's a sport hunt at least. So really, stop picking on the seal hunt because they are cute and cuddly…they aren't, and if you think they are i dare you to hug one, i guarantee you won't think so after you do.
Guess What: The majority of the fisheries in Atlantic Canada (that's Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, etc. for the Americans) are owned by Norwegians. I would challenge you to find any "goods" made with baby seal pelts in Newfoundland/Labrador or Nova Scotia. It's illegal there and in the rest of Canada to have seal fur boots, etc.
The Canadian government should PAY the fisherman/sealers the miserable amount of money they make risking their lives out on the ice. This investment would pay off in goodwill and tourism dollars. This is yet another instance of the Canadian government raping the poor island of Newfoundland and victimizing her people.
Shoot them in the head, no animal cruelty please

Re: Sigh –

Thanks, for bringing this to light. I was going to donate. MY VERY FIRST TIME TOO, because of the cute white coats should not be killed to be made into furs. But now that it's explained that it needs to happen to control the population and to employ people, well PEOPLE ARE MORE IMPORTANT AND CONTROLING POPULATIONS IS IMPORTANT, BUT PLEASE JUST SHOOT THEM IN THE HEAD AND DON'T BEAT THEM.
Here's a question. Out of everyone who has posted for or against the hunt how many of you have been there and experienced what really goes on? I am not saying that I have been there and I am not say it should or shouldn't happen. But, it is true that the white coats or the "cute little baby ones" are illegal to kill. Also, all of these celebrities that have been there to photograph the seals are only taking pictures of these babies it gives an unrealistic portriat of what seals are being killed. Personally, I would not be able to kill a seal, baby or adult. But maybe someone should find and read unbiased facts before they post things like "Think about the poor fishermen who count on this as part of their livlihood." or "Think about the poor cute baby seals being clubbed to death."
Give me a fucking break - yes I am the transplanted psychologist Newfoundlander living in Denver trying to feed this city's starving senior citizens - Perez has ignored my plea for help….fretting about ze' baby seals (a la Brigit Bardo) is more important than feeding this country's elderly??!! Fuck the seals - the boycott has nothing to do with Newfoundland's fishery output…. moratoriums do…………get your facts straight darling…..if you can't I'm happy to help - oh and by the way I am still open to having you help me feed starving elderly people….given my dedication to that, I could care less about the fucking over-crowded population of seals who have depleted fish stock………….
well it does say that they only count on it as a small fraction of their livelihood. they mostly rely on fishing. either way, no animal should be killed like that. watch some of the videos… it shows them club them once (they are supposed to confirm that they are dead, which they don't) and then "hook" them… they are then dragged back to the boat still squirming and fighting, then they are skinned alive.
so, whether they totally ban or make the restrictions more stringent… it's disgusting and wrong and something needs to be done.
Re: crys –
Hunting is no "important in controlling the population of seals" if the population is low to begin with!!!!!!! How can you think hunting is necessary?? ignorance is all i can say about you…
I think it's great that you're bring attention to such a horrible thing going on. It's one thing to kill animals for food, but for fashion- it makes me sick. And on top of it all, our ever-warming climate is speeding up this process of disappearing seals. I hope people take this seriously and wake up to what's going on around us.
Thanks Perez!

If you live in Atlantic Canada you can become a member and if you live elsewhere you can become a supporter. If you think seal pups aren't being killed you are very wrong. White coats are no longer clubbed but as soon as they start to malt, even a little, they can expect a pick axe through their skulls from a man with the IQ of 85. They are still only weeks old when most of the seals are killed. They are not used for meat like animals in the meat industry. The carasses are left on the ice after all the massacre is done. Did I mention this all takes place on public property that belongs to the good Canadian people and not just a backward few in Newfoundland? We need to create better opportunities for these people, real jobs that don't require brutalizing the environment.

why dont you give up eating meat and donate all your money to rescueing animals from slaughter houses.
why defend several speices. protect them all.
Guess What: The majority of the fisheries in Atlantic Canada (that's Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, etc. for the Americans) are owned by Norwegians. I would challenge you to find any "goods" made with baby seal pelts in Newfoundland/Labrador or Nova Scotia. It's illegal there and in the rest of Canada to have seal fur boots, etc.
