Правительство спонсирует жестокость
"A sealer near us quickly clubbed every seal within a small radius, to immobilize each of the pups, and then dragged the bodies to the center of his circle. One by one he flipped a seal on its back and skinned it. If the seal flipped around or fought against the skinning he'd flip it back to its stomach, club it several more times and then finishing the skinning."

Documentary evidence – in the form of two veterinary reports (one sponsored by the Canadian government), and video footage of the seal hunt obtained by IFAW over the past decade – simply does not support claims by the Canadian government that the hunt is “humane” or “well regulated.” Seals are routinely clubbed (often with illegal weapons) or shot and left to suffer on the ice, before being clubbed again some time thereafter. Seals are still skinned before being rendered fully unconscious and few sealers are observed checking for a blinking reflex to confirm brain death prior to skinning an animal. As one of the veterinary reports concluded: Canada’s commercial seal hunt results in “considerable and unacceptable suffering.” |
