Canada's response to the World's outcry against this horrendous crime towards their seals and babies is quoted as follows:
Canada's prime minister, Stephen Harper, on Thursday warned the European Commission president not to prohibit Canadian seal skins, arguing that public pressure for a ban is based on misinformation from activists.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper told European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, according to a statement, "that it is imperative for European Union member nations to consider their next steps carefully as they discuss any measure that would restrict or exclude the sale of seal products within their borders."
The two leaders met on the sidelines of a G8 summit in Japan.
Harper said Canada's hunt is "humane, sustainable and regulated," and added "public pressure within the European Union to curb the sale of seal products is based on misinformation from anti-sealing organizations and extremist groups."
Each year, anti-sealing activists clash with sealers and Canadian fisheries officials on Canada's Atlantic coast, denouncing the hunt as cruel.
Protestors have called for a complete halt to all trade in seal furs, but World Trade Organization rules would make such a step impossible, a European source said.
The commission is expected to make a decision whether to ban the importation of furs made from the skins of young seals hunted in Canada when it meets on July 23.
It will then look to the EU's 27 member states to approve or vote down the measure.
But Harper warned: "Canada will not stand by and accept measures that fly in the face of accepted international practices for sustainability and trade and undermine trade of seal products harvested in accordance with international standards."
A Parliament member, Loyola Sullivan, was quoted as saying, "we will burn the furs if we have too!" This was in response to fallen sales.

Until the disgusting Canadian seal hunt is stopped, I refuse to support the 2010 olympics. Canadian athletes should themselves speak out against this cruel and inhumane practice.

This stuff makes me angry. We are always talking about endangered species, global warming and the constant developing and building we always which takes homes from animals. Apart of being a Canadian is taking care of our country and all animals whether endangered or not we have a right to care for them. When someone is inhumane to a dog they are charged, same should go towards the Canadian seals. Shame on you for this. This is horrendous and just plain cruel and inhame. The prime minister is suppost to back his country and this includes Canadian seals. This just disquests me

The annual Canadian seal slaughter is an embarrassment. The government should take the money it plans to spend defending and protecting this cruelty and create a viable alternative for those whose livelihoods depend on it. This is a barbaric practice and needs to stop.
