Steven Harper and Members of the Canadian Parliament

Canada's response to the World's outcry against this horrendous crime towards their seals and babies is quotedas follows:
<B><I>Canada's prime minister 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 was quoted as saying, "we will burn the furs if we have too!" This was in response to fallen sales.

The activists against seal hunts are not misinformed, its the Canadian Government that is misinformed or in denial as videos and photos do not lie about the brutally cruel killings of these innocent and defenceless animals. And we need to ask the question as who exactly are the extremist, those who practice extreme cruel killings of defenceless animals or those who have compassion and believe that we have no right to kill these animals, let alone with such brutality? If the Canadian government has nothing to hide then why do they not allow filming of these killings? |

C'est monstrueux ! Pourquoi le Canada comme la Chine cette année auraient le privilège d'avoir les J.O chez eux ! Ils font les beaux pour les caméras les chinois mais ils sont des monstres ! Pas seulement avec les animaux mais aussi les enfants qui à 5 ans font déjà énormement de sport ce qui les fatiguent !
