Pamela Anderson make offer to Canadian Sealer’s Association

I have done maintainence work in plants that use this method and it is not 100 percent effective. They station a man at the end of the kill line to (trumpet noise) CRUSH THE SKULL OF ANY ANIMAL THAT IS STILL ALIVE. Why? Because it is 100 percent effective in rendering the animal both unconcious and quickly dead. The old method was to hit them between the eyes with a large sledgehammer. The only reason they stopped using it was because it was too graphic for animal rights activists to believe it could be humane. Don't fool yourself into believing it's all neat and tidy just because it's gone high tech.

they use some sort of bolt gun now, dont they? When i worked as a butcher I never had the opportunity to work at a slaughtering plant.
 
Ohhhh, you should have read all the way through the thread before saying that... Here we go again...

I actually just did, lol. Now that I am more informed, I will edit my position to say that I did not know they used a spiky stick to ensure efficiency, and that studies were done to ensure it wasnt so inefficient a kill method.... I know there are regulations to seal hunting just like other hunting, but I am glad to see they take steps to minimize suffering. But I still wonder if shooting them in the head at close range would be better? I havent hunted yet, so my opinion is just that.
 
Your points of the hakapik being an efficient, and humane killing method are true, no doubt, but the people who are not interested in hearing why it is may stop having so much to say about the seal hunt if it was carried out the same way as other game hunting, with a gun.

Many of those people are the same folks who are opposed to firearms and hunting. Period. Full stop. They would happily agree to a ban on the hakapik, and then in the next breath turn around and call for a ban on the use of the rifle.

They've already managed - through their propaganda and fund raising success, taking money from mindless automatons in Hollywood and elsewhere who have never seen a seal in their life (except in a Disney movie or at the zoo) - to force sealers to go to ridiculous lengths to ensure that an animal is dead, and convinced entire nations to ban seal products because of the stigma.

We're done with accommodating their insanity.

Correct, it's a retractable rod driven by compressed air. Looks kind of like a big air chisel. The rod cracks the skull and pokes the brain. The loser that operated the last one I saw in action liked to hold it sideways gangsta style as he whacked twitching animals slung upside down from a hook through the back leg. Tough guy.
 
well, lets re-purpose the seals : support the rangers for arctic border protection, just need to train them at a very Young age , and lets not forget to gear them with " friggin laser beams"
