Poor Seals, Or Rich Protesters?

Every year it's the same old thing, seal hunt protests. The old pictures of white coats, (baby seals) get dusted off from the 70's and used to protest against the sealer hunters. Why? Well, here is a very interesting interview showing the protester's true motivation, and it's not saving seals, it's all about stuffing their pockets.

Barbara Frum - Paul Watson Interview, 1978 CBC



Has anything changed since then? Not that I can see. How big is that ship that goes around the world ramming other ships, and who paid for it? Watson clearly identifies why he does what he does, it's all about money. His recent comment about the death's of the 4 sealer's was sickening. Elizabeth May should be ashamed of being on the board of such an organization, but her true colours are now showing. Guess they are called the Green Party, not because of the environment, but because it is the colour of money. Shame.

I'm I the only on who thinks this way? It appears, not.

Was the RCMP right to seize the anti-sealing vessel Farley Mowat?

I have never seen a Globe and Mail poll at 99% agreement. Maybe it's time for Watson to find some other "cute" animal to use for fund raising. Try the polar bear, it's all the rage today, and it has a white coat too. Go film it killing seals on the ice....just like seal hunter's, but at least a bullet from a seal hunter is a much quicker end than the polar bear dishes out to those poor seals. Bet we will never see those pictures.

Update: Knut proves my point, by torturing fish!!!


Germany's celebrity polar bear Knut has triggered a new controversy by fishing out 10 live carp from his moat and killing them in front of visitors

Everybody should take a listen to that interview.Non endangered, and very cute, harp seals used as a lure to attract donors money so these groups can make a profit.

Nice one. Thanks for getting this out there.

Lizzy May has actually, to my knowledge, disowned watson and his comments. I believe she has also resigned from the board of directors of the SS society.

EXCELLENT!!! This truly needs to get out so people can see they have been had.

This is NO different than the scamming cristian ministries that were trolling for dollars from those who saw their salvation coming from supporting these con men.

Paul Watson obviously had a change of heart and decided he might as well get a piece of that million dollar pie.

Lizzie May may have resigned from the board, but she has stated that he does "good work". That to me ties her to the scam of getting people to send money to airy fairy organizations that use falsehoods to con them.

That old saying is obviously true - there IS a sucker born every minute!

Thanks for that Hunter!
Tons of info in there.
So the rich yuppies of California(is that what they were in '78?) want to come to Canada and take away the lifestyle of the hardworking eastern sealers.

BTW Hunter your blog has grown to be right up there with the 'best'.
Good work.
