Thoughts on seal hunting?
>>56673957
It's hunting. How good is seal meat? Seal fur cozy? Only reason I see people hating it is because seals look cute.
>>56673957
A good bash for all involved.
That said, I do like seals.
>>56673957
degenerate.
Eskimos are probably the only people tat still do it and that's because the have the snow crazies.
Seals are evil, good for nothing monsters. Seals killed my father and burned the town's church to the ground.
>>56673957
Meh.
This hippo hunting video made me lol for some reason. The hunter voiceovers were hilarious.

If you're a man and you fish, you hate seals. If you are a little manlet bitch from Los Angeles or Washington State you love seals and think hunting them is atrocious.
Very fucking wrong and stupid unless you are an extremely tiny village who survives off them.
Anything that uses them for the sole purpose of profit or industry are disgusting.
Same goes for whales.
>>56674206
>>56674196
Look, confirmation just posted itself.
>>56674033
>how good is seal meat?
Very. Easy to fuck up, though. I'd not recommend preparing them beyond medium rare.
>Seal fur cozy?
You must feel it to believe it.
>>56674196
>>56674262
>boohoo an animal is eating animals im trying to catch for profit.
Shut up, you sound like my retarded uncle.
Fish somewhere that seals dont loaf around near dumbass.
>hunting
>walking up to a seal and clobbering it
lel. I do wonder about the mental state of those people doing that for a living
>>56674299
Anything more than medium rare is just plain wrong. Good to see seal meat also agrees with this philosophy. And that sounds comfy. I should consider going to Canada, get a seal hunting license or something, and bag my own seal for its fur and meat.
>>56673957
Don't mind it.
Far too many people are retarded when it comes to hunting because they have no appreciation where their food comes from, or they're tender-hearted suckers who think we should protect the "cute" animals but don't give two fucks about the ugly ones, and don't realize that a few hundred years ago their arbitrary false morality would have seen them starve to death.
I don't know too much about it. If it's done ethically (like killing them quickly with guns), and without drastic reduction to their numbers, I don't see what's wrong with it.
>>56674337
>>56674299
>how good is seal meat?
>Very. Easy to fuck up, though. I'd not recommend preparing them beyond medium rare.
No, it is terrible. Like wet bland pork rinds. There is like a tiny piece that is actually meaty in the flippers but that it it.
>Seal fur cozy?
>You must feel it to believe it.
This is true.
>>56674337
I really hope you're also very comfortable that most of your meat is slaughtered in a similar manner, if not worse and live in worse conditions.
Otherwise, don't be a hypocrite and become a vegan.
>>56674527
Theyre beaten to death with a club
>>56674527
They're actually clubbed, because a gun either won't kill them, or cause too much harm to the fur and meat. See >>56674138 's picture for the clubbing tool used. It's done so that only the little pointy end penetrates the skull and destroys the brain, killing it quickly.
>>56674636
Its not so much that.
I really understand that, and I personally get my meat from a butcher and local farms actually now.(Cant happen everywhere though)
But seals are generally an noninvasive species, unless you are a fisherman(where once again, they are literally trying to survive eating their natural food) I am perfectly fine with hunting them if they become a problem though.
But I hate industry surroudning them, just like whales. I am fine with niche towns/villages hunting them for literal survival purposes, and even trading. I absolutely despise industry surrounding these animals though, so I guess I am not so much against the killing as I am against industry.
Seals are also very important natural prey/predators in a lot of places, where as livestock arent.
>>56674528
Ima fuck you.
>>56674624
>I'm shit at preparing seal
>this means the meat is bad
>>56674527
>>56674663
>>56674769
Not clubbed. Hakapik'd.
>>56674663
>>56674769
Hmm I see. I don't know much about clubbing either, but if it's quick and as painless as it can be, then I don't see a problem with it.
>>56673957
We all know how this thread is going to go, so why not stop wasting everyone's time and cut to the chase?
Meatfags/Sociopaths:
>ANIMALS DOESN'T EVEN REAL! I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT!! ONLY HUMANS MATTER AND ONLY ONES THAT LOOK LIKE ME!!
Sane people:
>Hunting a shit. We don't need it and the only argument in favor of it is might makes right and the naturalistic fallacy. Period.
Neither of these opinions will change no matter how much arguing occurs because they're not a matter of knowledge vs ignorance, they're a matter of personal character.
>>56674769
Theyre simply clubbed. The point is to hook the dead seal and drag it easier
As someone who actually clubbed a seal on a trip to the north with family, I highly recommend everybody try it. highly liberating and instant respect from abbos

>>56674769
>It's done so that only the little pointy end penetrates the skull and destroys the brain, killing it quickly.
Wrong way around there m8. It's actually the blunt side that's used to kill them by crushing their skull (they don't have very hard heads, especially juveniles). It's similar to the idea behind a stun gun for slaughtering cattle.
Anyways, the hooked side is for dragging them around once they've been bashed, since they're a bit slippery to grasp while wearing gloves.
>>56675129
>>56675014
derp, thanks for the clarification canadabros.
>>56674981
>>Hunting a shit. We don't need it
You'll be singing a different tune when the Seals empty out the north eastern sea of fish and fuck up the ecology.
We removed their predators from existence, so if we want to retain a semblance of balance, we need to take the role of being their predators.
>Y-you don't want me to be bashed to death, do you anon?
>>56674299
I wouldn't cook anything past medium rare anyway, it just turns the meat into leather and destroys the taste. I'd love to try seal meat though.
>>56675232
>Those god damned seals are ruining the environment.
Are you really seriously being serious right now?
>>56674337
How's sucking that nigger dick going for you libtard?
>>56674867
>"m-muh industries"
Libcúcks
I never hunted, being a city person and all, but so long as you don't just kill to kill; I don't see the problem.
Hunting for food and shit is just what living things do.
>>56675129
It depends mate. Here in Norway we club them then spike them, and are legally bound to do so.
>>56675390
Do you live in northern Canada or Alaska, where you likely have a better understanding of your area, or are you part of the lower 48, without an idea of conservation in that region?
Don't you fucking kill those cute fuckers
barbaric
they thought to themselves "what's the cutest animal i can thump on the head?"
if they had a soul, they wouldn't be seal whackers, they would be slug whackers, or bug thumpers
>>56675592
>>56675612
They deserve it lads
As long as they're killing adult males and stopping once the population is in check, by all means.
I just hate when faggot natives or faggot governments hunt a species to near extinction and then 50 years down the line everyone starts asking "What happened to all the Hipposearhinodos?" and then there aren't any left for future generations to enjoy, both as hunting targets and as things to watch and enjoy (Or in some cases, as pets).
And naturally, they need to be using at least most of the parts.
If you're going to kill an animal, you best eat the meat, turn the fur into a festive hat, and maybe use the bones to fashion table legs for an end table in your living room.
>>56674420
>lel. I do wonder about the mental state of those people doing that for a living
>>56674420
Wanting money... So they can live.
>>56674420
>walking up to a seal and clobbering it
This.
I'm all for tracking down an animal and knowing I could end its life but if I don't need to use it for food/warmth/culling numbers there is no point.
Poaching endangered animals should be punished by drawing and quartering.
>>56675253
>>Y-you don't want me to be bashed to death, do you anon?
Nah, you're ok. It's only yur mom that we're gonna club. Ok, eh?
Oh man I saved this picture 8 years ago and I finally have a reason to post it
>>56673957
It's like shooting dogs man it's weird to look at but they aren't my people and they aren't my icebergs
>>56676090
Would be so much easier to shoot them in the head. Even at close range like that. Bashing their brains in destroys the fur of the head as much as a gunshot would.
>>56676208
Guns would produce two big fucking holes and would get blood all over the fur.
>>56673957
Nasty. Ought to be banned.
>>56675947
I don't think you understand what poaching means. Also, seals in canada are not endangered, and hunting endangered species is not legal in public lands.
>>56675729
I don't think you have any idea what you are talking about
>>56675729
If I recall correctly there is almost a 30-50% natural death rate during the first winter for seal cubs.
Also the fur for a grown up is worthless beyond the blubber and gelatin in it so that renders only killing adults moot.
Also the meat is more akin to whale meat, so many do not eat it because they are picky faggots.
Really? Collecting the bones? That's fucking retarded. We are seal hunting by ship, with limited storage space and you want us to fucking process the fucking bones and make it into bloody furniture?
Maybe you shouldn't open your mouth on things you have no fucking clue about.
>>56674196
This
Riding on fishing boats shooting seals with a .303 are some of my fondest memories
>>56675568
>If we don't kill all the animals ourselves, they'll go extinct!
I love this argument. We have a similar one here about deer. It's bullshit no matter where it's repeated or what animals are substituted.
>>56676390
Yeah, and with the deer, their population is tracked and monitored. I've talked with game wardens in my state and WI, and done some research. You have no idea what you're talking about.
You should really just stop eating meat all together. If you think hunting is inhuman and barbaric, where you get your meats in general is worse, unless you raise the animals yourselves or know someone who does.

Im actually from small town Atlantic Canada.I know probably more freinds and family than i can count that have been sealing. The facts are around here the economy is very seasonal as we dont really have a whole lot of industry fishing and forestry in the summer and mass lay offs after around christmas. not only this but what we are doing is basically killing the surplus population so those seal fuckers dont rape the shit out of the fishery. everyone here even the most libtarded students know that there is alot of bullshit propaganda about the seal hunt.
>>56673957
if you gotta eat... I honestly think seals extreme cute aesthetics should be appreciated. Seriously sea mammels are top cute.
>>56676782
cute
>>56676593
>Yeah, and with the deer, their population is tracked and monitored. I've talked with game wardens in my state and WI, and done some research. You have no idea what you're talking about.
Actually, I do. Most naturalists are pleb as fuck and don't actually understand ecology. Deer are fine. They don't destroy everything in a fiery deer apocalypse without predation. It's just alarmist bullshit that hunters use to justify their sociopathy. That's all it ever boils down to.
I don't eat meat. And most humans are barbarians. I mean look what you're doing. You're destroying your own species and as many others as you can. You're fucking cancer.
>>56673957
Lesser species exist to serve the superior.
>>56676383
Should have done it the traditional way
>>56677046
Das right whitey. Keep slavin ad work so i can riot wit me senpai an get muh welfare checks in the mail
>>56677090
kek'd
>>56676802
Fellow CB /pol/ack? Agree, all the local fishermen fucking hate seals
>>56677035
Now it all makes sense. Gotta love you self righteous vegetarian/vegan types.
>>56673957
Their population has bombed since the 1960s and the current hunting rates are sustainable. It's perfectly fine.
>>56674528
Your picture is retarded that's a sea lion
>>56677318
>Your picture is ret
So the caption should be "if she say she don't want this dick, SEA LION"
>>56677538
In Russia, seal hunts you.
>>56677262
I'm right though. If everyone on Earth were peaceful vegetarians we'd have paradise. Instead everyone's a malicious meatfag and the world is hell and mankind is racing towards its own extinction. Smug won't prevent your death or the death of your corrupt society.
>>56677652
>>56677652
>>56677652
>f everyone on Earth were peaceful vegetarians we'd have paradise
Except for all the malnutrition. Plus protein-deprived people are easier to manipulate (which is why cults often deprive followers of meat) so anyone eating a bit of squirrel on the side could become the next Hitler.
>>56677718
>Any time the very obvious truth is spoken on /pol/ it's "bait"
>/pol/
>redpilled
Pick just the one now.
>>56677781
You obviously don't know shit about nutrition so stop pretending you do.
>>56675253
It's ok, little one, we will bash you to death once you lose your white coat, aka i 15 days.
>>56678021
>You obviously don't know shit about nutrition so stop pretending you do.
I'll bet you think you can feed 7 billion people on soy monoculture, right?
>>56678021
>If everyone on Earth were peaceful vegetarians we'd have paradise
>very obvious truth
>>56675390
>When these assumptions are taken into account, the population is estimated to have increased from approximately 10,000 animals in 1960 to about 330,000-410,000 animals in 2010, depending on which model is used.
They are eating everything in the Gulf of Saint-Lawrence, bro.
I just wish there was a simpler more painless way to kill them that wacking them on the head.
Like an over charged taser that just fries their brain instantly or something stupid like that.
>>56677652
Relax, once you are done with puberty and get a taste of the real world, you'll realize that this illusion of an utopia is showing lack of human understanding.
In the mean time I'm going to enjoy a seal steak that I clobbered myself.
>>56678290
When done properly it is. First you concussion them with the hammer end. Then you plunge the Spike deep into their brain, killing it.
>>56678315
Jealous.

delicious blubber

Fucking mudslimes.
>>56673957
What is the difference between deer hunting and seal hunting? And does it matter whether polar bears or us kill the seals?
>>56673957
It's degenerate to eat meat, or anything else from an animal source. It's not good for your health.
>>56683014
We already had someone come in to bait everyone already. You don't need to try your luck.
>>56675729
>Hipposearhinodos
oh fuck im dying
>>56673957
Nothing wrong with it. If you club a seal it will kill it instantly anyway.
You think orca whales and sharks feel bad when they tear seals in half? No they don't because they are predators like we should be. These people don't kill for fun, they kill for food just like we as a species have done for thousands of years. Humans rule this planet and we are the top predator. We also probably give our prey the most mercy in the kill compared to virtually every other predator.
if they are hunted responsibly there is little risk in hurting their populations either.
>>56673957
As long as they don't go extinct
>Literally rape penguins to death
Disgusting animals.
i got seal gloves, warm as fuck. expensive as fuck too
>>56677259
sydney actually. you from the peer dear or the bay bi. Its not even all the fishermen ive never once met someone who was anti seal hunt saave for a few dumbass mainlanders at coloring book university
>>56673957
Anyone who opposed seal hunting is a faggot loving dick sucking SJW who's a pussy and a tree humping retard
>>56673957
The same as on Whaling, as long as you don't overdo it, its fine.
fucking newfies

Australian fish don't jump. That's carp.
>>56673957
I'm not really militantly opposed to killing them but I couldn't personally do it, too cute. As long as you don't hunt the fuckers to extinction it's fine.
Fur is good too.
>>56673957
Not cool senpai
>>56673957
Poor dog :(
How common is seal clubbing? Is it a seasonal thing like deer hunting that's basically to control population, or what?
>>56686504
Unfortunately most of the countries that are interested in whaling are ones that are infamous for overfishing. At least the Chinese aren't allowed to do it as far as I'm aware; though that doesn't stop them form killing Whale Sharks which is unbelievably irresponsible. Generally though the Japanese practice pretty sustainable fishing methods and they embrace plant-based foods for their weird texture craze.
>>56673957
Just capitalise on it like the Groids do in Afrika.
Charge cunts a shitload of Canadian skittles to shoot one.
