An Amicable End to the Seal Hunt in Canada
Last weekend during the annual seal hunt in Canada three sealers died and one is missing and presumed dead after their boat capsized. After the tragedy, an environmentalist by the name of Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society was quoted as saying: "The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society recognizes that the deaths of four sealers is a tragedy but Sea Shepherd also recognizes that the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of seal pups is an even greater tragedy."
