Canadian Biostitutes Lay Groundwork for Slaughter of
Seals
The Canadian Department of Fisheries and
Oceans has announced that despite the slaughter of
more than one million harp seals over the last three
years, the harp seal population continues to grow.
Biologists employed by the Canadian
Department of Fisheries and Oceans have announced that
the population is now 5.9 million seals up from 5.5
million in 2000.
�The current harvest (slaughter) doesn't
appear to be having a hugely detrimental effect on the
population," said Gary Stenson of the federal
Fisheries and Oceans Department.
Canada intends to continue to promote
large-scale killing of seals until the population
falls to 3.85 million.
Canadian officials did not explain how they arrived at
the population figures. Harp seal expert, Dr. David
Lavigne said, "They have killed far more animals that
they thought the population could sustain, we've had
environmental problems on top of that ... (so) why is
the number so high?"
�It underscores a point we've made on
numerous occasions -- there is a considerable amount
of uncertainty in estimates of populations," Lavigne
told Reuters,
Commenting on Newfoundland�s VOCM Radio on May 25,
Captain Paul Watson said, �I place no stock in the
DFO�s population figures. These are the same people
who said that cod fish populations were healthy up to
the day the cod fishery collapsed. These scientists
are hired whores; they are not biologists but
biostitutes.�
Captain Watson said that the method used to determine
seal populations is �eyeball estimates� primarily from
sealers.
�I was out there for two months this year,� said
Captain Watson. �And I can tell you that there are not
six million seals out there. John Efford was saying
there were six million seals five years ago and this
seems to be the official number every year. I find it
interesting that Efford uses the number six million at
the same time he states that we need a final solution
to the seal problem.�
In 2003, the DFO predicted a population of 4.7 million
and now it is up to 5.9 million despite the fact that
over a million seals have been slaughtered and ice
conditions and storms have taken the lives of tens of
thousands of additional seals.
�Where are these figures coming from?� Said Captain
Watson. �I�ll tell you where they are coming from.
These estimates are arrived at politically and rubber
stamped by the paid whores of science on the payroll
of the DFO.�
Captain Watson also told the people of Newfoundland
and Labrador courtesy of VOCM radio that more seals
were needed and not less. �There was no shortage of
cod before the arrival of Europeans and tens of
millions of seals were here. Why? Because the seals
and the cod are part of a complex ecological system
whereby the seals limited the species that prey upon
young cod. Lower seal populations and you increase the
population of fish predators that prey upon cod.
Additionally we must not forget that it was the
factory drag trawlers that annually decimated the cod
populations and drove the fishery to commercial
extinction.�
The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is promoting a
worldwide boycott of Canadian fish products in an
effort to bring economic pressure to bear on the
Canadian fishing industry and the Canadian government
to end the bloody slaughter of seals.
Canada intends to announce a new kill
quota for 2006 before the end of the year. The
groundwork is being laid now to make that quota even
larger than the average of 350,000 killed each year
over the last three years.
�I will not be surprised to see the quota set between
400,000 and a half a million seals a year, �Said
Captain Watson. �Canada wants these seals wasted, they
want them gone and obliterated. This is a policy of
specicide and has nothing to do with wildlife
management and everything to do with eliminating the
seal from the marine eco-system for the simple reason
that ignorant fishermen believe they are a threat to
the cod and these fishermen vote and the seals do
not.�
