Seal Hunt in Canada: Extend the Barrier

The Canadian Sealers Association, an umbrella organization for Canada's sealers, is proposing to greatly extend the barrier between sealers and protesters, which is currently set at 10 metres. The federal government is seeking input on whether to double that barrier to 20 metres, while the Sealers Association is looking to extend that barrier to a mile, or sixteen-hundred metres.

I think that extending the barrier is a great idea. In fact, this is necessary to ensure the safety of the sealers. After all, this terrorist has endorsed assassination as a means to save animal life. The hunt is slated to begin in a few weeks, and there will definitely be numerous posts in the coming weeks. I don't think that these post-materialist celebrities and other misinformed do-gooders should interfere with hard-working people trying to support their families. I wonder Paris Hilton could survive a week living in an economically depressed region of Canada. Judging by her actions on the Simple Life, I don't think she'd survive a day. 'Club sandwiches, not seals...' Get Bent!

So, you support the right for individuals to protest tuition increases and cuts to university budgets; but you do not support people to protest the seal hunt?

Isn't it a little hypocritical to say that people that don't agree with you shouldn't be allowed to protest? Then again, I guess not everybody is a fan of democracy.
