I can appreciate that you aren't doing it to be trendy, but it is a very true statement.
As for this whole affair, I don't think anyone on the against side is having any empathy. The maritimes need the seal hunt. It is hugely culturally and economically significant in their area, and they rely on it for subsistence.
I'm a vegetarian, going on my 7th year, but I take no offense to this. Do I agree with what they are doing? No. However, I can understand why they would feel the need to. Newfoundland and Labrador, especially, relies on the fishing industry. It is the lifeblood of hundreds of communities across the province, and in other provinces, too.
Morality is all fine and well but it doesn't work in reality, and reality happens to be where (most of us) live
