Seal Hunt Cont.
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

This is just two actions that i know that have been in effect to stop Canada's Cruel Seal Hunt

1. Parts of Europe have banned Canada's seafood and seal furs products

2. Some U.S. states and Canadian citizens have boycotted Canada's Seafood Industries

If you know some others please respond, so i can add them to the list.

Cod Collapse on Canada' s East Coast
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

In 1992 Newfoundland and Labrador, the cod stocks collapsed, the Canadian governmeant then realized that they had to close the fisheries causing over 40,000 people to lose their jobs. Communities struggled to recover from this state of shock.The Canadian government had been warned by scientists and environmentalists that the cod stocks were overfished and overexploited before this catastrophe had gone any further. This is a great example of outcomes when overfishing occurs. The future is still unclear for the cod stocks, but this catastrophe has become a warning bell to other countries that practice this overfishing.

Canada's Cruel Harp Seal Hunt
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Help Save the Seals! Every year the Candian seal hunt is taking place in the north were its the largest slaughter of marine mammals on Earth. Every year there are about 250 000+ seals killed by hunters for their pelts. These mammals are killed very in humanly, most being skined while still conscious. Many killed are younglings called white coats because of their white furs, as they get older their fur sheds and turns darker. After the seals are skinned, hunters usually leave the carasses on the ice or dump them in the sea. The oraganization that control the total number of allowed seal deaths is called the DFO, they were responsible for the cod fish collapse as well in Canada. If this continues further more the seals will be in a state of risk of extinction.

Destruction in a Food Chain
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

All creatures have a job in an ecosystem right? What happens to an animal is threatened to extinction, and finally extinct? Other animals in the same ecosystem try to fill in the spots taking over the jobs of that extinct/diminishing creature. Soon the species thats trying to fill in the missing spots will mass produce if there arent much problems to get in the way not giving a chance to the dwindling decline species a chance to replenish having its territory stolen to neighbouring species. For example Trout populations have declined in a lake, their neighbours Carp fish quickly take over their territory and greatly reproduce soon out numbering the Trout heavily.

Also Over-fishing has not only destroyed fish species it has also destroyed the species that have relied fish as their main source of food, being starved to death causing other species to collapse then continuing the destruction of other ecosystems and food chains (The lower the species is on the food chain the greater the damage it can cause to the species a level ahead of it ---> starvation). For example Salmon species decline due to over-fishing, bears who often base its diets on fish such as salmon (This does not involve Winny the Pooh in the case his die t is based on honey) begin to stave and die off, and also birds that feed on the bears leftovers of their meals.

So would you agree with me when i tell you that over-fishing isn't a problem in which we have to replenish our declining fish stocks, but as well its been destroying hundreds of other food-chains just because certain fish species cant regenerate their stocks for other species survival?

I Agree
I Disagree

Solutions
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

In my last blog I was asked what should be done about this event (over-fishing) happening each day. Well some solutions that have are being used as this is typed is fish farming, meaning capturing wild versions of diminishing species of fish and mass farming them to regain their lost population, later releasing some of them back into the wild. Another solution that has lasted temporary worldwide is having a ban on fishing in some coasts for months that have caused fisherman that fish around those coasts with much grief due to no work available to pay for whatever payments or living expenses. A third solution was to limit the amount of fish people were allowed to fish for recreational fishing to 1-2 fish a year.

So which solution do you find best for the world to adapt to?

A) Fish Farming
B) Fish Ban
C) Limit the amount of fish, you can fish
D) Become vegetarians! (Which would save more money)
