Newfoundlanders ... great people .... Newfoundland ... great province ... for people who travel,, it is a must on their itinerary ... I often have thoughts about selling up, and moving out there.

If you would like a few thousand let us know .... could throw in a few hundred baby harp seals too.

seems the baby seals make good eating ...Surprising seal magret, avec cocoa sauce - The Appetizer ...
seems with a yearly cull of over 300,000 seal meat should be on menus everywhere, wonder if there is a market for the flippers as a 'cheapo' shark fin substitute in the chinese community

You guys from over the pond are in danger of upsetting a lot of our wildlife lovers over here, it has an all different meaning to us than it does to you

Over the centuries you guys have almost denuded your country of wild life ... so when it comes to criticizing others, you guys don't have a leg to stand on. The annual seal hunt is necessary for many reasons; but it wouldn't have been necessary if the god damned Europeans hadn't overfished the Grand Banks ....

Eric I wasn't criticising your lot at all mate, I was merely pointing out that over here people look a what goes on in other country's and pass judgement. As you are probably aware we have more than our fair share of tree huggers over here, that just don't understand the concept of real life necessities. I'm a great lover of nature, but would never think of pressing my thoughts on people who are directly effected by the over running of nature which interferes with their everyday lives

Guess I over reacted ... sorry about that ... nothing personal intended .... but it does bug us over here when Paul McBeatle shows picutres of baby harp seals, and talks of boycotting Canadian products ... baby seals (and baby bears) are cute and cudly; but the adult harp seals, if unculled, could destroy a fishery already sorely hurt by overfishing. And the fishery is the livelihood of thousands of Nefoundlanders. An unculled seal population could eat so much fish, that subsequent generations of seals would suffer starvation, and die in much larger numbers than those our govt sets for the cull.

Exactly my point Eric, that's why I never had an opinion about banning hunting the with dogs issue over here, you don't see too many Toffs (as Mancie calls um) riding though Hyndburn on horseback, chasing foxy woxy, but I have seen the carnage they leave in a hen house, and believe me its not nice, and insistently that carnage was in Ossy too, about the only time I've spewed my guts up when not ****ed, a bloody horrible site, and I mean bloody

Eric..........I dont think the subject of livelyhood and fishing will go down well with the majority...........Fleetwood a fishing port, not too far from here are down to 8 inshore boats and 2 offshore trawlers...quotas from the EU restrict one boat to 500 Kilos of one species for one month.....this can be caught in one day....anything above that has to be dumped and cannot be landed.
You say thousands of Newfoundlanders are worried about their jobs... 50% of the boats in Fleetwood will be de-commisioned within twelve months....then there was five.
Dont believe all you read in the rags you support.

Newfoundland was built on the Grand Banks fishing ... and the outports still live off it ... I remember Fleetwood, even Knot End. The fishing grounds have been screwed over by over fishing ... I remember reading that Cabot told Henry Vll that the cod on the Grand Banks were so numerous that one could walk on them. No more. However, we are now policing our territorial waters more rigourosly. We even built a new class of warship, the "Kingston Class", which is specifically designed as a coastal defence ship, and is often used to warn off foreign fishing vessels that come into our territorial waters.
