Seal on the menu

Should Restaurants Serve Seal?

 

Yes I think we should put seal on the menu because people are allowed to kill 400,000 seals a year but people only 35,000 per year. Also their meat is so healthy and it has a lot of vitamin A and C. And plus if you eat fish or any other animal it’s no different to eat seal, because some people just don’t want to eat them because their cute. So if you don’t eat them because their cute you’re basically just judging.

But if you eat to much you can make them extinct because they can’t reproduce that fast so soon extinct. Also you can mess up the food chain, so if seals are extinct polar bears can’t eat and if polar bears can’t eat then how can humans eat because people in the north eat polar bears so if seal die polar bears die, and if polar bears dies humans die.

I don’t think that people should add harp seal’s in restaurants because there population will start to decrease and there will be a higher chance of harp seal’s of becoming extinct.                                                                                     I also think why people shouldn’t add harp seal’s in restaurants because most people probably won’t use all of the parts except the Inuit use all of the parts which I think is fine because they are not wasting the them.                                                                                Lastly why I don’t think you should add harp seals in restaurants is because the Canadian government  is now allowing to harvest 400,000 harp seal in restaurants but  people are only harvesting around 30,000 harp seals which might sound like a little amount but some people think that it’s a big amount which I agree that harvesting 30,000 harp seals is an enormous amount.                          This is why I don’t suggest adding harp seal’s in restaurants.

yes:

I think it’s OK to eat harp seal because we don’t harm their population(talk about:4.0 – 6.4 million in the Northwest Atlantic population, 300,000 in the east Greenland population, and 1.2 million in the Barents Sea / White Sea population) and some people like to try something new so it can be a good serving,Also The government allows harvesting seals.The restaurant serves seal on special holidays and it’s located on Vancouver island, many cultures are allowed to have harp seal.Harp seal are very plentiful.

monthly                                  yearly
approximate  3,200                      400,000

no:

The Inuit takes every part of the animal/ mammal,(even the eyes) but if the restaurant just takes the meat then they’re not using every part of its nature’s food source.  one time in music Ms.Con talked about this restaurant and there’s this one soup that’s called shark fin soup but what they do is, they’ll cut the fin off and throw the shark back in the water.                                                                                                                    I didn’t understand why would they do that just for the fin but they’re not using anything else other than that. Harp seals have families too, and we are treating them differently as if you are not the same as them or there are just animals/mammals, also I personally think some people don’t care about things like the climate change.

My Thinking:

I think I’m more on the no side because, If you harm their population soon scientists say that in 2045 the whole society will be into eating harp seal so that’s really bad and soon after that they might go extinct.My thinking is why do we kill harp seals when they have a family and so do we, I think if everyone stops and take a look at what we’re doing then we will be more formative to the world.

I personally think that harp seals are very cute animals/mammals because they are completely harmless and if you’ve seen them you can see how they like humans, at the same time you will like them too! “have you ever pet one before?” my friend told me.                                                                                                                      I hadn’t but you might be able to see them at the Vancouver aquarium, even though my friend said if I ever petted one in my life or your just saying that because their cute but climate change is what’s happening right now so we have to stop pollution for the cause of this planet and others.

I honor them because I don’t want harp seals to go extinct and that we will have to find another food source that we can eat. if I have the right to say this then you do too, so why won’t you stand up for this planet!

Should You Eat Seal?

 

     Eating seals is horrible and I entirely disagree with it. It is fine if the Inuit eat them because it is part of their culture and they use every single part of it. But I have seen pictures on the internet of people killing the seals, taking the meat or just the fur and leaving the rest of the seal to rot.

If we continue to kill and eat seals it will affect their population. I know some people disagree that that can happen but there is a chance it might. We are allowed to kill 400,000 seals a year. I know so far we have killed 35,000, but that still is a lot if you think about it. Killing seals will lead to endangerment and then extinction.

     I learned that when the seals are killed they are not dead right away. That is horrible! I also learned that even the babies are killed only when they are three weeks old for their fur. That affects the population even more.  

The world already kills enough animals and we can survive fine without eating seals. Cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, sharks, fish and many more animals get killed to be eaten. If we keep killing animals and eating them there will be no more and will affect the whole food chain.

Some people think that seals should not be eaten because they are cute. Cows and pigs are cute but they should supposedly get killed. Their look is not important. They have feelings too.

So in conclusion, seals should not get killed. I hope these reasons have convinced you enough so that you have a different perspective on this problem and you will not choose eat seals.

Should we eat seals?

Yes

 Some facts that come with eating seals is that seals are very nutritious, alongside the fact that we are a loud to harvest over 400,000 seals a year. The government’s decision are to be taken, and with consideration. I understand that every one believes in what they may, but people’s arguments  range from dishonesty to saying they are cute. It is clear people had enough of eating animals, which I can respect.

But if eating seals is, in the same world that people eat fish, is not fair. Then why do we even eat animals to begin with? It is not fair that we just take everything for granted, but in the same sense that we eat fish, a point I’ve already made, Eating seals is on that same level. I don’t care how cute an animal is, that does not distinguish the fact that we’re eating them.

Seals

Seals should not be eaten in restaurants because they are living creatures and they might get extinct. But if you do kill seal you should not just eat it but make a coat or shoes. So you youse all of the seal. Instead of just using the meat. I think you should eat seal only if you absolutely need to. Like the inuit they need to eat seal orn they will die. And they also respect the animal. And they use all the the animal not just the meet but the fur and the fat too. So they make coats and shoes so they won’t survive.
