What I think of that the Aquavan when they came to our school is wow! They were awesome in explaining all the different types of sea animals!
They also did really well with showing (two) classes all these animal; skulls,skin/fur,x-oskeleton of a spider crab. Even got to touch live animals like; sea urchins, (got to see)a sea anemone.
And That’s why I like the Aquavan thing in our gym
Should seals be on the menu? Well a Canadian restaurant on Vancouver Island (Edible Canada) seems to think so.
I think that seals, an important part of Canadian cuisine, should be sold. On two conditions. EVERY part of the seal gets used and that we CONTROL how much we take. If we don’t use every part of the seal then who knows where it goes! It could go to the ocean, landfills and who knows where else. And if we don’t control how much we take seals could become extinct or endangered.
Also the government only let’s us harvest 400,000 a year and on average we only take 350,000. More than one million seals have been slaughtered in the past five years alone. The last time seals were killed at this rate the harp seal population was reduced by as much as two thirds.
Some people have their reasons for not eating seal, religion or because seals have a chance of being extinct, but “Because they’re cute” is not a valid one. All animals have feelings but that doesn’t stop us from eating cows, pigs, or chickens. The idea of just not eating seals or any food on the basis that it’s cute doesn’t make any sense.

So, yes, seals should be on the menu. Thank you for reading my views on the subject.
