However, the seal hunting season on the Canadian east coast will soon start. It is interesting to see that journalists/columnists, who the day before were writing about the importance to get the tsunami victims back on foot and to restore their livelihood, the next day are very adamant in not allowing the Canadian fishermen and seal hunters on the Canadian east coast to restore their livelihood which with the help of the media was destroyed by the Eco Terrorists (ET) about two to three decades ago.

One has to admit that the ET understand how to use the media. Their strategy has been excellent. They develop their case and they ensure that there is a sensational aspect in it. That common sense is completely lagging, does not mean anything. When a case includes a sensation, it is perfect for the media. Everybody will gobble it up, and some journalists and columnists will write about is as if it is their own opinion. A good example is the "Save the Seal" campaign which was started a few decades ago. The ET developed some very graphic pictures of the seal hunt including the killing and skinning of the baby seals. The pictures were shown on the world TV's and the ET scored a major victory in their effort to destroy the eco system of the world.

The Canadian government closed the seal hunt although there were lost of warnings that if the seal hunt was closed, the balance of the ecosystem on the east cost would be destroyed which would have a very negative impact on the livelihood of the people in the north west Atlantic.

A few years ago, the Canadian government acknowledge that the warnings that they had received were correct. The seal population had exploded from about 1.8 million to more than 5 million, and because a seal eats fish, the cod fish stock had been completely decimated. The result, the livelihood of the fishing communities on the Canadian east coast, the north coast and on the west coast of Greenland had been destroyed.

In the article I read a few days ago, the columnist was strongly against the seal hunt and that the seal at all had any impact on the fish stock had not been proved 'scientifically'. Apparently, it was not possible for the columnist to se the logic in that if the seal population in the area was increased three fold it could only have a devastating impact on the cod stock. For sure, the ET are very sophisticated in brain washing people. It is not the old primitive and rude method as used in the old USSR. No, develop a case, give it to the media, which is not questioning anything, and not at any time applying any common cense to assess the information, and in no time a public opinion/perception is developed based solely on misinformation. As soon as a public perception has been developed, the ET are going after the politicians who are in charge of the different wildlife/fishing management programs that the ET wants to close. The politicians having been elected from the general public, urban or rural, are following the perception of the general public. No matter if it is right or wrong. Few if any politician has the spine to stand up and oppose the will of the people. Reelection is more important than maintaining the balance in the ecosystem.
