Please take 5 mins to complete this EU form.

Your views are valued.
Please stop any proposal for hunting seals and trading in their products.

Seals take less than 1% of the total stock biomass of fish in the North Sea.
Any decline in fish stocks is due to selfish over fishing!

Seals are worth far more alive than dead and are very gentle creatures.
Ensure future generations can dive with these animals.

I am aware, though, that there are some places int eh world that depend on seals and have done so for generations.

Same here, but I don't think Seal hunting should be allowed as a "Sport"(which was one of the options).

Yes, i think that where it is required for the benefit of the community, and traditional, then it is fair enough withinn limits. They don't tend to be in the 'mass hunting' group and have developed a way of life which may be reliant on the seal in the same way we rely on cows and chickens. Why should we dictate to other communities that they must change their way of life.
I do think, though, that killing for sport isn't right.

had to think about a few questions harder than i was expecting

I dont agree with killing for sport, but can we tell people who impact on the planet less than most to stop there traditional hunting?
