I also feel that GOD has spoken to help to stop the slaughtering of the Harp Seals. I hope that the time they spend there will be used more contructively, and they reflect on their actions towards the baby seals. I believe that we have enough other man made resources available to make "fur" coats etc, that we dont have to murder baby seals. I dont wish for them to freeze to death out there, but I dont think it would hurt them to get a little FROST BITTEN!!

Joyce Carnright, Pawtucket, RI

perhaps this is the kick they need to stop messing with nature! I hope they all get home safely, but perhaps they will think twice before going out next year.
If we stop interfering with nature, maybe it can start to look after itself. After all mammals existed on the planet before we did!

pretty ironic. as a canadian, i resent that my my abundant tax payments are used indirectly to support this cruel stupidity.

Forty years ago I marched with hundreds of others to the Canadian Embassy in London to protest against this hideous slaughter. I would never had dreamt it would still be happening today. Perhaps now Mother Nature will be the one to stop this disgusting blood bath against a now endangered species.

Maureen Roth, Salvador, Brazil

Has there ever been such clear evidence that there is a higher force of good (God, Karma etc.) acting in the world? Just like the Spanish Armada. I say let 'em freeze. It's a less painful death than they were about to hand out to those innocent creatures. The worst part is that we Canadian taxpayers are going to be on the hook for the millions of dollars involved in rescuing these losers, which is WAY more than the seal pelts themselves would've ever been worth. STOP SUBSUDIZING THIS SLAUGHTER CANADA! It's sick and it's economically useless!

Clubby the Seal, Iceberg, Canada

The comments of Quit and Datton are childish. The key problem with the debate over the seal hunt is that it has descended to childish, factually incorrect, levels and gratuitous abuse. This has totally destroyed its credibility in the eyes of the Canadian voters, who are very ecologically aware. The lack of reason and integrity has lead to the impression amongst Canadian voters that it is more of an exercise in raising money for the organisations involved than an honest attempt to influence Canadian law.

Hell has frozen over. Stop killing seals!

It's called karma my friends.

Jason Halvorson, Vancouver, Canada

These are the same people that opened thier homes after 9/11 to thousands of Americans and others that were stranded for weeks, when the U.S closed thier air space, and you wish that they freeze to death. Maybe you should should read up on the facts apposed to listing to propaganda, and then maybe base your opion with knowledge on the subject .For that matter any subject. Unfortunately as a society we all tend to take what is reported, advertized as the truth. These animals rights groups are playing games with the facts and you are paying for thier life styles, when these people risk thier lives to put food on the table for thirr families. Think before you condem.

When you club defenseless baby seals while they are alive, I have no sympathy for you. I'm glad they are trapped. Maybe they will have time to reflect upon the misery they are about to inflict upon defenseless beautiful animals.

Jacly Tejeda, Houston, TX

I think this is what my husband would refer to as "karmatic". I do hope they get home okay, but also hope this severely impedes their ability to kill seals.

Erica Smith, Chandler, Arizona,/USA

I hope all these seal hunters freeze to death and their vessels sink.
These guys have no place in this world.

Quint, SLO, USA

This is the best NEWS In the WORLD that these sealers are stuck on the very ice they skin those poor defenseless baby seals alive. They deserve to lose their vessels and freeze to death, the world is tired of this atrocity and it needs to end. This is a sign, make your money in some other way, it's 2007 not the 1800's and animal suffering will not be tolerated.
