[quote=SETH,274124]I agree with SHESGOTTOBE. I am not squeamish about most things, but images of the brutal slaying of seals are truly disturbing. However, there are traditions and rites embedded in human culture that are hard to erdicate, and equally difficult for 'outsiders' to comprehend. I find myself on the fence in some cases - like traditional Eskimo hunting practices, since there is respect for animals in that they are taken for food or clothing. But 'blood sports' like bull fighting, cock fighting, and dog fighting - to me - involve truly cruel humans exploiting animals for the sheer pleasure of seeing them bleed to death or violently kill each other.

I do appreciate the principles of Kosher and Halal when it comes to the humane slaughter of animals for food. But other forms of killing animals - for fun, trophies, or whatever reason other than food - just makes no sense to me. Isn't it sad and a bit frightening to think that some humans ARE truly cruel and have a blood lust for killing animals or watching animals be killed?[/quote]
