. . . But more to the point, seal products may threaten human health . . .


Guest Commentary by Debbie MacKenzie
Seal oil leaves a fishy aftertaste...
while idiotfish*, but not seal meat, is a formally accepted name for Canadian seafood

But more to the point, seal products may threaten human health.

Seal products may pose human health risks
What are the health risks?
Brucellosis (found in Canadian seals)
Trichinosis (found in Canadian seals)
Botulism (associated with ingesting seal oil)
Who knows what else? (chemical pollutants, viruses in seal meat that can kill mink,
nasty skin diseases, etc.)
What should be done about the poor health of Canadian seals?
Admit seals are not fish, but mammals, and can transmit significant infectious
diseases to people.
Stop eating seals and using their tissues for any purpose, including furs.
Leave them alone.
What are the veterinarians saying?
What about the idiotfish*?

Excellents arguments. Mais je ne comprend pas ceci : What about the idiotfish*? Ou alors, c'est pcque je n'ai pas encore été voir l'astérisque dans le lien de l'article ???

Le lien qu'il avait ajouté concernant cette mention ne fonctionne plus Cé, mais j'essaierai de trouver ce que c'est...

IDIOTFISH is an acceptable seafood name:

D'accord, Do. La question était peut-être tout simplement "Et qu'en est-il des fruits de mer" ???

Il s'agit de poissons Cé (les sébastes...) - des poissons de fonds je crois

Sebastolobus alascanus et Sebastolobus altivelis

Ah d'accord, Do. Je suppose que c'est un poisson qui contient beaucoup de BPC ou autres.

bizarre qu'ils aient affublé ces poissons d'un tel nom

Mais oui, c'est donc bien crétin de la part des idiots d'humains.
