La Payette a envoyé une lettre de désespoir par erreur...

[Animal 0]

Senator Celine Hervieux-Payette accidentally sent an e-mail intended for one of
her seal-killing allies...to a seal defender! Note her comment: "I tell you,
we are close to losing the war. Faced with an unprecedented offensive by
American lobbies, our government is providing an unfocused and limp reaction.
That is why I am planning a major counter-offensive, but I cannot do it without
the authorities' cooperation and your support. I am counting on you!"
Try this e-mail address when writing to her:

Enjoy !
Captain Paul Watson's response to her letter of desperation.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH C'EST TROP BON !!!!!!!!!!!!

Canadian Senator Sees Defeat for the Seal Killers



One of the most hysterically outspoken defenders of seal clubbers is Senator
Céline Hervieux-Payette of Quebec.



In a holiday greeting to her supporters she admitted that Canada is losing the
fight to defend the cruel killing of seals.



Earlier this year, Captain Paul Watson debated her live on the Mike Duffy CTV
television show.



The Senator admitted then that she had never witnessed the seal slaughter when
Captain Watson asked her to justify her claim that the seal hunt is the most
well regulated humane slaughter of animals in the world.



Senator Céline Hervieux-Payette Holiday greetings are below in both English and
French,
Captain Watson has inserted his comments in the English version.


......................


From Senator Céline Hervieux-Payette

Dear Madam, Dear Sir:



With the parliamentary session at an end and the holiday season upon us, I want
to thank you for supporting my position in favour of the seal hunt and the
ordinary Canadians who practice this subsistence hunt.



The Senator does not have to thank voters because Senators in Canada are
appointed for life by the Prime Minister. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau
appointed Céline as a Senator because; well, let's just say they were good
friends.


You were one of the 2500 people who wrote me to encourage me, and I can tell you
I drew strength from all those messages.



Wow, 2500 people in a country of 30 million and the strange thing is that most
of the people who wrote to her were opposed to the seal slaughter and all
received her holiday greetings. Céline you really should read your mail and not
register every message received as a positive statistic.


I also want to take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones a happy
holiday and the best for 2007.



We Canadians have built a responsible country that does as much as other
countries, and sometimes more, to protect its animal species. We are as
sensitive as the Europeans or Americans to life in all its forms and to the
preservation of animal biodiversity in particular. The Royal Commission of
Inquiry chaired by Justice Malouf, in 1986, issued a detailed report on the best
practices to adopt for the seal hunt. She concluded that hunting with a club,
when done properly, is not cruel and is in fact often less cruel than the
killing methods used in commercial slaughterhouses.



Canada does not even have an Endangered Species Act and the mass slaughter of
over 325,000 harp seal pups hardly qualifies the nation as "responsible" and
"sensitive". Justice Malouf is a man Céline. His name is Albert H. Malouf. It
was not Alberta. This is just another indication of how mis-informed the Senator
is on the issue of seals and sealing. Anyone who has witnessed the slaughter
(The Senator has not) or has viewed any part of the hundreds of hours of video
footage available will dismiss the lies of the Canadian government that the
slaughter is humane. It is horrifically cruel. To say it is humane is sort of
like accusing Canadian mass child murderer Clifford Olson of mildly abusing
children.

The battle is not finished though: in late July, I went to the Magdalen Islands
to meet the seal hunters. I took the opportunity to offer my support for the
creation of an association of hunters, seal-product workers and Aboriginal
representatives to counterbalance all the future propaganda against the seal
hunt.



Gee, not another association Céline. More bureaucrats to waste more tax payer
dollars. There are no aboriginal people involved in the East coast seal hunt and
there are no aboriginal people living in the Magdalen Islands. The aboriginal
people of Newfoundland the Beothuk peoples were exterminated along with the
Newfoundland Wolf, Labrador duck, walrus, auk, sea mink and numerous other
species by these people who embrace killing and extinction as part of their
culture.


More recently, I met with parliamentarians from Europe (Great Britain, France,
Germany) and Mexico and saw how little they know about the seal hunt and the
lives of Eastern Canadians.



Of course they can't know any less than Céline does herself. I think many of
them have actually seen the videos. Word is that they were not impressed.


We Canadians can be proud of the complex but fascinating and envied country that
we built while remaining true to our values. I defended those values in the
governments of Pierre Elliott Trudeau and Jean Chrétien. Now, under the
leadership of Stéphane Dion, I will do more than ever to defend them and to
ensure that the voices of minorities are heard.



As a Canadian and a Maritimer, I am grossly ashamed to be a citizen of a nation
that inflicts such horrific cruelty on defenceless animals. In Canada it is
illegal to witness, film or photograph a seal being killed. That is not a value
to be proud of. Ignoring Kyoto, slaughtering wolves, polar bear and whales are
not activities to be proud of. The complete destruction of the Northern cod is
an embarrassment and massive clearcuts of the forests are shameful. As a
Canadian from a fishing community in New Brunswick, I can say that the Senator's
values are not my values.

Also just how did she defend these "values". No one elected her. She just shows
up, cuts few ribbons, attends luncheons and collects a hefty check for life for
feeding at the public trough. Canadian Senators are parasites. The position is
bestowed out of favouritism for favours given and we know what favours you gave
Mr. Trudeau, don't we Céline ?



But nothing lasts forever and Prime Minister Harper's policy shows just how
quickly this image of Canada as open and tolerant, diplomatic and measured,
multicultural and peace-seeking can disappear if we are not careful.



Yes and the seal slaughter is an obscenity that we are working to see abolished.
We don't want the slaughter to last forever and yes we are intolerant of
cruelty, waste and slaughter as any sane person should be. We want no part of
cultures that identify themselves with cruelty and slaughter and such cultures
should not be tolerated in Canadian Society.



As for the seal hunt, it is clear that Stephen Harper's government is not doing
enough to protect the interests of Canadians. It is also clear that the Bloc
Québécois has nothing to say on the subject. Who really cares about a handful of
Canadians whose way of life is shamelessly denounced by influential groups?



We care about the seals Celine and Stephen Harper is on your side you silly
little unelected Senator. He's a bigger defender of your darling little club
wielding knuckle dragging thugs than your previous idols Pierre and Jean. Do we
care about their culture of slaughter? The answer is NO. DO we want to see this
culture destroyed? The answer is a resounding YES. The Bloc Quebecois obviously
have more important considerations and your darling Liberals, well, they've run
the environment into the ground over the last three decades but it really is all
about partisan politics with you Céline.


I tell you, we are close to losing the war. Faced with an unprecedented
offensive by American lobbies, our government is providing an unfocused and limp
reaction. That is why I am planning a major counter-offensive, but I cannot do
it without the authorities' cooperation and your support. I am counting on you!



Thank-you Celine for acknowledging that the sealers are losing the war. I would
like to correct you on something. The people who have led the fight against
sealing for the last 30 years have been primarily Canadians. Rebecca Aldworth is
from Newfoundland. Farley Mowat lives in Cape Breton, Brian Davies is from New
Brunswick. I am from New Brunswick. I realize you don't know much about the
history of opposition to sealing but you should be made aware that the struggle
to oppose sealing is a Canadian movement, born in Canada and led by Canadians.
It was Canadians who reached out for foreign support in the United States,
Europe and the rest of the world because foreign pressure is the only pressure
that the Canadian government listens to.



So you are planning a major counter-offense. Oh we are scared already Céline.
What are you going to do? Make it illegal to witness or document the seal
slaughter? Oops that's been done. Heavy sentences for violators who dare witness
the slaughter? Maybe another Royal Commission to white wash the blood away? How
about a public announcement stating that the hunt is the most well regulated,
most responsibly managed, most humane slaughter of animals on earth? Yes that
will get everyone's attention. Or do you intend to go out on the ice and bash a
baby seal's little head in yourself to demonstrate your support for the
slaughter. Maybe you should do a little research on the issue before shooting
hysterical Christmas greetings off to a list of "supporters" most of whom oppose
you because you're to lazy to read your mail.

ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU AND HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your loved ones.



The Honourable Céline Hervieux-Payette, P.C.
