Won't ignore activists Newfoundland Fisheries Minister Tom Rideout says the province is taking a new tack on the seal issue, choosing to challenge animal rights activists instead of ignoring them. His province has both a traditional Inuit hunt in Nunatsiavut and the commercial hunt, which puts $70 million into the pockets of people who are normally unemployed every winter. "We're not going to be content to sit back and have lies, in particular, misinformed opinion, go unchallenged so we're going to be proactive from here on in, defending the seal hunt of a sustainable resource humanely harvested," Rideout said. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/north/story/2007/02/20/seal-nunavut.htmlhttp://www.cbc.ca/canada/north/story/2007/02/20/seal-nunavut.html#skip300x250 Partager ce message Lien à poster Partager sur d’autres sites
