| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
| On a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is very low and 10 is very high, how would you rate your level of knowledge regarding the annual seal harvests in Canada and the reasons why they take place? |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| The majority of information regarding the Canadian seal harvest as conveyed to the public by animal rights groups is true and accurate. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| Commercial seal harvesting in Canada is subsidized by the government, and is performed only to support remote coastal communities. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| Canada’s commercial hunt is ecologically unsustainable and threatens the extinction of seals in Canadian waters. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| Commercial seal harvesting in Canada is performed in an inhumane manner. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| Seal blubber, which accounts for a substantial portion of total body weight, contains large proportions of long chain omega 3 fatty acids and offers significant cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory health benefits to humans. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| The amount of commercially marketable fish consumed by seals in Canadian waters annually represents approximately seven times the commercial fishing quotas set for such fish species. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| No commercial markets exist for seal meat or seal oil because consumers globally do not wish to consume them. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| Based solely on your personal consumer ethics, please indicate which of the following products you would consider purchasing or consuming. Please choose all that apply. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
| The Canadian seal harvest should take place if it's demonstrated to be humane and ecologically sustainable, and endorsed as such by mainstream wildlife management and animal welfare groups. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| The Canadian seal harvest should take place if its occurrence can help prevent the future extinction of fish species such as Atlantic cod, herring or mackerel. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| The Canadian seal harvest should take place if it would allow distribution of seal meat and oil to global markets, providing significant health benefits to human consumers, relief for those suffering of hunger and malnutrition, as well as benefits relating to healthcare and medical science. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| Opposition to the Canadian seal harvest is reasonable and warranted? Why or why not? | | | | More effort and resources should be dedicated to improving public understanding of the sealing industry and the seal resource. | | | | More people would buy and use seal fur or seal leather products if the facts surrounding the seal harvest were better understood by the public. | | | | More people would buy and use seal fur or seal leather products if by doing so they were supporting hunger relief in poverty stricken nations. | | | | More people would consume seal meat if it is offered in a familiar product form (such as a seal meat lasagna, seal burger, etc.). | | | | More people would consume seal meat or seal oil if the health benefits and facts surrounding the seal harvest were better understood. | | |
