OTTAWA (Reuters) -
Canada's annual seal hunt, the focus of a
major protest effort by animal activists, will
start on Saturday and could last longer than
usual because the ice floes on which the seals
gather are in poor condition, officials said
on Thursday.
Canada says a total of 325,000 harp seal pups
can be shot or clubbed to death this year.
The first stage of the hunt, which takes place
on ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence on Canada's
East Coast, will account for just over 90,000
animals.
Activists, who say the killing is cruel and
unnecessary, say they will film the proceedings.
The hunt officially starts at 6 a.m. on Saturday.
Hunters usually take between five and eight
days to meet their quota but officials say the
ice is much more broken up than usual and
the seals are very scattered.
"It will be slower ... this will drag on," said
Roger Simon of the federal fisheries ministry.
The second and more important stage of
the hunt, which takes place off the coast
of Newfoundland, will start on April 4 and
last for most of the month.
A number of high-profile figures, among
them former French film star
Brigitte Bardot and ex-Beatle Paul McCartney,
have called on Canada to scrap the hunt.

have your say now guys!!!!!!!!!!
