Canada has expressed its
support for the seal hunters
of Newfoundland.

"The greatest immorality
in the seal hunting contro-
versy has been the reckless,
indiscriminate, deliberate
campaign of racial discrim-
ination and hatred which has
been fostered against the
people of Newfoundland in
particular and Canada in
general by groups and indi-
viduals whose primary aim is
to raise funds particularily in
the United States and Eur-
ope,” says a report presented
to the council.

The report, done by
Thomas I. Hughes, executive
vice-president of the Inter-
national Society for the Pro-
tection of Animals in London,
says the seal population in
1981 was-nearly double what
it was in 19717.

The matter was raised in
the council out of concern for
what the report calls, “the
forgotten victims,” the fish-
ermen of the numerous small

heavily-indented coastline
who supplement their fish-
ery-based livelihood.
Controversy over the seal
hunt “has gone far beyond
the -rational, scientific and
human levels and has entered

the realm of hysterical emo- .

tionalism,” the report says.
