The Canadian government has authorized this year, the elimination of 380 000 seals, 100 000 more last year. The hunt has been launched recently and the increase of victims may be because the EU has closed this year the entry of products derived from Canadian seals, so that this country is now looking to China to export leather and focáceos derivatives.
The arguments and justifications for these genocides animals can go through economic or cultural issues, but they can not hide the fact that what prevails for these acts to be given is the pride of man who assumes that owns the planet. It is certainly an act of human convenience product compared to the other inhabitants of the planet as if it were really damage, animals and plants would the full right to eliminate us once and for all of the Earth.
While the seal reflects the standing of brutal violence towards other human species, in the background is the evidence of what has been happening for thousands of years ago, when man begins to use his intelligence for various purposes. Intelligence that has allowed unquestionable achievements in various fields of endeavor, but it also leads to aberrations that must at least try to correct.
This is because today as never before in our brief passage through the planet, we have produced the impairment to the health of the Earth, which persist in the current pollution and energy use, the viability of the space humans and the planet is severely questioned. The planet will not resist much longer the consumer barrage we have impregnated on it, so the climate change deniers seek to hide the truth. As in other cases, humans are characterized not only by destroying nature or society, but above it encourages myths and denials built with the assistance of agents in all possible spaces.
massacres, genocides, invasions, oppression and other human actions on humans, but are aberrant, at least give, saving the difference in power and equipment, among equals. On the contrary, in relation to other species of animal or vegetable planet, the human acts as if he had an enemy in front, where none of these spaces has never or will endanger, rather we are the infinite potential benefit to all planetary species live or inert.
why reactions to cases such as Canadian seals are not sentimentality, but rather the need for a paradigm shift. Today we are at a key moment in the consumer and extractive paradigm has reached its limit, and a new paradigm are born with difficulty and even contaminated by ideologies that never cared about the relationship with the planet and now if they do.
addition it reflects Canadian humans and nations are no better one or the other whether poor or prosperous. Canada is one of the countries with more robust social protection system in every way and that politically and socially is an example of respect for difference, public consultation and construction of bases on common interests. But as noted, humans have built an altar from which condemns the space being judge and jury, is Canadian, Chinese, Italian, South Africa or Peru.
When we reached the point of questioning our continuity as a species on the planet, some now move their prejudices and intentions of controlling the microscopic level and put all their energy and resources to show that the union of egg and sperm is sacred, and there played the fate of mankind. But surely these same people have no qualms in continuing the extractive model and extinguishment we know. Perhaps
seals cause more anger and grief because they have a friendly face, good-natured gesture, and the irons that humans use to irrigate their skulls burst red blood on polar snow. But this cruel action is repeated every second in every corner of the planet, so it is no coincidence that the rate of disappearance of animal and plant species is growing. There is no other way for humanity to subsist, that a change of consciousness that leads above all to down from the altar to human altar that has been uploaded by and of itself, arrogant and arbitrary.
