I'm hoping that everyone gets out safely, but still...



Seal Killers Stopped at Sea

April 21, 2007 — Mother Nature has put a cold stop on one of Canada's most controversial hunts.

Two weeks after the start of Newfoundland and Labrador's annual seal hunt, more than 100 vessels became stuck in heavy ice and at least 60 remained immobilized.

Crews face food, water and fuel shortages as they wait for the ice to break up.

The Canadian coast guard has been resupplying stranded boats, and the crews in the greatest danger have been airlifted to safety.

"In some cases, there are vessels at risk of sinking once the ice frees up because of the hull damage sustained," said Capt. Windross Banton, from aboard his coast guard icebreaker vessel.

2. I second your *snicker*...
I too hope that everyone is safe but I really don't have any sympathy for the situation they are in. Chalk one up for Mother Nature!

AND I hope they were terror stricken to equal the dosages they were dishing out.

I am sure they were not that afraid since the mighty Coast Guard were available to rescue their murderous asses.

(However, I pity the poor forlorn stranded seals as they watched in innocence, spared by this karmic revenge......thanks, fivegan, for the small and brief laugh of revenge and score of 70000 to one on the part of the underpups)

5. I'm trying to feel bad about this....
Nope. Nothing.



A wise many once referred to this as reaping what one sows.

7. Instant Karma!
Knocked 'em right off their feet, didn't it? :nopity:

I don't wish them harm, but haven't they heard that it's not nice to fool (with) Mother Nature?
