Whales, Canadian Seals, Rare Earth Metals, Fish Farming

It all comes down to whether or not it is sustainable.  Right now Whales are not sustainable so there does not seem to be any reason to continue killing them.  It is just not right.
Canadian Seals are not endangered.... there are plenty of them.  In a world a 7 Billion people, there has to be diversification so that the whole world can eat.  Not everyone can eat meat.  Not everyone can eats vegetables.  If some of everything that is available is used, leaving the population  a sustainable number the world can go on. Seals eat an awful lot of Atlantic fish.   If there is a market for Seal meat and Seal fur it adds to the world feed and clothing problem, and leaves the Canadian Seal at a reasonable number and gives the people in that area of Canada a living.  We are in favor of Canadian Seal hunting.  The PR people use a film clip from back in 1970 and it offends anyone who sees it.  But things changed... white seals are not hunted now, only large adults.  There are controls and rules, like any business. Recently Ashley MacIsaac, a world renowned Cape Breton fiddler confronted PETA.  Talking to reports he said there a 3 million extra seals than can be naturally sustained.
Rare earth metals.  Now is this sustainable?  All these computers, robots, cell phones etc.  People think nothing of getting the newest model and then throw the rest in the storage.  We've heard that a company now wants to mine the moon for rare earth metals.  Just how does one justify that cost.
Fish Farming....   Norway is forbidden to have Fish Farms in their own country because they are afraid of it killing off the Atlantic Fish.   Our British Columbia, Canada government allowed Norwegian Fish Farms to come to the B.C. coast, which is proving to be very wrong and should be shut down.  Fish farming of Salmon here in Canada is not sustainable in the fact that it is killing off the natural Salmon in our viewpoint.
