This is the second picture of a seal i drew for the artist B cause club.
the first one look like chewbaca and didn't capture the horror i felt when i saw these films on you tube. Then i thought about whats the worst part of this and it has to be when the hunter is fixing to strike and looks at this defensive cute puppy/baby looking animal and turns something off inside and only sees dollars signs. This is one "F' up world we live in i am a shame to be called a human some times. I am very happy that i captured the moment i wanted i am very pleased with the way this turned out. about 6 hours ps cs and about 1 hour drawing the shadow and the seal.
OK just in case you don't want to read the whole comment this is about canadian commercial seal hunting in Canada in and uninhabited region not eskimos feeding there family.
Actually,our physiology and digestive tracts are set up to be more herbivorous than anything. Carnivores have an intestinal tract that is only three times their body length so rapidly decaying meat passes more quickly through their bodies. Humans on the other hand have much longer intestines that are 10-12 times the length of their bodies like that of herbivores. We sweat through pores like herbivores instead of perspiring through the tongue like carnivores. We have no claws as carnivores do, nor do we have sharp front teeth for tearing. Another note on our teeth- even herbivores have canines- horses, rhinos, hippos, tapirs, musk deer, water deer- just to name a few. Carnivores also possess acid saliva without ptyalin to pre-digest grains, whereas we possess alkaline saliva which does, like herbivores. We also have salivary glands in the mouth which are necessary to pre-digest grains and fruit, something carnivorous animals lack. And finally, carnivores have strong hydrochloric acid in their stomachs to digest meat. We have stomach acid that is 20 times weaker than that of a meat eater.
Granted, MOST people do use guns to shoot seals, but many Inuit- (INUIT, people, NOT Eskimo! Eskimo means 'raw-meat-eater' and is the equivalent of dropping the N bomb on a black person)DO still hunt traditionally with a hakapik (club).
As for commercial seal hunting, I'm against it completely. It's one thing to hunt seals when you're in an environment where land only grows in small patches and you can't grow enough vegetables to support an entire community in frigidly cold and snowy temperatures, but it's a totally different story entirely to kill innocent animals for fun, profit and greed, especially when they're still half conscious when they're skinned alive.
And seal hunting was NEVER banned in Canada, otherwise people wouldn't still be doing it, and our Prime Minister wouldn't have gotten all uptight and offended by the animal rights protesters accompanied by Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills a couple years ago. However it is technically illegal to kill baby seals. The Inuit, themselves, don't see much point in killing the babies as there is more food potential when they grow into adults. (My boyfriend's Inuit, so I get the information straight from the horse's mouth).
cool no dis ment to the inuit people. that be like being made at native american indian for hunting dear and buffalo. commercial seal hunting sucks. Ive had many aperson say the white seals or pups and there not allowed to hunt them. but if you watch the green peace videos they look white to me.thanks for the digestion system scoup.native pepole kill what they need, and usely use all of the kill. not just collect fur. thanks for your very inteligent comment, on my pictures and my views there greatly appreciated.
