14 November 2015 – Repentance
Seal slaughter: how it was
The Witness
Recently VITA has opened a new column – “Repentance”. Below – new confession of the witness of events, who turned to us after the publication of our press-release about the winning VITA campaign “Zone free from killing” with participating of Russian celebrities, resulted total ban of Baby Seal Slaughter in the White Sea.
The witness:
“I really worked on an animal-killing concern. In 1987, on a trapping schooner. This is horrifying!!!”
Baby seals are absolutely helpless. They cried like a babies. Nobody could work more than 4 months… Men cried. We managed to drink deodorant. It was necessary to survive somehow. It was terrible trade. They were hooked by their eyes and skinned alive.
The trade of baby seals was one of the most unhuman. Over 12 sailors of the fresher-trawler landed on the ice. Absolutely helpless, white with interested beady eyes, the sailors were watched by little seals’ children. And here, a sturdy fellow armed with a hard hook drive in its spire to the eye of a baby seal with all his might. Scream and real children’s weeping, clamor of their mothers were intolerable! The hook which was driven in the eye, clambered to the bridge of nose and, left the trail of blood, the baby seal was dragged to the ship where he was skinned alive. When the skinned pelt of the baby seal was thrown to the mincer, his hurt still pulsed!
Any normal person couldn’t stand more than one voyage. Left the ship deranged. But there is a black sheep in every family. Some liked that. The bullies.
Sometimes I see dreams about it and I cry in my sleep.
It is happiness that killings have stopped. Got over this horror, I became asserted vegetarian, so as my daughter.
Banning of Seal Slaughter is the Huge Victory!!! People finally realized. All hail, life!”
