Canada’s increase in the quota for killing seals has once again caused global controversy (Figure)

  What awaits innocent baby seals may be the fate of being killed.


  


  The hunter clubbed the seal on the head.


  Canada’s commercial killing of seals has long been protested by many animal protection organizations around the world, but strong opposition can’t stop this cruel killing. The Canadian government even increased the quota for killing seals in 2008 to 275,000, an increase of 5,000 compared with last year, which triggered widespread criticism and protests around the world.


  The killing scene is extremely cruel.


  Every year from March to April, Canada conducts large-scale commercial hunting and killing of seals. These seals are either shot with guns or hit on the head with sticks, and the scene is extremely bloody. At the beginning of hunting, the hunters in the dinghy shot at once after seeing the seal on the ice. After killing the seal, the hunters peeled off the fur from the seal and threw it into the dinghy. Seal fur will be used to make leather clothes, and the bodies will be discarded.


  After the seals were shot, the hunters began to check their sex. If the female seal is killed, cut open and peel it on the spot, leaving the stripped flesh and blood in place; When they meet male seals, they drag their bodies to fishing boats, and then send them to processing plants for subdivision later. There are also some hunters who are extremely cruel. They snatch the baby seals directly from the mother’s arms, knock these young and helpless lives to death with sticks, and immediately peel off their fur. When the baby seals, who had just been born for two or three weeks and were starving, were lying in the sun on the smooth ice, the hunters’ sinful bullets had been continuously fired at their young bodies. Poor little guys have been skinned and boned before they can eat solid food, swim or even catch a cod to satisfy their hunger.


  Seals, a beautiful animal, are killed because they are all treasures, and their fur is used to make high-grade garments. In addition, their adipose tissue contains an unsaturated fatty acid called "omega 3", which is more than that of natural fish. People extract this substance and make it into precious nutritional supplements for sale in the market, and the demand is very huge.


  Animal protection organizations expressed strong protest.


  The cruel killing of seals, like whaling, has attracted protests from many animal protection organizations from the beginning. Many animal protectors think that the killing of seals is so cruel that there is no one to talk about. Sherry, a member of the International Animal Welfare Foundation? Sheryl Fink said that she was surprised that the Canadian government continued to increase the quota for hunting seals, and said that this behavior should not continue. She said: "This resolution to increase the quota for killing seals is unfair."


  As early as 2005, some environmentalists began to urge some American restaurants to boycott Canadian seafood unless the Canadian government stopped the commercial killing of seals. They said that the EU will soon introduce a ban on all seafood imports from Canada. Some animal protectionists say that the current Conservative government in Canada actually allows the killing of seals in order to win the support of the eastern region in the next federal election.


  However, despite the wave of protests, the Canadian government is indifferent. Phil Jenkins, a spokesman for the Fisheries and Oceans Department of Canada, recently denied that the population of Harp Seals in Greenland has decreased. He said, "At present, the number of Harp Seals in Greenland is good and sufficient, about 5.5 million. We hope to see these animals continue to grow healthily, so we have been keeping the number of seals killed within a reasonable range for many years. In addition, he also said: "We have a conservative method to keep the number of seals. We think that killing 275,000 seals is not enough to pose a threat to the number of seals." It is reported that the Canadian government has planned to set the date of killing seals in late March. (Dong Nan)

British media said that Putin secretly accumulated more than 40 billion US dollars in assets during his eight years in power.

  New Express News The British "Guardian" quoted internal sources of Putin’s government as saying that the Russian Kremlin was fighting among billions of dollars of state-owned assets, and it was revealed for the first time that Putin had secretly accumulated more than 40 billion dollars (about 300 billion yuan) of assets during his eight years in power. It is said that he owns large shares in three Russian oil and gas companies, and whether Putin can keep his assets after leaving office has become the core issue.


  Putin is the richest man in Europe.


  In an interview with the British newspaper The Guardian on the 21st of last month, Russian political scholar Bierfus said that Putin holds the shares of three Russian energy giants through overseas opaque trust funds, including 37% of Surgutneftegaz, Russia’s third largest oil development company, with a value of 20 billion US dollars (about 150 billion yuan) and 4.5% of Gazprom)4.5% Putin’s personal net worth exceeds $40 billion, making him the richest man in Europe.


  Cover up with an overseas company


  According to the report, Putin owns as much as 75% of the Swiss-based Gunvor oil trading company founded by his friend timchenko. Gunvor’s operation is very mysterious. It has neither an official website nor an office in Moscow, but this year it announced an astronomical profit of 8 billion US dollars (about 60 billion yuan) and a turnover of 43 billion US dollars (about 330 billion yuan).


  Berfsky said: "Putin has at least $40 billion, how much is unknown at most, and maybe there are other businesses I don’t know … Putin’s name will certainly not be made public on the shareholders’ register, and these offshore companies will not make public equity transactions."


  Putin’s wealth has always been a taboo for Russians. This time, it was revealed that the current internal struggle in the Kremlin is an important incentive. It is reported that Medvedev and other "liberals" nominated by Putin as the next Russian presidential candidate are competing with a group of national security agencies headed by Xie Qin, deputy chief of staff of Kegong, for the control of billions of dollars of state-owned enterprises’ assets.


  An out-and-out "businessman"


  Bilfsky, who has written about Putin, believes that western countries have been deceived by Putin’s image as a "new Soviet" politician. He described Putin as a "typical" businessman, believing that money makes the mare go, and his ideas were deeply influenced when he worked in the mayor’s office of St. Petersburg, which was in the early 1990s when Russian crimes were rampant.


  Bieshi said that money is the only way for Putin to achieve his goal. Panfilov, the leader of Transparency International in Russia, pointed out that the "random" corruption of the Russian government in 1990s had evolved into "systematic and institutionalized corruption" in Putin’s era.


  The oil company responded


  Putin is not a "beneficiary"


  Gunvor Oil Trading Company issued a statement on 21st, denying the rumor that Russian President Vladimir Putin was the "beneficiary" of the company, which was the first response of the company on the relationship with Putin.


  Tarnqvist, CEO of Gunnvor, sent a letter to The Guardian, in which he said that it was "extremely wrong" to say that the company benefited from its close relationship with the Kremlin. Putin is not the beneficiary of the company’s business activities, and neither he (Putin) nor his friends are shareholders of the company.


  Tarnqvist also said that Gunnvor’s profits were exaggerated. He acknowledged the revenue figures reported by the media about the company, but refused to disclose its profits in 2007.
