Product Information

Every single event in the Cornish Tri & Mini Tri Series requires 50+ volunteers. Be one of them and make a difference to hundreds of kids and adults. ROLES Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall: He was at the heart of everything in the first half, running around with determination and getting himself in the right place to set up chances. Unusually, he seemed more quiet in the second half. 7 Robert Cushman Murphy's book of letters Logbook for Grace describes the expedition of the sealer Daisy in 1912 to South Georgia Island, and includes many details about the brutal elephant seal fishery there. To qualify for the Overall Series Awards, athletes need to complete a minimum number of 3 events (any combination of events) AND VOLUNTEER themselves or bring a volunteer along to at least 1 event. While you can mix Sprint and Olympic distance entries to compete for the Sprint Series awards, you can't mix Sprint and Super Sprint entries as the latter have their own, beginner friendly, Super Sprint awards.

Owing to the want of proper restrictions, the indiscriminate slaughter was terrible. It is recorded that in the years 1814–15, 400,000 skins from one island, the Antipodes island [...] were taken. [...] In the years 1803 and 1804 upwards of 36,000 skins were sent from the islands in Bass Straits [...]. Along the shores of New Zealand, as well as the southern shores of Australia, large numbers of seals were found. In New Zealand a vessel from Boston, called the 'General Gates,' landed a part of six men near the south-west cape of the Middle Island on the 10th August, 1821. In six weeks the party got 3,563 skins. In the early 1980s, the European Union banned the import of whitecoat seal skins, effectively removing the principal market for the hunt at the time. For the next decade, the numbers of seals killed in the hunt dramatically declinedand the harp seal population began to recover. Namibia's Ministry of Fisheries announced a three-year rolling quota for the seal harvest, although different quotas per year are sometimes reported. [87] [88] The latest [update] quota announced was in 2009, valid until 2011. [89] The quotas are usually not filled by the concession holders.

Namibia is the only country in the Southern Hemisphere culling seals. Although the protection and the sustainable use of natural resources is part of Namibia's constitution, it claims to conduct the second largest seal hunt in the world, [86] mainly because of the huge amount of fish seals are estimated to consume. While a government-initiated study found seal colonies consume more fish than the entire fishing industry can catch, [87] animal protection society Seal Alert South Africa estimated less than 0.3% losses to commercial fisheries.

Internationally, opposition to the seal hunt is comparable to abhorrence about the treatment of animals in other cultural-economic practices such as bull fighting, fox hunts and whaling. Within Canada, public opinion is relative to Canadians' geographic proximity to communities with a historical tradition of participating in the seal hunt, and opposition is higher in urban centres outside of Newfoundland and Labrador.

We also hold our own Club Championships and Team Challenge where we look to involve every member of the club if at all possible. In 2005, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) commissioned the Independent Veterinarians Working Group Report. With reference to video evidence, the report states: "Perception of the seal hunt seems to be based largely on emotion, and on visual images that are often difficult even for experienced observers to interpret with certainty. While a hakapik strike on the skull of a seal appears brutal, it is humane if it achieves rapid, irreversible loss of consciousness leading to death." [123] Ecological feasibility [ edit ]
