Dominion Necessitates Responsibility

This disgusts me. If the claim is true that the seals are depleting the fish supply there are more humane methods of solving the problem that have been implemented in other species. As for a renewed demand for fur, that is no excuse as far as I am concerned. Fur is nothing but vanity taken to a destructive and careless level. Fur is not a necessary clothing item in most parts of the world anymore and certainly is not necessary for those who are buying seal fur. Consider the purpose of wearing fur. Its primary purpose in today's world is to display wealth. Does not anyone else find the use of dead animal as a status symbol rather disturbing? I'm also annoyed with that photo-op with Paris Hilton. Nothing is gained by having that bimbo make fake sad faces. She probably has a fur lined t-shirt that she wears when its considered fashionable. Really, I was so glad that the fur trend had finally seemed to have seen its last days. Then I discovered last year that people forgot why they stopped wearing it in the first place. Its nasty as far as I'm concerned. In fact for years as a child I would jerk away if you tried to have it come in contact with me.
But back to the seals. Here is one serious concern. It has happened numerous times that a country, when they determine that a significant profit can be made, will go against the will of other countries with environmental concerns and will allow hunting to resume resulting in tragic and dangerous depletion of the populations. Don't even try to argue back that these concerns are overdramatized. While things like global warming and whatever do get overdramatized, near extinction and realized extinction do happen. Hunting animals unnecessarily is very suspect in my opinion and hunting near extinction is wrong. God created the animals and gave us dominion over them. However, dominion does not give us the right to remove His creation from existence or to take our responsibility lightly or to do whatever it is that we want with it. Consider that at different times God gave us more options as to what could be done with the animals. It was not until after the flood that we could even eat them! Apparently dominion, which was given to man over the animals at creation, did not necessarily include permission to eat them. What makes us think we can do whatever we want with them for our own purposes under the guise of "dominion"? Sort it out how you will. But Canada's actions seem very motivated by profit and as I consider our responsibility of dominion I begin to wonder if pure excess profit is a justifiable reason. Especially in this case, I would reconsider the wisdom of Canada's actions.
