(CP) — The way Newfoundlanders seé it, Hilling seal pups Is no different from slaughtering calves fot veal and fine leather. , ‘The Newfoundland government Is trying hard to put this view before the people of North America and Europe. For it is from the big popu- lation centres of both con- tinenta that the protesters come, And the protesters are hurting the market for geal pelts. “The seal harvest is nothing more than & com: merelal abattoir operation and should be treated as such," says a statement from Newfoundland Premier Frank Moore being dis- tributed this winter at news conferences across the United: States, Canada and Europe. “Not only do we regulate the number of pups to be Idlied each year but the method of slaughter is the - most. humane, as has been agreed by leading animal pathologists In Canada and abroad as well as by humane society experts,” the statement says, ‘RACISM’ ALLEGED But the protesters and sealers are not merely in disagreement over @ com- mercialoperation, A clash af cultures is becoming more discernible this year with Newfoundland community leaders using words like “racism” in reaction to statements by the more vocal protesters. to use a small vessel. Seven Canadian ships and five. from Norway will participate ja the hunt for harp and hooded seal pups in the ice area known as the Front, north of Newfoun- dland, when the season opens March 10, Land-based hunters on Newfoundland’s northeast coast had taken more than 5,000 adult seals by mid- February. Unilke the ships, coastal fishermen do not have to wait until an opening date but may take seals when the animals first ap- pear. The total allowable catch for the entire northwest Atlantic this year is 180,000 harps and 15,000 hoods. This Includes 10,-000 harps for Greenland. Last year the total was 170,000. The federal fisheries service says the harp seal population could actually sustain a catch of between 227,000 and 245,000. SHARE INCREASED - The combined total for the Front and Gulf of St. Lawrence’ is 170,000. Canada’s share is increased to 135,000 from 125,000 last year while Norway's quota remains at 35,000. The allocation for Canadian ships remains at 62,000. One Canadian ship may be allowed to hunt in the gulf this year. The gulf seal herd has been barred to large vessels in re- cent years with moat of the bunting done by residents of the Magdalen Islands in Quebec, who were permitted ox TERRACE ALLIANCE CHURCH Pastor Roy Taylor Sunday 9:45 - Bible Schoo 11:00 a.m.-Praise and Instruction ‘David’s Last Words" 7:15:Family of God Fellowship ‘Hope at Thessalonica’’ Wed. 7:30 p.m. - Bible Study & Prayer ZION BAPTIST CHURCH Cor, Sparks & Keith Pasfor Paul Mohninger Office 695-2407 | Home 635-5309 Sunday School 9:45 a.m. Morning Worship me am, UPLANDS BAPTIST CHURCH Pastor D.K.

PROTESTS EFFECTIVE Protest groups such as the Greenpeace Foundation of British Columbia ‘and the Fredericton-basedIn- ternational Fund for Animal Welfare _ (IFAW) — have convinced much of the rest of the world that Newfoun- dlanders are brutal killers, said John C, Lundrigan, rural development minister. Lundrigan said the abwe heaped on a Newfoundland delegation holding seal hunt news conferences in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Vancouver was close to racism. He said reporters gave the Newfoundland del- egatlon | a fale hearing but members of protest groups hurled insults. He said-some callers on openline programs in the ‘U.S. and in Vancouver showed extreme prejudice but others supported the Newfoundland position. Brian Davies, execuilve director of the IFAW, has said he plans to concentrate his protest in the European fur markets this year. Davies was convicted last year of breaking ‘seal. hunt regulations by flying a helicopter less than 2,000 feet ne THE CHURCH YOUR CHOICE THIS SUNDAY CHRIST. LUTHERAN CHURCH _ Cor.

Gren ce has refused to reveal the strategy for 1978, saying that if plans were an- nounced in advance the federal fisheries service would make last-minute amendments to the regulations with a view to preventing a protest. Paul Watson, a former Greenpeace member who was dunked in the water last year when he shackled himselftoa wire rope from a ship’s winch being used to hoist seal pelts aboard, later formed the Earthforce Environmental Society. Watson, who was in Africa in February, had said his group intended to fpray seal pups with green dye to make the fur worthless. A similar - plan was abandoned by Greenpeace in 1976. Protest groups in the past nave used television film and color photographs of the gory slaughter scenes on the # ice to raise support. SEALS CLUBBED The seals are killed with a blow to the head by a club or a Norwegian hakapik, The hammer-headed ‘ hakapik with its long handle that aids walking over the shifting ‘floes is becoming more popular.
