Seal hunt court case Here is one example where truth won out over emotion
Newfoundland heroesThe Advertiser
Another great piece by Averill Baker
It happened seven years ago in Newfoundland. I can remember it as if it were yesterday.
It was like a stage play and the first act was about to begin. The stage was set for the most important legal case in Newfoundland sealing history.
The largest anti-sealing organization had sent cameramen to the hunt for two years posing as friends from “American Sports Hunter” in the United States. On the stand they admitted they lied to DFO. They came to Newfoundland armed with a letter of introduction from Ottawa, and with the written approval of the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans. The sealers, before taking them out, confirmed with DFO on the telephone that the Minister had approved them and that their letters of introduction were authentic.

I meant to mention this also - wrt to this article a friend of mine (newfinland.blogspot.com) contacted Averill and she told him this:
"She said that an expert in court said that part of the film of the charged sealer was edited 70 times in one minute, and that a professional video editing team called the "Paradore Communications” in the US, did the work. Her impression was that major Canadian media get their footage from groups like the SSCS, HSUS, IFAW, Peta etc. So anytime people see this, they may likely be viewing tampered video anyway."
