Commercial-free
Regardless of one’s stance on the commercial seal hunt, hunting animals on protected land should not be allowed. The Nova Scotia government has set a dangerous precedent in allowing commercial sealing on protected Hay Island. What’s next? Clear-cutting in Dollar Lake Provincial Park? Strip-mining in the Ship Harbour Long Lake Wilderness Area? Nova Scotia’s protected areas belong to ALL Nova Scotians, and commercial industry has no business there. —Tasha Wilson, Halifax

I disagree.
They will not be hunting all over Hay Island, or did you not know seals don’t go romping through the woods !?
No they hang down on the beach, & that is where the hunt will be & the rest of your sacred island will be unharmed. Chances are after the first tide or the first storm…no one will even know anyones been there !
