Dec 13, 2009 Politics of the Pelt
Every spring Newfoundland sealers head out to the ice flows and every year the protestors follow. The world watches the annual showdown.
Some countries have taken sides in the debate. This past spring, the European Union banned the import of all seal products. It's a move that has people in some Newfoundland communities wondering about the future of their livelihoods.
We travel to Catalina and Twillingate and talk to a fisherman, a processor and a talented seamstress...three people directly affected by the politics of the pelt.
Welcome to Land and Sea
For more than thirty years Land and Sea has brought you stories from people who live off the land and the sea. We cover issues that affect people in rural communities which ultimately affect those in cities as well.
We bring you stories from those who celebrate life living close to nature, who promote and protect their culture and traditional ways of doing things. There are stories of success and sometime failures that portray the unique way Atlantic Canadians deal with the challenges and pleasures of living on the east coast.
Join us Sundays at 12 noon on CBC Television.
