Whale Meat, Seal Meat, and Seafood contain huge doses of Methyl Mercury - A neurotoxin. Eating Whalemeat, SealMeat, & Fish contaminated with Methyl or Organic elemental Mercury causes brain damage, mental retardation, tremors, and brain tissue damage. Most people are aware of Health Officials warnings about fish, however thousands are unaware that the dosages contained in Whale Meat and Seal Meat is from 10x to 9,000x the dose in Fish. Thousands of times above the human limit. Even worse, some are unaware that eating whale meat, seal meat, and seafood can cause damage to their genitals, cause their future children to be born deformed, or result in their child being born learning disabled. Even 1 ingestion of this material has been shown to cause human damage. The horrible effects of Mercury Poisoning from eating sea food was exemplified by the Minamata disaster in Japan, where Japanese ingested fish contaminated with the substance. Recall that the levels contained in Seal meat in Canada, and Whale Meat obtained by Japanese Whalers are 10 to thousands of times the levels in fish. By the time a human ingests the whale meat or seal meat, the seal or whale has ingested thousands upon thousands of fish, and builds up using a process known as Bio-Accumulation. Japanese, Inuit, Norwegians, and Faroese who have ingested whale and seal meat are now so contaminated, that their tissue samples can be classified as hazardous waste. Chronic metal toxicity is a concern in the Canadian Arctic. The findings of high metal levels in wildlife, marine mammals, and the fact that these are used as traditional food by Newfoundlanders and Natives constitutes a major threat to human health. We examined exposure to trace metals through traditional food resources for Inuit living in the eastern Arctic. Mercury, cadmium, and lead were found in local food resources as normally prepared and then eaten. Elevated concentrations of mercury ( ~ 50 micrograms/100 g) were found in seal liver, narwhal mattak, whale meat, and beluga mattak, and relatively high concentrations of cadmium and lead ( ~ 100 micrograms/100 g) were found in seal meat. Any person supporting the Seal hunt is hurting Inuit, and Canadian citizens who ingest seal flipper or any type of seal meat, or omega3 seal oil product. Any person supporting Japanese Whalers is hurting Japan, hurting Japanese citizens, families, and children. 鯨肉は水銀中毒をあります。 くじら クジラ 鯨肉 くじらのすいぎんちゅうどく 日本 鯨類研究所 ン シーシェパード
