Shes 19, has a gun licence and is a beauty queen being hailed as an unlikely hero of Canadas fading commercial seal hunt
She has a firearms licence and plans to join her grandfather and uncle on their annual seal hunt this spring,
She says she was raised in a family that goes seal hunting and she has a hunting licence and will join the hunt this year.
she said.
I wore the sealskin jacket because I do support the seal hunt.
Green grew up in Winterton, west of St. John’s, and comes from a seal hunting family.
She said she’s proud of her heritage and she’s taking advantage of the negative publicity to stand up for the province’s annual seal hunt.
I realized this was a great opportunity, Green said. I’ve been getting a lot of encouragement and positive feedback from everyone.
Green has held a gun licence since December of 2008 and intended on joining her family in the seal hunt this year, but she feels that all this media attention has contributed to her enthusiasm about getting out on the ice.
Before the story even broke, I had plans of heading to the ice for the hunt this year, she said. The story just made me more excited about going. Its a family affair, its a big deal for us, and I personally cant wait to take part in that tradition.

The Rowdyman
(Canada, 1972; Director: Peter Carter; 95 minutes)
Written by and starring Gordon Pinsent in a larger-than-life performance, this 1972 classic gave cause for hope to an indigenous cinema based on people and landscapes recognizable to Canadians as their own. The Rowdyman was one of the most important English-Canadian films of the seventies, made when the feature film business was just getting underway in a meaningful fashion. This wonderfully energetic and appealing film reaches beyond its modesty to strike a chord that still resonates today. ”
