what is the percentage of seals being slaughtered each year?

Answer 1

IN CANADA:
Hundreds of thousands. In fact, over the past three years, nearly one million seals have been killed. The current kill levels are higher than they have been in half a century. The 2006 quota has been set at 325,000. The last time seals were killed at this rate—in the 1950s and '60s—the harp seal population was reduced by nearly two thirds.
And the actual number of seals killed is probably far higher than the number reported. Many seals are shot at and injured in the course of the hunt, and studies suggest that a significant number of these animals slip beneath the surface of the water, where they die slowly and are never recovered.

In Greenland, Harp seal hunting is unregulated. Combined with the number of seals killed as fishery bycatch, estimates of around 465,000 Harp seals in the northwest Atlantic population were killed each year from 1997-1999. These figures exceed the birth rate and therefore there are concerns that Harp seal populations are declining. Harp seals are killed at the same rate as they were between 1950-1970 when the northwest Atlantic Harp seal population declined by as much as 50

Norwegian Hunt
Harp seals are subjected to intensive commercial hunting during the spring at both their West and East Ice breeding grounds, hunt quotas for these populations being jointly managed by Norway and Russia. For the 2001 sealing season Norwegian vessels were allocated hunt quotas of 15,000 adult Harp seals on the West Ice (2 non-suckling pups deemed equal to 1 adult) and 5,000 adult Harp seals on the East Ice (2.5 non-suckling pups deemed equal to 1 adult). An average of 14,778 Harp seals were killed by Norway between 1991 and 1996.

Answer 2

It's too high in my opinion, no matter what it is.

I cannot give you an exact number, I'm sorry. Are you talking about Canada or another country? Each country has different laws, regulations, and quotas, Canada even has regular seal hunts.

Answer 3

why would someone know that...? look up the seals and click on a site.... u'll probably find it there
