It's a myth that baby seals are still killed. Juvenile seals are still harvested. It's got nothing to do with sport, it's mainly to reduce the seal's predation on fish stocks and the income for sealers is a bonus. It's not as if anyone claims that harp seals are an endagered species. If anything, there are more of them now than ever. If it's morally wrong to kill juvenile animals, then the veal and lamb industry is a lot larger offender than the seasonal sea hunt. If someone went to rural New Zealand and told them to leave those sheep alone, they would be told to go get stuffed. Why are people so suprised that folks in seal-hunting areas feel the same way?

Contrary to what you believe (which is wrong) they do not allow public hunting of seals, (tourism as you suggest) After the ministry of natural resources realized that the overpopulation of seals was delivering a catastrophic blow to the atlantic salmon population, it was decideed to reinstate the controlled hunt of harp seals. The hunt is conducted by the native Inuit people who need the income to survive. If the seals were left unchecked then they would have totally wiped out the salmon stocks and then they all would have starved to death. Are you telling us that you support letting poor inocent seals die of starvation? You are a sick and cruel monster! Thank god that Canada and Norway have the good sense to club these little menaces to the world ecology down to a sustainable population. Open your eyes and have a look around, what are you doing to save the world?

Some people eat baby cows and baby sheep. Does that make them killers too?
While I understand your thinking, what is this going to do? Do you know the reason people kill seals? Do you know that natives from around the Arctic circle have been killing seals for hundreds of years AND wearing their skins?
If you kill a seal for the fun of it, you're right. It's wrong.
If you kill a seal for food and clothing, you're wrong. For some people it's a way of life.

You asinine twit. Stop spreading filthy lies. Besides, baby seal "pogo sticks" are just too delicious not to club them for... (I hear they serve them next to whale burgers in Japan...)
