Stop The Seal Hunt !

Todays modern seal “hunt” isn’t really much of a hunt at all… In fact, depending on the condition of the ice flows, the sealers can have varying degrees of difficulty in getting to the seals. Methods include: walking from their trucks, driving up to them with their snowmobiles, or taking commercial icebreaking boats to distant ice flows, then getting out of the boats and walking to them.

Once they find the seals, the true horrific nature of this bizarre event unfolds. The “hunter” usually tries to dispatch the seal before killing and skinning them (a “regulation” put forth by the ever caring government to appease the “fokking seal lovers”) by stunning them first. Stunning methods include: kicking in the face and/ or beating the babys on the head with clubs or hakapiks. Once stunned, the sealer proceeds to skin the animal. The facts show that nearly 40% of the seals are actually skinned alive. Adults and resisting mothers are shot and/ or clubbed and skinned and in the case of males, have their penis bones removed. If convenient to do so, some of the bodies are then recovered and processed into pet food.
