@simonea214 thats true that clubing them isn't the best way to kill them but it is also true that they are wiping out cod and other ground fish because they are over populated which means they need more food but since ground fish are getting more uncommon seals are starting to starve. i don't actually hunt them though i just know people who do.

@taylorecooke That doesnt mean you should club them in the head. And just because they arent "close to being endangered" means that you should kill them all untill they are? And fyi, seals gotta eat to. If people werent so greedy with the halibut, cod, hake, and lobsters then maybe it would seem that the seals arent talking as much, which the probably arent. And even so, Im pretty sure you guys could find more civilized ways to kil them instead of clubbing them in the head.

@simonea214 seals are killing everything we eat they are no where close to being endangered because every time you go to a net theres 50 seals tearing the fish and nets apart. people wonder why there is no halibut or cod or hake left or why lobster populations are dropping its because of seals so dont go around saying screw canada.

Seal hunting is sick and pointless. Hunters hit them in the head with clubs and shoot them in the face. Thats just uncivilized and disgusting. And on top of that it wastes millions of tax dollars. Seals are just killed for a profit or execpt the very few times when people actually eat the meat. They are gonna become endangered too because of effin humans. SCREW YOU CANADA!
