Based on the fact that it is ******* for independent parties to monitor the seal hunt without a permit, which is never granted, the figures about how "humane" the clubbing in the head method is, is under dispute. It is also under dispute whether the sealers go to the trouble of even checking. Considering that they are on the ice, in freezing cold, having to work between weather systems, these are valid concerns. But, for anyone to independently establish facts, they get arrested and their boat/equipment is confiscated. If Canada has such a hard-on for defending this practice, how about some transparency. Cloaking the practice of sealing in secrecy makes for a sinister impression.
I thought the U.S. didn't have an official language.
You still didn't really answer his question. What are the negatives of it? Can you even think of any negatives besides largely emotional ones that are some variant or another where they shouldn't be ****** because they look like cute cuddly animals. Even if, hypothetically, they did experience a painful death, so what? Most animals that die in nature end up experiencing one, and unless the person doing the ******* is purposely doing it to be sick and sadistic should it even matter, if they are doing it in the most efficient manner available to them?
What's also not taken into account is the fact that many of the people that hunt them live in near abject poverty and rely on it, and people don't seem to bother to give them an reasonable alternative. It's easy to sit in a chair thousands of miles away and condemn them for something like that.
Deer, elk, bear, antelope all have natural skills that they can use to evade hunters.
