I've always been in favour of:
If you're cruel to animals, then that exact cruelty should be used against the offenders.
I'd pay to see these guys get thrown up and hit with poles.
Fuckin meathead scum, rot in hell

They shoot adult seals, they still club baby seals in order to not ruin the fur/pelt/skin. AND they re opened seal hunting less then a year ago I beleive.

My uncle is a sealer. He told me they don't club the pups. Now, my uncle is either:
a) a man with strong morals who couldn't possibly club a seal to death;
or
b) a lying cunt

Point taken.
Doesn't really change the fact that the only reason people are up in arms about this is because they're cute.

Some facts about the annual seal hunt off Canada's East Coast:
Species: Almost all hunting is directed at harp seals.
Population: Estimated at six million, almost triple what it was in the 1970s.
Hunters: In 2004, there were 15,468 licences issued to seal hunters, but only about half of them actually took part. The industry was valued at $16 million a year.
Quotas: During 2003-2005, the catch limit for harp seals was set at 975,000. The limit for 2006 is 325,000 -- 91,000 in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and 234,000 for next month's larger hunt off Newfoundland and Labrador.
Rules: The youngest harp seals, known as whitecoats, cannot be killed until they loose their white fur.
Age: Harp seals can lose their white coats as early as 12 days after they are born, but most of the harp seals harvested are about 25 days old.
Pay: A top-quality seal pelt can fetch about $70, which is near the record high.
Area: At least 70 per cent of the hunting is done off the north coast of Newfoundland in an area known as the Front. A much smaller sealing industry operates in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, but it receives most of the attention because it is easier to reach by helicopter.
Methods: Hunters in the Gulf often use clubs called hakapiks, but many are using rifles this year because ice conditions have prevented them from getting close to the seals. About 90 per cent of hunters in Newfoundland use rifles.
