this is a complex issue. If it were killed just for fun I'd say its not only disgusting, but criminal. But they are killed for a purpose, pelts, meat, etc. But, ask yourself, do you use animals for a purpose? Do you eat meat? wear furs, leather, ivory or other animal parts? use products that were tested on animals, such as some makeup and household products? would you refuse to used medical treatment on your loved ones that was derived from animal experimentation that caused the animal suffering?

The fact is that humans not only kill animals for fun, fur and meat, etc. but as everyone knows, we bring a great number of them into existence for the express purpose of causing them suffering or killing them to in some way benefit us. We even used to do this, and still do it in some parts of the world, with our fellow humans. Maybe it's in our nature to use other animals, including the human ones, for our benefit and survival. Maybe it is impossible or incredibly difficult for most humans to rise above this. What if we are genetically 'programmed' so to speak to use and oppress other animals? Have you ever noticed how often the stronger uses, manipulates, benefits from the weaker much more than vice versa? Maybe only some enlightened animals are able to understand and stop acting this way?

These baby harp seals are killed for their fur.

The meat is not used at all save for the penises that are sold as aphrodisiacs.

Some are literally skinned alive!

The Canadian government fosters & subsidizes this "fishery" under the thinly veiled mistruth that these animals threaten cod fish stocks already decimated by years of over fishing & mismanagement.

Hey people if you don't like it do
something about it!
