  • There is a lot of misinformation on both sides about the commercial seal hunt in Canada. Which makes it difficult to get the truth.

    But to call people who are engaging in the hunt using traditional or modern methods as evil is some fucking bullshit. Most times it’s a group who don’t understand the nuances, using a standard that doesn’t apply.

    Now, saying that there aren’t problems with the hunt would be rather disingenuous, and most of the anti-hunting groups deliberately misrepresent the facts because seals are cute. At the same time, the industry associations and hunters themselves are biased.

    There is a way to ethically hunt seals, and having a market to sell the meat and fur is imperative for that. I’m not passing judgment on the hunters if the animals don’t suffer, and they stick to the quotas and guidelines set forth by the DFO.
