Arguments against…
• The seals are not killed in humane ways• They are killed by wooden clubs, large ice pick like clubs
or guns• Over 98% of the seals are under the age of 3 months• Seals are shot at from moving boats so they are usually
not killed right away, and the hunters have to pay if there is more than one gun hole so they leave the wounded seals to die
• Government regulations about humane killing are not followed
• Seals are sometimes skinned alive

Arguments for…
• Some say it is necessary for Canada's economy
