Why does The HSUS demand an end to the hunt and not just better regulations and enforcement?
The HSUS wants an end to this hunt because it is unconscionable to kill seals for their fur and skin. Moreover, the participation of a civilized nation like Canada in the largest slaughter of marine mammals on earth sets an atrious example for the treatment of our fellow creatures on earth. In addition, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans has not lodged any charges to date in response to the cruelty complaints it has received, despite the hard work of animal advocates who have documented violations and abuses.
