What happens to the meat of the seals after they are killed?
Most of the meat is left to rot. Some if it is sold to fur farms and some is ground up into animal feed. A few thousand seal flippers are sold for human consumption in Newfoundland. There was also a growing demand for the seal penis bone in the Far East as some sort of remedy for impotence. The penis bones were typically taken from adult males. This market has been impacted by the commercialization of drugs like Viagra.
