h: im not a brutle person, and so i cant see how cracking some helpless seal over the head with a hook and bat is in any way, justifyable.
its pointless for me to try to get this...im helpless when it comes to this type of stuff.
I understand what your saying and this is exactly the reason why we have those who do it and those who prefer not to. Just like with hunting...some go hunting and some don't. Relistically hunting is outdated and unnecessary since we can buy meat in stores and we can also buy deer, elk, buffalo etc. all from stores.
I wasn't trying to justify so much as trying to get everyone who was condemming their way of life to take another view of it and try to understand why they are doing it. Their economy in the northernmost areas are slow and the fish population is dwindling due to over fishing and also the seal population so it is a form of natural selection much like deer and elk hunting are.
