whack-a-penguin, hehehe.......but, yeah, there has to be a better way of killing them. clubbing is a little medieval, and make sure theyre dead before skinning them.

Chickens and cattle are food, every nation kills them and the US have strict humane ways to do so. I never said hunting deers and ducks and whatever else those rednecks do was acceptable either, but they still do it. "Sport" my ass.
Okay like what? Your talking about towns where fishing used to be the only source of income. Now the fish are gone, (thanks in part to the seals). Your talking about people who don't have a higher education, can't farm because of the climate. What should they do? Melt snow, and bottle it? They can't go work at walmart, cause they don't have one. These a rural areas, you can't just go into a town, and fill out applications because the town probably consists of 5 buildings.

I liked the caption for the photo. "Hunter uses what's called a hakapick". It looks like a bat with a hook taped to it to me. They should have called it a "batwitahooktapedsealwhacker". I guess that's too long and not as traditional.
