"The harp seal herd - the most important seal herd for this industry - is estimated at around five million animals, nearly the highest level ever recorded, and almost triple what it was in the 1970s."

The only 2 things that suck about the seal hunt is the way in which the seal is clubbed and skinned on the ice and the fact that there is no market for the meat.
Sure Inuits and maybe bears eat seal but it seems the carasses are just left to rot or freeze on the ice
