End seal massacre - Despite a public outcry across the globe, hunters in Canada massacre hundreds of thousands of seals every year in order to sell their skins and rake in profits. Sealers bludgeon seals with clubs and 'hakapiks' (clubs with a metal hook on the end), drag conscious seals across ice floes with boat hooks, and toss dead and dying animals into heaps, leaving their carcasses to rot because there is no market for their meat. Seals are also shot, but bludgeoning is preferred because pelt buyers deduct money for each bullet hole in a seal's skin.
