Why don't we hunt cows?
Inuit have hunted seals their entire existence for food and have the right too. They use the seal for clothing, food and source of heat (oil) and medicine. The introduction of the innocent slaughter of seals for fur can never be allowed to happen on the scale it had thin the past years. Your statement that seals eat a lot of fish, well they eat far less than man does without the destruction of other aquatic life in the process. It is their natural instinct and life support, and they truly have earned the right to prosper exist as they have, since they were almost wiped out. It has been a long thought topic about killing innocent seals for fur and for pharmaceuticals. I say leave them alone before we end up talking about them like we already are about the hundreds of other earthly creatures on the endangered list. Open fair game on them again and we will be right back to the start of the endangered stages again, sorry if this sounds harsh But I find this question totally mind boggling.
As for cows, how many seal farms do you see? We raise cows for the purpose of food, hence the word FARM if not for that they would be extinct as well..lol...but see we have a use for cows so we keep making sure we breed them,
