Yup - Those at the top of the chain fishing for seals with clubs and
rifles. No worse or better than killing a cow, chicken, pig, dolphin

According to the newscast, there are more than a million seals and
pups on the pack ice.The fishermen go out to cull the herd every
spring. If this crop of seals matures and returns to the ocean, their
numbers almost guarantee the end of the cod fishery as cod stocks will
be decimated. This will affect food supplies, fishermen, and packing
plants from Newfoundland to Massachusetts. The ony other natural enemy
to the seals are sharks, and they are getting scarce.
