if ne thing should b stoped 4 the pleasure of the kill its rec huntin. ppl pay so they can go out and blow away a bear, deer, moose and the list goes on. ppl go out 2 the seal hunt and kill them as a job not 4 fun. alot of men were lost on the ice, and each time ppl go out its a risk. Its not unusual 2 hear about a boat bein tore 2 pieces by ice. so dont have a dumb thought in ur mind ppl goes out 4 the fun of shootin a gun. every year its a gamble
