Regarding the seals ... the reason they are slaughtered are for their pelts ... to satisfy such demands and wants such as some pimp in Brussels who thinks it is very fashionable as to wear the pelt of some baby seal for underwear ... otherwise who else wants the pelt of a young seal, I dunno anyone who wants one, but there obviously is a demand ... as to the statsitics posted on this thread regarding the numbers of pigs, cows, and fish slaughtered .. well, everyone I know consumes the carcasses of those animals.
