The hunt will kill about a quarter million seals. Global warming will kill lots more than that.

As a btw, I eat very little meat of any sort. Maybe a pound and a half a month. That's aside from eggs and milk at times. Live mostly on grains. As a kid I trapped muskrat for fur. As an adult I help get people out car wrecks/fires. I no longer hunt or trap, but if it becomes necessary I will. And no, I don't know that there is a non-cruel way to kill things. Death is cruel. But then, so is life.
