Where is the sport in shooting a 2 week old seal pup on an ice floe, bashing in its skull, and peeling off the pelt to sell to Jonny Versace for a fashionable vest?

It has been said repeatedly in this thread that it is illegal to take pups. If they ARE taken it would a criminal act and anyone involved with it would, I should think, be an accessory to the crime. It might be more to the point to have the wearer, the merchant, the maker, the pelt seller, and the poacher all up on charges, preferably before a really harsh judge, no-nonsense, judge.

I don't know about Canadian laws in this respect, but in most States of the US such a conviction would cost you big. Jail time, large fine, community service, loss of whatever was associated with the poaching....
