Last year more than 300 000 seals were killed. The seal hunters kill seals as young as 1 week old. They are hunted for their fur and then purchased by fashion companies like Gucci, Prada, and Versace to make clothes. The way these seals are hunted is absolutely brutal. The hunters have these clubs that they use to hit the seal in the head. Young seal pups have no defence against the beatings because seal pups can't swim away to safety until they are 5 weeks old. Then after one hard hit on the head the hunters begin to skin the seals, even if they are not dead. Can you even begin to imagine the horrors of being skinned while you are still conscious of what is being done to you? The hunters only care about the fur, then they leave the carcases on the ice to rot.
The Inuits, on the other hand, use all of the animal. They kill the seals quickly and make sure that the seal is dead before they skin the animal. The Inuits have food flown in so there is a much higher cost for food for them. They need to hunt the seals for survival and they do not waste any part of the seal.
