Now theres a topic that is both a shame to Canadians and in some areas pride. I personally don't advocate the seal hunts, I find it distasteful and a waste of time. It won't stop until there are other viable ways for those people to make a living. The average family earns as much as 35% of their annual income through these seal hunts.
I think if the images of the seals being, well you know how they are harvested, weren't so graphic and ugly, no one would object at all. I have been there for the hunt and I found it unpleasant, to say the least. I also found a meat packing plants kill room unpleasant, it's all how you look at it.
I again say that I do not advocate it in any way, but if you have an open mind and are willing to look beyond your preconceived or media derived notions of what is happening, take a look
here for some information from "Fisheries and Oceans Canada" the regulatory body that polices the seal hunt.
I am not trying to change your mind, just give you some information to base you opinion on something other than the media and PETA.
