Why do the holier-than-thou Canadians still club and shoot to death 500,000 defenseless seals each year [I Post]
And lead the world in killing the most whales?

Preliminary figures from Fisheries and Oceans Canada suggest the 2020 commercial seal hunt in the region will be the lowest kill ever recorded by far. To date, only 390 seals have been reported killed in Newfoundland and Labrador, the province that typically makes up a majority of the hunt. Compared to the 32,073 reported killed in the same region last year, and the 82,740 killed in 2017, this is a massive decrease. According to government officials, a “minimal” number of seals were indeed killed in other regions of Canada, but the numbers are so low that they cannot be disclosed under federal privacy laws.

@Synyster its only this year that’s is so low ... because the market dropped out, not because of elightenment. You Canadians hate being called out.

Of course the market dropped. DFO should be all over this, and they're not.
We definitely don't like to be called out, that goes for you Americans as well.

Trolling much today? 500,000?
[quote]According to preliminary figures on the website of Canada's Department for Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), only 388 seals have been reported killed to date in this year's hunt in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, which would usually run from mid-April through late May. In all of 2019, the number of seals killed numbered 32,071. While still a significant number, this was only 8% of the 2019 quota of 400,000. Hence, the 2020 figures to date represent an even greater overall reduction. [/quote]
Not that I (or the vast majority of Canadians) are OK with 388 seals being killed...

@drymer that’s a total misrepresentation of course, but being Canadian you could never accept any responsibility anyways
