Surprisingly, the Canadian government allows people to kills these animals to continue hunting them. For people are saying that they can get money from the seal's fur and oil. The animal rights group are stating that this is cruel and a ban on importing the products into Europe is looking more likely. Some of the animals get killed by shots while the others could get killed by large clubs. The Canadian authority says that the animals who are killed are killed quickly and does not feel any pain.
