Canada seal hunt gets under way

"The hunters returned to the ice floes after the government gave the go-ahead for more than 300,000 seals to be killed this year.
...
The fishermen blame the seals for the devastation of Canada's fish stocks and have pressed for a renewed culling. "

I guess we get to see more news footage of fisherman bashing the skulls of the hundreds of lovable fuzzy pups. They say they got some more humane way to kill them [which probably means some way to avoid all that blood gushing out over the ice] but I'm sure the whale savers have lots of old footage they can use.

And the twits are calling for a boycott, so maybe salmon will be cheaper at the stores [yum!].
