The Norwegian government blames the seals for low fish stocks. Yet, massive over-fishing has caused this problem. Blaming seals and not addressing the over-fishing, will not solve the problem. Independent research has shown that humans are responsible for the lowered fish stocks. Each yeah Norwegian hunters slaughter 35,000 seals, most of which are not even a year old.
Hunters claim that the seals are eating too many fish.
Yet scientists contest that point. The fact is that any lack of fish in the sea comes from over-fishing by massive trawlers. As a result, they get their skulls crushed by club wielding hunters. Activists are demanding that Norway, Canada, and the handful of other sealing countries, get in step with the rest of civilization and ban the seal slaughter.
