But the lack of cod fish these days has developed a kind of hatred towards the harp seal. Recently Canada has passed a law allowing seals to be caught for food. And this has gradually brought back the consideration of sealing all over again. In response animal rights groups have gone against this decision and plans to interfere in attempts to influence other countries not to consider sealing again. The main controversy is the hunting of the harp seal was stopped in the reasons of being inhumane and endangering the animals existence, but the views of hunting is now begining to switch.
Today there are too many harp seals and less amounts of fish.
As time continues the population of the harp seal continues also. The population levels of these particular seals has also begun to bring more and more problems. It is believed that the cause of these invasions is due to food migration. Seal hunting is a traditional means of living and is the job of many people.
