Question: are harp seals still hunted?
Answer: A harp seal pup clings to the ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Canada allowed 400,000 harp seals—just days older than this one—to be hunted commercially in 2016, but with demand for seal products declining, only 66,000 were taken. ... Harp seals aren't endangered, but melting ice because of climate change is killing pups.
