Like Cagney_dog said, the seal hunt has been going on for years. IMO that's no reason not to have any pride in your country. All countries have their faults.

I know this thread isn't about the bear hunting but since it was mentioned I have to say, I thought they stopped hunting the bears a long time ago?? I heard somewhere that the actually hunting of the bears is illegal and has been for quite some time and that the problem bears are being chased off by a team of Karelian Bear Dogs? Not sure where I heard that, I could be wrong...
