I think if it is an active culling based on population and feeding availability by the numbers, lowering disease and starvation for the others, then they are doing the seals a service. Much like annual deer hunting, alligator culls, moose hunting etc.

Hope they are rescued soon and no one is seriously injured.
Hmmmmmmm.....so who culled these animals before humans came along ???
I'll go with Lizbud on this one, because I believe that the whole process is based on obtaining skins for foreign consumer use.....and that has got to be worth lot's of bucks to the country involved.
I hope to, that no-one is hurt....but if some are....they only have themselves to blame.
