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.

I hope they never try to do me any favors or I'd take a few of their pelts.

If humans were starving I could see killing animals for food, but never simply
for their skins to decorate someone's coat. I don't buy the killing is a
kindness to these animals.It's total BS and only serves to legitimize there
cruelity.
