The native people ( how to phrase that in a politically correct manner ... Eskimos? Indians? 
) do use the meat. They eat it themselves, and feed it to their sled dogs.
I doubt commercial seal hunting is ever going to go away ... hunting is never going to go away, period. It would be better, though, if perhaps these commercial hunters were required by law to deliver the meat to the people who will actually use it.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
