I have few issues about the methods used. I DO have issues about the law breakers. Its the law breakers that are making the seals suffer. If groups would have helped to inforce the laws there wouldn't be any worry about an imbalancement. We killed ALL the preditors, so now we need to be the preditor.

Just remember, bullets are made out of lead. Bullets + seals will = a lot of lead in 1 area that can poison the adult seals & fish in the ocean. Also a bunch of people shooting guns in an area isn't safe for anyone.

Yes a club might seem barbaric, but when the user is using it properly there is no pain felt or its very quick. 1 hit should render the seal braindead & or dead. Shoot the seal & you'll prob miss the tiny brain & the seal will feel ALL the pain. Remember the seals are used for meat & fur. So shoot the seal in the body where it would prob die faster would ruin the fur & meat, which would make the kill a waste.

JMO on the matter.
We screwed up the balance, now we need to manage it.
