Seal tourism brings in more revenue for the African country than the seal hunt. Each year, up to 85,000 seals are killed in Namibia to make just a few dollars from their furs, when they would be worth so much more to the Namibian economy alive," said Claire Bass, WSPA International Oceans Campaign Leader.

In order to offset the loss of the seal product market in Europe, Canada has made a deal with China. I'm not surprised. China as a whole still doesn't have a national conscience about these issues. Although 40 Chinese animal rights groups have protested, they don't really have any political or financial clout to change anything.

PETA has launched a spoof site for the Vancouver Olympic Games over seal hunting. I hate the seal slaughter. Seal hunting is just plain wrong. Warning, they have video of seal clubbing (and it starts automatically when you go to the site). I criticize PETA a lot, but in this case I think they are right on the money.
