Seal population
Sunday, October 18th, 2009
The Harp seal population off the coast of Newfoundland is around 5.4-5.5 million animals.
Even after a hundred years of being commercial hunted , the population is still high. Some people are concerned that, if the seal hunt ends the population will continue to be high and the seals will need to be culled.
Most people would rather have seals be hunted for their pelts oil and meat rather than be killed and sunk to the bottom of the sea.
