I have to admit to not being terrribly well-informed about the seal culling.

We are all shocked by the barbarity of the clubbing but, that part aside, is it any worse than sheep or cattle being slaughtered for food and leather? Just because they look so adorable we are meant to feel antipathy towards the cullers.

It should be more humane than a thwack with a big stick. But hey, British courts are happy to let off yobs who do that to innocent civilians so why should we get too upset about a seal?
