2008 Canadian commercial seal hunt : ウィキペディア英語版 | 2008 Canadian commercial seal hunt
Canada's 2008 annual commercial seal hunt in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and around Newfoundland, Quebec and Nova Scotia began on March 28. The hunting season lasts from mid-November to mid-May, but the hunt mainly occurs in March and April. Canada's seal hunt is the world's largest hunt for marine mammals.〔 Some animal rights groups have been given observer permits and will be monitoring the hunt. They say it is cruel and that it ravages the seal population. Sealers say it is sustainable, humane, and well-managed.〔(Canada's seal hunt begins amid wary eyes, improved population ), Rocky Mountain News, March 29, 2008〕 The pelts and oil are sold to buyers in Norway, Russia, and China.〔Gillies, Rob. ("Canada's Contentious Seal Hunt Begins" ), ''Associated Press'', March 28, 2008.〕 The total allowable catch for 2008 is set by the Canadian government to 275,000 harp seals, (the quota includes 2,000 seals for personal seal hunting, and 4,950 seals for the Aboriginal seal hunt,)〔(Minister Hearn announces 2008 management measures for Atlantic seal hunt ), NovaNewsnow.com, March 13, 2008〕 8,200 hooded seals and 12,000 grey seals.〔〔(Canada's 2008 Commercial Seal Hunt Starts Today - 275,000 Harp Seal Pups Are Targeted for Slaughter ), Fox Business〕〔(Frequently Asked Questions About Canada's Seal Hunt ), Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

A new rule in the Marine Mammal Regulations for 2008, require hunters to slit the seal's main arteries under its flippers, after clubbing or shooting a seal.〔(Annual seal hunt begins ), The Herald Sun, March 29, 2008〕 The European Union recommended to add this rule, in a report released in December 2007. This is to prevent the seal from being skinned alive and having to withstand that pain.
