Animal rights in Canada

I just came across an article about hunters killing up to 300,000 seals and seal pups for the likes of fashion. I only came across this article because early on in the Herald Sun (27th March Edition) there was an image of a very adorable looking seal pup. It most definitely bought my love with the look in its eyes, but the caption wasn't something to be happy about. It stated it was most likely to be killed soon. And there I go, back to reality where things aren't always what they seem. The article is titled: How Could They? -- it's horrible, seriously, I don't know how else to underline this horrible reality. It makes you think, what kind of world do we live in?
