It is by name, not by definition, that the "annual seal slaughter" is assumed 
to be sustainable, which it is not. It is a pointless, superficial, frivolous, 
barbaric practice which actually has nothing to do with fish, and everything 
to do with the lucrative fur trades of Europe and other developed nations. The 
fact is that the lack of cod is due to massive, widespread over fishing over 
extended periods of time, and that cod makes up less than 1% of seals' diets. 
The seals which are actually killed (brutally, and in most cases, are not even 
killed and are skinned alive and fully conscious) are not even old enough to 
eat fish yet, and can only drink their mothers' milk, though they are hardly 
given any time to do even this. An actually sustainable possible solution is 
to encourage the growth of fish populations. It is despicable that the 
government condones such a brutal practice, refusing to face the truth: that 
it was their own recklessness which led to the fish extinctions in teh first 
place. If you are pro fish, you should encourage the growth of undisturbed 
fish populations, not the pointless, selfish, cruel seal slaughter. 
Sustainability must work with natural systems, not artificial, human-induced 
extinctions and salughter.____________________________________________________________________________
