t's unclear exactly what the EU's standard for humane killing would be, but seal products from countries that "practice hunting methods that involve unnecessary pain," also referred to as "cruel hunting," will not be allowed into the 27-nation bloc,...

cbc.ca is the same propaganda as Canadian government's statements
they wrote that at demo in Brussel were 250 people - the true is that there were more than 1000.
"A report last year from the European Food Safety Authority mentioned several possible types of unnecessary suffering in the seal hunt, including skinning animals while they are conscious and trapping seals under water to kill them by drowning."
Report EFSA gives evidence that inhumane killing in Canada includes using hakapik, club and shot gun.
"practise hunting methods that involve unnecessary pain," and also distress and suffering
and so on (sorry but I'm fed up with it)

"How many more petitions and signatures do you need to stop these barbaric actions???? I always regarded CANADA as a good country to live in and the Canadians as the nicest people I ever met all over the world. I was so amazed and unbelieving to hear about your country's atrocity -This cruelty is unfit and unbecoming to the CANADA I believed it to be."
