It's about the same as offing a cow, chicken, pig, moose, deer, ducks, rabbits,fish did I miss a species?. The baby seals look cute in their white coat and against the white ice backdrop the blood an guts, if they were doing this industry in a building there would not be as much of a protest.
Personally I don't give a shit about whether it's P C or not. I just like drinking beer & killing shit.
