As the ice breaks and the sealers make their way forward, one baby seal senses danger and crawls to the edge of the ice, where a bullet slams into him. While he thrashes about, blood pouring out, a sealer jumps onto the ice and clubs and stabs the seal pup with a metal spike, dragging him to the boat. In just minutes, this four-week-old seal pup is cut open and skinned, his tiny carcass tossed over the side. All in the name of fashion.That story is an eye-witness account from a HSUS (Humane Society of the United States) official who was taking in a horrific areal view of this year’s seal- slaughter.
