Every year, the Canadian government organizes a season where licensed professionals can ethically harvest seals as per the allowable quota. Seals are an abundant species in Canada. Its rapidly growing population disturbs the marine biodiversity of the country’s oceans until its fish population is at an all-time low.

Despite various misgivings from animal activists, the “Canadian Seal Harvest” is a government-sanctioned activity closely monitored by relevant authorities and backed by wildlife organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Canada. Canada is the world’s largest producer of seal products, and their regulations are also lauded as the industry’s best.
