The objection arises because of the cruelty, which is an obvious serious breaching of humane conduct. Humanity everywhere is objecting very strongly, and your refusal to listen harms you too. > Here's a hint. It's part of North America, not Europe.

'In 2001 UK tourists spent the equivalent of 1.026 billion Canadian dollars - this is a massive source of income to Canada. Whereas the seal hunt, by contrast, is a volatile industry and although accurate figures are hard to come by it is estimated to be worth approximately only Can $6 million. The hunt is actually heavily subsidised by the Canadian Government and when the subsidies are taken into account it is worth closer to just Can $3 million. ' http://www.boycott-canada.com/ - Boycott is a predictable enough reaction. Observe http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/236982184 , and see the impact this is having on your country. People love seals- they are regarded as inquisitive, friendly and intelligent creatures. I'm sure you could earn a little extra cash welcoming eco-friendly tourism in the area. - Just think- you are actually slaughtering one of your area's best tourist $$$s earner assets!
