Kill

1. To deprive of life, animal or vegetable, in any manner or
by any means; to render inanimate; to put to death; to
slay.

"Of these, 96 seals were shot, 56 seals were shot and then clubbed
or gaffed, 19 seals were clubbed or gaffed, and 8 seals were killed by
unknown means."

Indicates all of the seals observed were killed.  They would be dead
they could not have been skinned alive.
