_That's_ emotive argument and propaganda, with no basis in reality.

> Seals are part of the food chain.

Not ours.  And besides, this slaughter is for fur, not food.

> Humans eat seals.

If it's truly essential for survival, that's another matter.

> Seals eat fish.

Human's want to eat fish.  Humans trawl, humans take too much.

> Seals carry the worm that kills codfish and others.

If that's true, how do the cod catch it from seals?

No, humans have decided that they are predators, and take
from true predators.

Humans need to eat from our own natural dietary niche-
raw fruits, succulent fruit-like vegetables, roots, shoots,
nuts and seeds.  Then we can leave the rest of the animal
kingdom in peace, as we ourselves would wish to be.
