WWF Supports Seal Slaughter in Canada

We understand that many people around the world feel strongly about the suffering of the individual seals killed in the hunt and we share this concern. To inform the ethical debate on the annual seal hunt, WWF promoted the establishment of an independent expert panel of veterinarians to assess the treatment of harp seals during the course of the hunt, including the manner in which seals are hunted. The veterinarians report has been presented to the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and its key recommendations are being acted upon by DFO management and have been favourably received by industry. The panel will continue to be active in promoting humane hunting methods.'

  What WWF didn't address here is that, with regards to that specific study, what was found by the independent veterinary panel was that the 'hunt' is inhumane. Why did WWF leave that out of their comment?
    Also,  WWF is saying that since it was reported to the DFO, that animal welfare groups should just let it go at that. We knew full well then that the DFO wouldn't pay attention to the study and guess what???....they didn't!
