Clubbing is humane
The club, or hakapik, is actually an extremely humane way to kill a seal. Animal rights groups sometimes deride the use of clubs and guns as unnecessarily violent. However, seal hunters are actually compelled to use guns and hakapiks by the Government of Canada precisely because they are the quickest and most humane ways of killing the seals.Clubbing or shooting a seal may sound or look brutal, but perception is not always reality. The hakapik is at least as humane as (if not more humane than) the means used to process beef in a typical slaughterhouse.
