I myself do not have a problem with the concept of people hunting whales (or indeed any animal) for food. Nb excluding endangered species and out of season.
However I do support the ban on whaling because the animals cannot be killed in a humane manner.
Likewise similar barbarities such as cutting the fins off sharks should be banned.

Which leads us to seal clubbing, like everyone else im horrified by the notion that seal cubs were literaly beaten to death. The fact they are clubbed and are young creates a highly emotive issue.

However I have seen the video footage of this taking place and its not beating as such it is generally one instantly incapacitating blow.
So the question is (assuming that it is necassery to cull the seals) what would be the most humane method available and is it the case that barbaric as it seems from the description seal clubbing is it in fact more humane than say shooting.

Note I am not condoning seal clubing it is a point for debate, I personnally couldnt do it.
