What's sealing as a sport?

Question

in water sports

Answer 1

Sealing is the personal or commercial hunting of seals. Seals were severely diminished in numbers once commercial sealing became a major industry as they've been long prized for their hide and as a food source by indigenous societies. They are still hunted today, though regulations are comparatively strict, and the images from seal hunts have become famous symbols for conservation and animal cruelty activists.

Depending on your perspective it is either a recreational sport or murder.
