False Comment #1 "We don't kill baby seals anymore" = Myth - Canada DFO seal hunt info.

A common lie attempted by Canadian Seal clubbers is to try to make the public ( you ) believe that they don't kill "baby" seals anymore. This is False. 97% of what they kill are babies.

There is a Law, called the "whitecoat" law, which merely says you're not "supposed" to kill seals before they moult from white fur to grey fur at 14 days. First of all, this doesn't mean it doesn't happen. There's laws against speeding too, but it still occurs. Next, A seal's lifespan is 30 or 40 years. About half a humans. And a seal does not become reproductively mature until 6 or 7 years. This also corresponds to about half that of humans. Humans mature at about 12 to 14 years. A seal becomes an adult at around 6 to 7 years of age. However seal clubbers kill seals right after their fur changes from white to grey, which happens at around 13 days! This corresponds to an infant! They try to use the color of their fur to say that a seal somehow instantly becomes an "adult" overnight between day 12 and 13! This is false. In truth, 97% of the seals killed are between 12 days and 12 weeks old. These are biologically all baby seals. They have lied to you.

Also, it was Animal helpers that were able to pass that whitecoat law in the first place, that help spare the youngest white neonatal ones. Sealers act as if they take credit for the law, and boast about it. But if it weren't for activists, these men would still be killing the whitecoat babies as well.

Pro SealHunt supporters will attempt to dupe you by trying things such as asserting that if an animal is "weaned" from its mother, for example when it no longer needs mother's pregnancy milk, or if an animals behavior is such that the mother allows its offspring to be on its own independently, that it somehow means that the animal is internally an Adult. This is false. Behavior does NOT constitute biological grow
