I feel really weird for wanting to defend something like the seal hunt, especially because I am not a huge fan of hunting in general. I am also really interested in the whys of it though. That article mentions that it does not really play that significant of a roll in Newfoundland's economy. I had always assumed that there was a cultural aspect to it as well, like maintaining Inuit traditions.
