what if, a mother harp seal is searching for her baby, but can’t find him because he was taken away by sealers?

The picture speaks for itself.
how is it possible to even think of hurting this cuddly ball fur?
the unfortunate truth is that this is really happening.
Seal Conservation Society Canadian laws still allow for the commercial slaughter of harp seals, in fact, it’s the largest, most widespread slaughter of marine animals in the world. Despite efforts from non-profit organisations around the world, there seems to be no progress being made towards the ban of the killing of harp seals.
we need to spread the word
"As we passed one large red vessel, we saw sealers jump off the side onto the ice. They ran towards a single live seal pup, hakapiks in hand.
The pup, sensing danger, tried desperately to crawl towards the edge of the water. But the two men bearing down on her were faster. One sealer struck her on the side, then twice again on the head. He grabbed her hind flippers and pulled her back across the ice, stopping to club her twice more. He grabbed her front flipper and turned her over.
But then the second sealer kicked the wounded pup with his boot. Seeing a reaction, he motioned to the first sealer, who clubbed her four more times on the head. Not to be outdone, the second sealer grabbed his hakapik and clubbed the baby seal once more. He flipped her over and began to cut her open -- only to roll her back over so the first sealer could club her three more times. This poor baby seal was clubbed thirteen times in total."

that there...it’s what’s happening hundreds of times over every day...noone agrees with it, so why is it still happening?
