An Illustrated Guide to the Tools used to Kill Seals in Canada’s
Commercial Seal Hunt This document describes the various tools
used for killing seals in Canada's commercial seal hunt. The
MMR, and the information in this document, does not apply to the
hunting of seals in Arctic regions of Canada, which is conducted
primarily by Inuit. The seal hunt that takes place in Canada's
Arctic includes different species of seals. Other tools are used
to kill these seals, such as nets and harpoons. These tools are
not covered here.
