Cull The Trade Not The Seals

We are now ten days
and counting into the annual baby seal cull
in Canada, where we are told
they are killed for their fur.
It is a trade which is now at best
a minor sideline for the fisherman
who do the inhumane killing.
It is more a tradition/hobby
than an economic activity.
Also fur trading companies are now rare,
and shrinking in number.
Here are some facts about where the skins go.
As a list of who makes money out of something
that is provably vain and pointless it is a start
for culling a pointless economic activity.
