Fishermen Filmed Themselves Beating a Baby Seal and Posted it on Facebook
This article will have no visuals, because the images are too disturbing to show.
A viral video posted to Facebook earlier this week shows three fisherman in Yarmouth County, Canada, who have a very young white seal pup in their boat — likely only a few days old.
Very young seal pups have white coats, and when they do, it is illegal to kill them. But these fishermen were apparently unfazed by this regulation.
"They're sort of taunting it, teasing it, poking it in the face with a fishing buoy," Sheryl Fink, director of Canadian wildlife campaigns for the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), told The Dodo. "You can see one man kicking it in the head with his rubber boot and just sort of tormenting this young, terrified animal." You can also hear laughter.
The pup in the video is obviously distressed and trying to escape, Fink observed. "It's not too graphic but it is disturbing," Fink said. "It's complete disrespect for a very terrified young animal."
Even though the killing doesn't happen on camera, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) reports that the seal pup died. In the video, you can hear one man say, "OK, let's kill it."

*I want to disappear these men. Do they have Wives? Daughters? Children?
Souls? Humanity? Fuck no!, I say.
