　　　　CCTV News (Chao Wen Tian Xia):

　　　　This week, the controversial Canadian seal hunting season began. For a long time, this large-scale commercial hunting of seals has been strongly criticized for its cruel hunting methods and bloody scenes.

　　　　On the 25th, two animal protection organizations announced the seal hunting scenes filmed this week.

　　　　What you are seeing now are the pictures of seal hunting taken in Magdalen and St Lawrence Bay on the 24th and 25th. According to two animal protection organizations that filmed the picture, more than 17,200 seals were brutally hunted in just two days.

　　　　It is understood that in order not to damage the fur of seals, hunters often do not use guns when hunting seals, but slam seals with sticks and peel them. This killing method is accused by animal protection organizations of being too cruel and bloody. According to statistics, more than 40% of the seals killed last year were skinned before they died.

　　　　Canada is the country that kills the largest number of seals commercially every year in the world. For a long time, the Canadian government has allowed limited commercial killing of seals every year on the grounds that the excessive number of seals has affected the local cod production, and exported products such as seal skin and seal oil. The income obtained is the main source of income for residents in remote areas on the east coast of Canada. This year, the Canadian government announced a limit of 280,000 seals, equivalent to one-third of the total number of seals killed in the world every year.
