Way up north where the air is cold
People up there ain't got no gold
Only way to make a livin'
Is clubbin' the baby seals
Thumping something on the head is actually one of the most humane ways to kill an animal. As long as you smack it quickly and hard, it won't feel a thing. Of course, you gotta calm it down before you thump it - adrenaline will make the meat tough.
I learned a lot about rabbits during survival training. Seals are pretty much the same thing.
