A natural process isn't cruelty. It's nature. When humans kill for sport, it's cruelty.

If you want to kill seals or anything else for warmth or food (read: SURVIVAL OF YOU), by all means. If you want to kill them because it's cool and you pay a guy a thousand bucks to do so, that's like legal poaching. I'm not saying the industry should be done away with, as long as it's for a purpose. If it's for playing hunter in the wilderness, then you're an idiot and I want to play "The Most Dangerous Game" with you.
