Oh I have no doubt that they harvested the penises for the Chinese, that was not what I took issue with.
She said they just took them but threw the seal away to drown, and that is total BS. The Canadians who harvest the pelts do it for a reason, and that is for the cash. They were taken, killed and then processed for their pelts which brought almost $90 each at that time, she made it out to be they did it for their penis and then through the rest away, and that did NOT happen.
Yeah I am with you on that one. I would think it would be stupid to kill a seal for one part when the pelts are worth money. Although I am not familiar with seals. I know they are hunted for their pelts though so you are 100% correct in what you say.
If you think that’s bad, I just found out about other pelts that Canadians harvest for cash:
