You are going to have to stuff your Southern European attitudes back in your pocket. These guys live on a coastline that fronts the Arctic Ocean ~ might even call them "aborigines". They know very well what seals are for ~ eating!
Then run it like an industry, not a tourist draw. Not much sport in seal clubbing. I don't see the thrill for the African safari crowd.
BTW, did you know that meat doesn't initially come wrapped in clear plastic? No! Sometimes it's wrapped in untanned hides and walks around just like your pet dogs and cats.
I'll leave it to the Saami and Eskimos to best judge what to do with seals! People who don't care for how they manage the problem really should move back Souf', far Souf', and suck on sugar cane or something.
