Not sure what you have been reading, but none of these methods of killing are used in the sealing industry. 

Well, that was what this thread originally was about. A lot of seals are clubbed, just look it up.

(I'm not saying that the local population uses these methods when hunting.)

A lot of seals are not clubbed no. Some are, just like some dogs get killed by their owners, just like some cats gets mistreated by their owners. In the end there are always going to be cruel humans going around doing stuff that they shouldn't do, but seals are not victims of this more than any other animals. In fact much less so, because they are so inaccessible. Locals and the industry are following laws and try to go by with their job and lifestyle as animal friendly as possible. Throwing around false, generalizing and horrible accusations should be unecessary.
