In an effort to minimize inhumane treatment, the Canadian government mandates that seals can only be killed using a high-powered rifle or shotgun, a club or a hunting tool called a hakapik.

Seems it isn't, but it might have been for a while though. Good to see it isn't anymore though :P

Call it whatever you want, but it's a woden device with a spike at the end. It's still a bat. So if I take a bat and carve a design in it I can rename it too?

Sorry, I'm not english or american myself so I'm not really sure what you lay in the word bat, I've always looked on it like the thing that the police has and what's used by playing baseball. You spesificly said baseball bat earlier in the thread, so that threw me of a bit. But I appologize for not knowing the exact meaning of the word.

 

Now, wheter it's a bat or not doesn't really matter, seing as it is the most humane way of doing it. And no, that I say it is doesn't make it so, but the fact that scientist and the experts on the matter say so does make it pretty airtight. The fact that you scoff at this is a problem to me though, because if you had it your way we would end up killing them in a more pretty, but more hurtfull way. I don't think you want that to happen, so it might be an idea to try and look at this once again and try to not get blinded by the fact that it looks pretty brutal (because it does, and I understand why that can convince you that this isn't right) and rather try to understand why this is the best way of doing it.
