So, its the same seal but its coat has turned from white to grey, that's all. They claim they kill the pups anywhere from 25 days old to 3months old.

They now look like this when they club them.

That's what I thought, but this confused me: "Last year, 98.5% of the seals killed were two months of age or younger." - I didn't think they lost their white coats under 2 months of age. It's really stupid just to ban the white coats if they still kill tons that are under two months of age. How retarded and inadequate.
