Sealing is an off-season activity conducted by fishermen from Canada’s East Coast. They make, on average, a small fraction of their annual incomes from sealing—and the rest from commercial fisheries. Even in Newfoundland, where 90% of sealers live, the government estimates there are only about 4,000 fishermen who actively participate in the seal hunt each year.
