The Madelinots want Quebec to rediscover the taste of seal

 

“Hunters from the Magdalen Islands will soon lead a commercial gray seal hunt under “scientific” supervision in an ecological reserve located off the archipelago. For the Madelinots, this project could open the door to the rehabilitation of this practice rooted in their culture, but the victim of repeated attacks by animal rights activists. For experts, there is also an urgent need to regulate the population of this pinniped, which today threatens other species in the ecosystem.”

 

Magdalen Islands hunters hope to perpetuate the gray seal hunt, a very abundant species in the St. Lawrence.
