Previous government efforts to boost the sale of seal products have also failed, noted Fink. As an example, she pointed to a 2014 plan which recommended the Fisheries and Oceans department try to revive the market for the sale of seal penises.

here in the states, 'clubbing baby seals' is a basic euphemism for 'evil'

its beyond strange to hear there is not only a market for seal meat, but that it is flat out an accepted industry. i have no horse in this race though, id eat it.. or the horse

I've had horse a couple of times. It's pretty good.

What would you compare it to?
