12. Seal cruelty
Canadian hunters have been killing more then
thousands of BABY seals and this happens
every year. worst of all the dead bodies are left
in the ice to rot because there is no use for it.
they didn't even follow Canada's animal welfare
standards. one weapon that is used is a club
with a metal hook called a " hakapiks". sadly
the babies cannot escape or fight back so the
hunters get an advantage. the seals killed are
younger then 3 months. seal products are
banned in the U.S since 1972. seals are killed
for their fur.

13. Alligator wrestling
Alligators get disturbed in the
positions that they are forced in.
Sometimes the alligators lose
consciousness. They drag the
alligator by its tail and hit it with
sticks. The wrestler sits on top of
the alligator which cuts off
circulation. Freestyle alligator
wrestling competion is when they
fight the alligator in a deep water
pit.
