CRUELTY IN SEAL HUNTING.
Thceo Harmless and Inoffensive Ani
mals Have Been Killed In Great
Numbers.
As the season approaches when
fur clothing in great variety is de
manded by those who would appear
to be dressed fashionably, one cannot
help being painfully reminded of the
cruelty practiced' in the hunting and
killing of animals.
Such methods of obtaining the
pelts of fur-bearing animals as have
been used for years make a record of
greater horrors and cruelties than
are known In the history of savage
races. If men and women, whether
possessed of humanitarian instincts
or not, were to see and realize what
atrociously Inhumane acts are com
mitted In the taking of animals and
stripping them of their skins, often
while the animals are still alive, It is
safe to Bay that they would renounce
fur as an artlclo of dress, at least,
so long as It is obtained under such
cruel conditions.
How many wearers of fur stop to
consider that the softest and most
delicate sealskins or the Llama, As
trakhan, and Persian lamb which
they prize so highly and for which
they are willing to pay almost any
price, are the skins of unborn ani
mals taken by a process indescrib
ably cruel?
The fur seal has been so wantonly
slaughtered that its extinction is
threatened. According to Dr. David
Starr Jordan there were, in 1885,
2,000,000 seals on our Islands. That
number has now been reduced to
50,000. These harmless and Inof
fensive animals have been killed off
so rapidly that It Is doubtful if any
thing short of laws giving them ab
solute protection throughout the year
and making it a crime to wear their
fur will save the few that now re
gain. The story of the egret and the
cruelty of the plume hunter, so often
told in Our Dumb Animals, Is a ter
rible indictment against the wearers
of tho "white badge of cruelty," but
the destruction of the ur seal
through the brutality of the merci
less seal hunter is even a greater
and more shameful one.
The season for hunting the, seal
occurs twice a year, In. spring and
autumn. The fur Is In good condi
tion -at 8uch times, and continues so'
only for about one month. Hence
the great haste to make a sufficient
killing to supply the demands of
fashion. On land and sea this butch
ery takes place; in the rookeries the
killing is done with clubs and pikes,
and on sea by shooting and spear
ing, in either case, without discrimi
nation between old or young, male
or female.
The testimony of Dr. Jordan, who
was recently appointed by the United
States government to investigate the
condition of fur seals, is astound
ing. "If the destruction of these ani
mals shall continue," he says, "their
complete extermination within a few
years appears to be certain. The
cruelty of this murderous process is
appalling. Since pelagic sealing be
gan more than 600,000 fur seals have
been taken in the North Pacific and
Behrlng Sea. This means the death
of not less than 400,000 breeding
females, the starvation of 300,000
pups, and the destruction of 400,000
pups still unborn. Nor do these
dreadful figures tell the whole story.
In this calculation, account is taken
only of those of which the skins
havo been brought to America. No
record of the animals lost after being
shot or speared is available, though
the number Is known to be very
great."
And there Is still more to be add
ed to this heart-sickening tale of
cruelty. Land sealing is carried on
with even greater brutality. In an
article contributed by Captain Borch
grevlnk to the Century Magazine, he
says: "As a rule, the slaughter and
skinning of the seals were most bar
barous, bloody, and hideous unnec
essarily so. Specially cruel Is the
task when seal pikes are used. Only
rarely does a seal die from one or
two blows of the pike, and if It Is
not dead It Is generally considered
all the better," for It Is eagler to
skin a seal while It is half alive. In
tho utmost agony the wretched beast
draws Its muscles away from the
sharp steel, which tears away Its
skin, and thus assists In parting with
Its own coat
From such descriptions as these,
taken from reliable sources, no one
can escape the conviction that in the
methods of seal killing there are
committed the greatest known cruel
ties. Far from the bounds of clvlll
ration and away from humanizing
Influences, Inhuman beings may be
found who will do the deeds of mur
derers and fiends.
