Be that as it may,
it is still done in an unprofessional, needlessly bloodthirsty and sensationalizing manner, and surely only a fraction of these animals get butchered and eaten (Not the ones that get slammed into the pavement many times, me thinks).
I don’t know if we’d be far off if - instead - we lauded the cultural and ecological virtues of seal clubbing.
Or, and that was the intent of my original taunt, if we excused random locals getting together at night to bow hunt stray cats, with the promise that they were all threats to local ecology, and that some of them will get butchered and eaten (and went so far as to call this ‘ethical hunting’.) (and maybe gave a pat on the back and a novelty cheque to the jovial chap who drags the most carcasses to City Hall the next morning.)
