Seal clubbing at Namibian tourist beach



In order to get supply of seal fur, hundreds of baby seals are brutally murdered in herds every day, before tourists arrive on this Namibian beach. After looking to this video footage, I feel like how difficult it is to work effectively for preventing animal cruelty. How come such businesses that depend heavily on animal cruelty continue to thrive ! I think the root cause is lack of adequate sensitivity among us. Universal love and mercy are the fundamental principles to maintain ecological equilibrium and well-being of all living entities on this world. We, the Humans have such an intense exploitative tendencies that most people in this world are unable to apply conscience about such issues. It is not one issue for sure. Our exploitative tendencies and this "urban consumerism" for luxurious life have given rise to wide range of problems, such as climate change, extinction of many animal species, uncontrollable population growth and food and water scarcity, forest eutrophication, issues of human rights, menace of nuclear weapons, environmental pollution - etc. One brief and bold recent article which I read recently, explains the underlying trouble and its handy solution.
