387366 03: A harp seal in the "ragged jacket" stage, lays on an ice floe March 29, 2001 in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Canada. Canada's seal hunt is the largest hunt for marine mammals in the world. Each year roughly two-hundred fifty thousand seals are killed for their pelts. Approximately eight out of ten seals killed are newborn pups between the ages of twelve days and twelve weeks old. Nearly all are shot or clubbed. (Photo by Darren McCollester/Newsmakers)
