>>Why is it necessary to kill the seals?<<

Some argue that the seals are eating too many fish, and thus need to be "culled". The other reason for the harvest is to make money selling the fur. There used to be a big fur seal harvest in the U.S. Pribilof Islands off western Alaska, but it's been suppressed by Federal law.

Sealskin afterski boots have always been fashionable in Europe.
