Yahoo New reported that Norway’s seal hunting program may be about to end.
Oslo (AFP) – Norways much-criticised commercial seal hunt could grind to a halt following parliaments decision to scrap a hefty subsidy for the controversial practice.
A majority of lawmakers voted late Thursday to cull a 12-million-kroner (1.3-million-euro, $1.6-million) subsidy for the seal hunt from the 2015 budget.
Governmental support represents up to 80 percent of seal hunters revenue.
