Who do think is being targeted, if not the sealers?
This is your PETA link:
hundreds of thousands of baby seals are shot or have their skulls
crushed, all for the sake of "fashion." Sealers routinely hook seals
in the eye, cheek, or mouth to avoid damaging the pelt, then drag the
seals across the ice, in many cases without checking to ensure that
they are unconscious.
Baby seals stand no chance against club-wielding trappers, and they
must look on as fellow pups are bludgeoned to death before meeting
the same bloody fate. The anguish that a mother seal feels as she
watches her baby being beaten to death just a few feet away from her
is horrifying and can be heard in her desperate cries and seen in her
attempts to get to her baby.

I respectfully disagree. The campaign does not target fishers and
indigenous people (for related information, see:

http://www.caft.org.uk/factsheets/reasons-for-trapping.html) . The
whole idea of such animal welfare campaigns is to raise the
level of critical thought (or even get the majority to start thinking)
about the facts of the 6 billion plus animals that humans torture and
murder on a yearly basis.
I used to work in a cattle/pork slaughterhouse so I know what tender
mercies went into your meat from the supermarket, notably the veal.
Bill, I don't eat meat. And I oppose factory farming of animals.
