Previous government efforts to boost the sale of seal products have also failed, noted Fink. As an example, she pointed to a 2014 plan which recommended the Fisheries and Oceans department try to revive the market for the sale of seal penises.

Aren't seals endangered? Forgive me if I am wrong but there is no ethical way to hunt an endangered population. Unless they are targeting populous seal populations, which of those there are not many.

Wikipedia has them listed as Least Concerned. So, not in a way that would have conservatory issues associated due to population.

Like I said there is a lot of disinformation surrounding the topic.
