And in my opinion, no one should. I would argue that for the most part, the calfs arnt in discomfort. And as veal tastes good (and seal fur keeps warm) I don't see as a whole a real problem. Sure, we would all love to see the ideal calf frollicking acorss green meadows... But cmon. Reality has to set in at some point. In the end, mother nature is more of a bitch than we are.
Where else do you see the young (infantile even, not nearly old enough to survive on their own, as proven by the rest of this sentence) eaten by predetors? Just because we use their pelts doesnt mean its not fair. Man got to the top of the food chain by using their smarts... AKA Fur is warm!! Sure, now its style, and we have other choices, but in the end does that really change anything?
Not in my mind anyway. I would love to make (thats right, i do my own leather work) a coyote skin coat... Is that better or worse than a seal skin coat? I would love to take the skin from a deer that I shot (primarily for hunting challenge reasons, and secondly for meat) and make something out of it. Does that make me evil?
If so, why? And since its more acceptable than apparently more acceptable than seal fun clothing, why? Because a seal is cuter? Please.....
