Seal hunting is an important source of income and food in small coastal communities where other opportunities are limited.
There I put the relevant parts in bold, I see pelts, blubber, MEAT, sufficiently addressed?

Ouch, a few mistakes in there.
1) Hunting has nothing to do with overpopulation. As a matter of fact, only 30 years ago the seal hunt nearly killed off the harp seal.
2) There is virtually no market whatsoever for seal meat. Most of the meat is left to rot.

You seem to be out of your element here and as such you're really grasping at straws. Or strawmen, actually. "Psycho" doesn't mean anything. One of the warning signs of antisocial personality disorder is cruelty to animals, like skinning them alive instead of killing them first. Look up zoosadism for more information.
