Every year, the Canadian government allows hundreds of thousands of harp seals to be slaughtered by fishermen and hunters, so that they can skin these animals and sell their hides to make hats and coats and even baby booties for wealthy Americans.  Not only is this practice incredibly gruesome, but in about half the cases, these animals are actually skinned alive.  Mike Papantonio discusses the ongoing fight to end this yearly slaughter with Gail DiDonato , an activist from upstate New York.
