A long time ago Norwegians made a heavy duty multipurpose hunting instrument called a hakapik. The hakapik, with a medium length handle, has a hammer on its end and a large curved hook on the other side. The hammer side is used to kill seals; the hook is used to drag the seal's body. Many animal rescue groups decry this barbaric practice which is still done every year in some countries.
