Why are seals getting killed for the fur?

Answer 1

The easy answer is that people sell seal fur to make money. If you're asking what uses there are for seal fur, seal fur is a great insulator of warmth and is used in the manufacture of many types of apparel such as coats, boots, hats, gloves, etc. If you're asking why someone would kill a seal for its fur, you're getting into an area fraught with emotion that requires a careful analysis of various factors such as the populations of the different species versus the economic needs of human populations such as the Greenlanders who have depended on seals for food and clothing for centuries. There is no easy answer, only through careful, unemotional analysis can a reasonable solution to this problem be achieved.

Answer 2

All different kinds of seals are hunted for their fur. Seal fur has traditionally been used by many Native American tribes since the beginnings of their civilizations. Today many seals are hunted for traditional wear. But seals also offer some of the warmest fur in the world and the leather is waterproof, so it is used to make many different kinds of boots and shoes. The term 'mukluk' which is a kind of shoe, actually literally translates into 'seal' in Yup'ik Eskimo. Mukluks traditionally are seal skin boots, an item that is still used in many arctic climates today.
