I'd be a bit leery about landing a heavy machine like that, loaded with people, on ice that should be a bit thicker in terms of safety. |
That means people shouldn't be touching them. |
The hunt is still a few weeks away, but the coast guard said the ice thickness is somewhat thinner this year. |
They (the veterinarians) were quite satisfied that the hunt was very humane and that there was a 98 per cent likelihood that all seals that were skinned were in fact dead before the activity took place. |
