Arctic Hunt As with many or all hunting initiatives in Canada the seal hunt is controlled and subsidized by the government. In an effort to control the seal population and prevent to ecosystem from being thrown off the government sees that they need to allow the hunt. To ensure that the hunt is performed to the correct size, the government subsidizes the hunt so things are made easier, and more plausable for "sealers" and commercial companies to access the frozen waters and beaches in proper numbers. Overpopulation of any particular animal can upset the balance of the ecosystem and even effect the economy. This is why the government supports the agenda of the annual hunt. If the seal population becomes to great, they will eat all the fish and kill the fishing industry. Furthermore with the fish gone, the seals then begin to starve and die off. This is an issue once more for the government because then they are required to reintroduce species of fish to the area, which is both expensive and time consuming. Thus the economy suffers again.
