Yeah, they do bring in shooters to kill deer around where I live every year. The sharp-shooters actually station themselves in trees right by people's yards! Although it's gotten so controversial that they're now experimenting with some kinds of birth control devices as an alternative.
I guess it's the scale and the manner of the seal hunting that provoked this boycott. Don't let it bother you. He probably wasn't planning on playing anywhere in Canada to begin with, so he figured he might as well call it a boycott. He did the same with China over their treatment of dogs. Oh yeah, if China was nicer to dogs, Moz would be touring across there right now!
