The IFAW observations showed 1.66% of seals skinned alive.


Of those observed. So who's assuming that all seals are skinned
immediately? You,- when it suits you.


I meant- counting only those *observed* being skinned, which
you used to find the percentage of the total- observed and not.


Pearl, again . . .

The IFAW observed 180 seals being killed. They observed 3 skinned
alive.

3/180 = 1.66%

The seals which were skinned at a later time (remember they were
already observed being killed) are dead. Therefore, they would not
have been skinned alive.
