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.


Provide evidence to support your claim if you can.

Kill

1. To deprive of life, animal or vegetable, in any manner or
by any means; to render inanimate; to put to death; to
slay.

"Of these, 96 seals were shot, 56 seals were shot and then clubbed
or gaffed, 19 seals were clubbed or gaffed, and 8 seals were killed by
unknown means."

Indicates all of the seals observed were killed. They would be dead
they could not have been skinned alive.

Therefore, they would not have been skinned alive.


Your BS-ing.


No, I'm not.
