Death is sad. The end of our life on earth but...
these four did choose of their own free will to participate in the seal hunt by boat. They are aware of the consequences if things go wrong. The seals.... they participate but not of their free will, they have no choice. They have no voice. They are brutally killed for their fur when it's unnecessary in this day and age. Their deaths mean no survival to anyone. They are killed for greed of money.
