There is an animal chain that has to be balanced, by having too many seals they overpopulate and jump the chain, their meat is a great source of omega 3 and 6, their pelts are water resistant and in many cases do not cause allergies, so the hunting sounds pretty beneficial.

During food shortages, sloth bears will eat carrion. They also sometimes raid farm crops.…

    Competition between African penguins and commercial fisheries is often suggested as the main cause of the population decrease. African Penguins feed on small fish but their diet consist mainly of anchovy and sardine. The purse-seine fisheries target to catch schooling epipelagic fish that are the main prey of African penguins. During the breeding season, competition is limited.
