What are seals used for?
- A.
  
  Skin and fat
- B.
  
  Eyes and whiskers
- C.
  
  Flippers and nose
Correct Answer
A. Skin and fat

Explanation
Seals have a thick layer of blubber, which is made up of skin and fat, that helps to keep them warm in cold water. This layer acts as insulation and provides buoyancy in the water. Additionally, the skin of seals is adapted to protect them from the harsh elements of their environment, such as the cold temperatures and saltwater. Therefore, the correct answer is "skin and fat."

Sealers use rifles to kill seals.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement is true because sealers do use rifles to kill seals. Seal hunting is a controversial practice that involves shooting seals from a distance using rifles. This method is used to efficiently kill seals and obtain their fur, blubber, or other body parts for commercial purposes. However, seal hunting has faced criticism due to concerns about animal welfare and sustainability.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement suggests that seals are always checked to be dead before they are skinned. However, this is not necessarily true. While it is important to ensure ethical practices in the skinning process, there have been instances of seals being skinned alive in some regions due to illegal and inhumane practices. Therefore, the statement is false as there is no guarantee that seals are always checked to be dead before being skinned.

A hakapik is not a blunt object similar to a hammer. It is actually a specialized tool used for killing seals in the commercial seal hunting industry. It is designed with a long handle and a metal hook at the end, which is used to club and puncture the skull of the seal to ensure a quick and humane kill. Therefore, the statement that a hakapik is a blunt object similar to a hammer is false.

What are whales used for.

  Oil and meat

Explanation
Whales are used for their oil and meat. The oil derived from whales, known as whale oil, has historically been used in various industries such as lighting, lubrication, and cosmetics. Whale meat is also consumed in some countries, although its consumption has significantly declined in recent years due to conservation efforts and the recognition of whales as endangered species. Therefore, the use of whales for oil and meat has been a significant factor driving the hunting and exploitation of these marine mammals.

- A.
  
  Commercial Whaling
- B.
  
  Scientific reasons
Correct Answer
B. Scientific reasons

Explanation
Japan argues that its whaling activities are conducted for scientific reasons. They claim that the purpose of their whaling program is to collect data and conduct research on whale populations, their behavior, and their impact on the marine ecosystem. Japan believes that this research is necessary for the management and conservation of whale species. Critics, however, argue that Japan's scientific whaling is a cover for commercial whaling, as the meat from the captured whales often ends up on the market for consumption.

Shark finning happens in Europe, Mainland China and Malaysia.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Shark finning is a practice where the fins of sharks are removed, often while they are still alive, and the rest of the body is discarded. This practice is driven by the demand for shark fin soup, a delicacy in some Asian countries. While shark finning is a global issue, it is indeed true that it happens in Europe, Mainland China, and Malaysia. These regions have been identified as key areas where shark finning occurs, contributing to the decline of shark populations worldwide.
