What (who) is Hakapik - definition
Hakapik
O hakapik é uma ferramenta criada na Noruega, usada para caçar focas. É dotado de um martelo, utilizado para esmagar o crânio e ossos, e uma foice, para retirar a pele das focas.
Examples of use of Hakapik
1. But she is not yet dead, so the sealer hits her in the face another four times before slamming a hooked "hakapik" club into her stomach and dragging her across the ice towards the ship.
2. The methods used, cudgeling with a ‘hakapik‘ or shooting, have too often not killed the seal outright, and I am not satisfied with Canadian assertions that seals are not still being skinned alive." The European Parliament last year called on the EU to impose a fur import ban.
3. Before I was allowed to enter Canada, I had to sign a special visa form which stated that I would not "touch or pick up" a seal, because that would make it stressed. (I wonder what smashing its skull with a ‘hakapik‘ a club with a useful spike on the end – would make it?) I also had to agree that I would not try to rescue an injured seal. (Last year, on a visit to Newfoundland to protest against the cull, Sir Paul McCartney had to return home before the killing started because he couldn‘t trust himself not to intervene.) I even had to agree to keep 20 metres away from the fishermen.
