While I'm not a proponent of a seal hunt in BC, I am also not a supporter of the aquarium playing god and rescuing seal pups that are not going to survive. That's the way nature works, these animals are not endangered and shouldn't be interfered with. They "save" about 200 seals per year. Of course they get publicity and sell tickets based naming a premature pup, but I think it is misguided. I doubt they will stop this practice, but communicating to them via facebook or other means that there is some disagreement with the practice probably wont hurt. https://globalnews.ca/news/4230392/...ancouver-aquariums-first-seal-rescue-of-2018/
