That's not uncommon.
Norwegian seal hunters had to stop clubbing seal cubs because it hit the media and people thought it looked too brutal .. Nevermind that the seals generally died instantly and were knocked out in any case which is more than what you can say for the method clubbing was replaced with which was simply shooting the animals. A bullet can miss vital organs and take a lot longer to kill a seal which could slip down through a hole in the ice with the bullet still in it.
They should bring back the clubs!
To be fair and lend some support, I do believe Skaltezon also mentioned failing machinery. And that sounds to me like it could have grisly results.
