Amir Sayadi Shirazi, a veterinary expert, while pointing to global warming as one environmental cause of endangering the Caspian seal, said, “another threat to the Caspian seal is human’s hunting. The seals’ safe place to give birth has been destroyed in Russia and Turkmenistan. Seal meat is used in fox breeding farms in Russia and some Turkmen people used to believe that the fat under the seal’s skin was good for treating arthritis, which of course has no ground in fact.”
