Tell Canada to End Its Shameful Seal Slaughter

Tell Canada to End Its Shameful Seal Slaughter

For thousands of years, harp seals have migrated from Greenland down
the coast of Canada, stopping each spring to give birth on the ice
floes. Every year, a band of fishers descends on the ice to beat
hundreds of thousands of seals to death and sell the animals' pelts on
the international fur market. Sealers routinely hook baby seals in the
eye, cheek, or mouth and drag them across the ice, often while the
animals are still conscious. Many of the seals killed in the massacre
are only a few weeks old.

Baby seals stand no chance against club-wielding seal hunters—pups must
look on as fellow seals are bludgeoned to death only to then meet the
same bloody fate. The commercial seal slaughter is an off-season profit
venture for the fishing industry, and it accounts for less than 1
percent of Newfoundland's economy. The seal slaughter is not a
subsistence activity for native peoples—Inuit sealing accounts for only
about 3 percent of the annual slaughter.

The price of seal fur is plummeting as international outrage against
the seal slaughter rises. The U.S. and the European Union have banned
seal products, and world leaders such as President Barack Obama and His
Holiness The Dalai Lama have denounced the massacre.

The annual seal slaughter will continue unless people like you speak
out and take action to stop it, so please add your voice to the global
outcry against Canada's shameful seal massacre. Please write to
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper
