STOP Canada's Massive Seal Hunt!
Apr. 19th, 2006 08:46 pmspreading the word. I know people who want to move to Canada. All countries have their faults, don't they?
The Cruel Seal Hunt Has Begun
Canada's annual seal hunt, the largest slaughter of marine mammals on the planet, began at dawn on March 25. Each year, fishermen club and shoot baby seals in the North Atlantic, just to earn a few extra bucks by selling seal skins. Last year, 98.5% of the seals killed were two months of age or younger—and veterinary reports indicate that many seals have been skinned while still conscious and able to feel pain. Our ProtectSeals team already braved frigid waters and harassment by sealers during the Gulf of St. Lawrence phase of the hunt. They continue to meet with resistance while attempting to document the hunt's final phase in the waters off Newfoundland and Labrador, where the government will allow sealers to kill at least 232,000 seals.
Seals killed so far: 308728
Hostile Takeover
Even as hundreds of thousands of seals are dying in Canadian waters, the ProtectSeals team, independent journalists, and other permitted observers are menaced by mobs bent on preventing us from documenting the hunt's cruelty. But the truth will out. Read More
