Please Help Stop The Canadian Seal Slaughter!

I remember when I was about 7 years old and I saw my first documentary on the horrific Canadian Seal Hunts.  I cried and cried and just didn’t understand it.  And now 40 years later - I still am sickened that this unnecessary, brutal practice is still happening today.

Help Me Please!

I sent emails to the Senators from my home state and asked them to co-sponsor the seal hunt resolution to speak out and help end the cruel seal hunt.   Let’s make 2009 the LAST year for this barbaric hunt!  

The Canadian seal hunt is the largest slaughter of marine mammals in the world.

The Canadian government is allowing fishermen to kill 280,000 harp seals in the 2009 hunt, an increase of 5,000 from 2008. Fishermen will beat and shoot to death pups—many of them little more than 12 days old—for their fur. Despite new regulations that the Canadian government claims will make the hunt “humane,” sealers have already been witnessed skinning pups while alive and conscious.

The senate’s Canadian seal hunt resolution (S. Res. 84), sponsored by Sens. Carl Levin (D-MI) and Susan Collins (R-ME), urges the Canadian government to end this cruel and senseless slaughter. Please ask your two U.S. senators to co-sponsor S. Res. 84.
