Baby Seals Need Your Help!

 

This year, by late March, the Canadian seal killers armed with clubs

and rifles will go again to the nursery floes of the harp and hood

seal, to massacre them in the largest mass slaughter of marine

mammals on this planet!

 

In 2003 alone, 350,000 seals where killed in this brutal way and

this year and in 2005, each year they will kill 350,000 more to make

a total of over a MILLION seals killed within 3 years.

 

Please sign this petition and send it to everyone who cares for the

animals in the world to stop this extremely cruel slaughter of

innocent seals in Canada.

Seal Pups Slaughtered!

April 9 2004

 

As I write this, thousands of baby harp seals are being slaughtered

on the ice fields off Canada's east coast.

 

IFAW needs your support to stop the killing:

This annual Canadian seal hunt is happening right now, with the dawn

of spring and newborn seal pups taking their first breath. In fact,

over 95% of the seals killed during this hunt are just days or weeks

old. If you were to witness this personally, your heart would break.

 

Help now! Donate here: www.care2.com/go/z/12397

 

Hundreds of acts of animal abuse and violations of Canada's criminal

code have been documented by the International Fund for Animal

Welfare (IFAW) during this hunt: baby seals impaled on hooks ...

seals skinned alive or wounded and left to die under the ice.

 

And now these seals need your help more than ever before.

Last year, the Fisheries minister announced he would allow 975,000

seals to be killed over the next three years. The Department of

Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), however, spends only 1.5% of their

patrol hours monitoring sealers to prevent criminal acts and kill

limit violations during this hunt.

 

Your support helps put IFAW seal rescue teams on the ice to expose

this outrage.

 

Without the presence of these teams, most of these abuses and crimes

would go undocumented. IFAW led the campaign to "Save the Seals" in

the 1970's. Now we need your help to stop this latest attack on

defenseless seal pups.

 

There's still time to act before this year's hunting season is over -

- please contribute whatever you can to help stop this savage

attack. www.care2.com/go/z/12397

 

For the seal pups,

 

Fred O'Regan

President and CEO

PS. Your help is needed today, please consider supporting IFAW's

campaign to protect these defenseless seal pups:

Please forward this message to friends and family and urge them to

help now! Every minute ... every effort... every donation counts!
