The article below gives additional contact info.] http://www.people.co.uk/shtml/FEATURES/P43S1.shtml PETS AND THEIR PEOPLE: THOUSANDS OF SEALS DIE IN MASS CULL A STAGGERING 76,000 baby seals are to be slaughtered for their skins in a massive new cull in Russia, the Sunday People can reveal. The appalling hunt began last Wednesday when thousands of pups were clubbed to death on the ice of the White Sea. Thousands more were brought to shore alive in nets and sent to " farms " where they will be kept until their coats are ready for the pelt market. They too will then be murdered. Now the International Fund for Animal Welfare is calling on Sunday People readers to write letters calling on the Russian government to end this sick slaughter. IFAW director Masha Vorontsova said: " We are very concerned about the increased quota for the seal cull this year and want to put a stop to this barbaric practice. " Write your letters of protest to Seals, Sunday People, PO Box 6868, London E14 5AW and we'll pass them on to the Russian Embassy.
