SAMPLE LETTER:

 

End commercial seal hunt

 

Minister Thibault:

 

Please accept this letter as a petition opposing the commercial seal

hunt.

 

I was horrified to learn of the 2001 report produced by an

international team of veterinarians, which concludes that up to 42%

of seals are skinned alive. It is even more deplorable to learn that

the report is being ignored by the Canadian Department of Fisheries

and Oceans.

 

Despite more than 660 thoroughly documented violations of your

Canadian Criminal Code and Marine Mammal Regulations, including the

skinning of live seals that have been submitted to your department,

you have refused to pursue even a single criminal charge in response.

 

It is absolutely unacceptable that the federal government of Canada

has so deliberately and recklessly encouraged the decimation of a

wildlife population that is beloved by people all over the world.

Allowing the hunt to continue will guarantee a severe international

backlash, and possible boycott, against Canada.

 

I demand that you act according to the will of the international

community and put a stop to the cruel and unsustainable hunt for harp

and hooded seals once and for all.

 

Sincerely,
