Canada's cruel seal slaughter begins today

More than 300.000 animals to be killed for their fur.

 

" A sealer near us quickly clubbed every seal within a small radius, to

immobilize each of the pups, and then dragged the bodies to the center of his

circle. One by one he flipped a seal on its back and skinned it. If the seal

flipped around or fought against the skinning he'd flip it back to its stomach,

club it several more times and then finish the skinning. "

The cruel hunt has begun.

 

At daylight this morning, the first baby seal was killed for her fur

on Canadian ice. It was heartbreaking to watch, but bearing witness to this

cruelty -- and exposing it to the world -- is essential if we are finally to end

this slaughter.

 

I am now in Canada, leading a skilled team of experts from The

Humane Society of United States to the ice floes in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. We

are here once again to document the horrifying abuses inflicted by sealers,

abuses that violate Canada's own laws.

 

We are also here to bear witness to the brutality that is perfectly

legal and acceptable in the eyes of the Canadian government: the bludgeoning,

shooting, and skinning of hundreds of thousands of baby seals. Just two weeks

ago, I was on the ice with Heather and Paul McCartney, watching these same seals

nursing and playing with their mothers. Heather and Paul were so moved by their

beauty and innocence that they made a public plea to the Canadian government to

ban the hunt forever.

 

 

 

The hunt has begun.

Take action today.

 

 

Help save the baby seals by contacting Canada's Prime Minister and

urging him to put an end to the hunt. Your simple act could help end the seal

hunt forever. Even if you've previously written to him, please email him again

today.

 

 

 

We can make the Canadian government stop this hunt. But it will

require unrelenting pressure from people like you and me, who constantly tell

Canada that we will not stand idly by while hunters kill these baby seals. On

this tragic day, I urge you to join me in stopping the seal hunt forever. Take

action now.

 

Tell Prime Minister Harper to stop the seal hunt. Say that you will

not buy Canadian seafood.

With the recent election of Prime Minister Harper we have a new

chance to convince the Canadian government that the price of continuing the seal

hunt is too high to pay. Your message to the Prime Minister, urging him to stop

the hunt and letting him know that your dollars will not support the slaughter

of baby seals, is critical to the success of our fight to protect seals. Even if

you've previously written to him, I ask you to write him again today.

 

 

 

Donate to put an end to the hunt for good.

Your generous donation today will bring us closer to ending this

hunt forever. It will exclusively support our ProtectSeals Campaign. With that

support we can go head to head with the fishing industry and the Canadian

government as we create a public outcry so loud -- and an international boycott

so effective -- that Canada will no longer be able to ignore it. Simply click

here to make a donation to our ProtectSeals campaign today.

 

I want to thank you so much for your commitment to saving the seals.

Remember that you can stay in touch with the campaign with up-to-the-minute

news, videos, and actions throughout the hunt at www.ProtectSeals.org.

 

Your action and donation today truly make a difference in our

ongoing efforts to end the seal hunt.

 

Sincerely,

 

Rebecca Aldworth

Director of Canadian Wildlife Issues

The Humane Society of the United States
