All Out for the International Days of Action Against

Canada's Seal Kill: Two Dates Just Announced!

 

In Victoria, BC, Canada -- March 11, 2007

 

In Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, the March for the

Seals takes place on Sunday, March 11th, at 1 p.m.

Meet Friends of Animals at Centennial Square, where we'll

march with allies from Save our Seals Victoria to the Legislature. There

will be speeches and the latest advocacy information.

For more information, or to RSVP, contact Dave Shishkoff,

Friends of Animals' Canadian Correspondent, at

In New York City -- March 15, 2007

 

On Thursday, March 15th, from Noon to 2 p.m., Friends of Animals

will host a NYC rally in Midtown Manhattan, at the door of the

Canadian Consulate General's Office. Advocates worldwide are gathering this

day, alerting their cities that the world's largest commercial seal kill is

planned to start up again this spring on the ice floes off Newfoundland's

coast. In New York, advocates will gather to at 50th St. & 6th Avenue,

(1251 Avenue of the Americas), to demand that Canadian Consulate General

Daniel Sullivan and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper call for an

immediate end to the slaughter of seals and instead come up with a real

economic solution to the financial issues that coastal Canadian residents

face.

 

Posters and informative flyers will be provided for

attendees to hand out, and signatures will be gathered on public petitions.

For more information, or to RSVP, contact Edita Birnkrant,

Friends of Animals' NYC Campaign Coordinator, at 212.247.8120 or
