Ninety-eight percent of the animals killed in the past two years have been baby seals between two weeks to three months old. Please urge the Canadian Prime Minister to stop the slaughter of harp seal pups! » Harp seals are facing a new threat -- global warming -- which is resulting in dramatically reduced ice coverage in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and off Newfoundland. And despite the potentially devastating effects of global warming to harp seal breeding grounds, the Canadian government has raised the annual seal hunt quotas to the highest levels in history. Apart from these serious conservation concerns, the seal hunt targets baby animals, a practice that is unacceptable to the majority of Canadians. Severe cruelty has been witnessed and documented at the hunt during the past 30 years and incidents of cruelty are not decreasing. End this unnecessary cruelty to seals and to restore Canada's pride as a humane and ecologically responsible society. » Thanks for taking action!SamerThePetitionSite Stop Unnecessary Seal Pup Deaths in Canada Forward to a friend >>Read the petition >> To stop receiving this newsletter, visit: http://www.care2.com/newsletters/unsub/3/0/2650228/33784267 or send a blank email message to:ng-u-3-2650228-7731463-12305088-24b6ebf4 Care2.com, Inc.275 Shoreline Drive, Suite 300Redwood City, CA 94065http://www.care2.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
