The 2008 seal hunt, one of the largest scale slaughters of mammals in the world, has begun. This year Canada will club nearly 300,000 of to death. And those will be the lucky ones. Many others will survive the bludgeoning, only to be left to die because our skins are not fashionable enough.
Every year, Canadian fishermen from Newfound and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Quebec and Prince Edward Island club hundreds of thousands of baby seals for their fur. Below you can see some footage from last year. WARNING: It’s not pretty.
We need your help!
In 2010, the Canadian city of Vancouver will host the Winter Olympics. It’s an opportunity for the people of the world to send a clear message to the people and the government of Canada that state-sanctioned animal cruelty of this nature is no longer tolerated in the civilized world.
Here’s what you can do:
- Urge the sportsmen in your country to boycott the Vancouver games.
- Write to the Prime Minister of Canada urging him to end this barbaric practice.
- Boycott products of all the Olympic sponsors until they pull out of the sponsorship deals.
- Sign up to our mailing list.
- Spread the word to your friends.
Thank you for helping us.
