BAN CANADA'S 2010 OLYMPICS...no more blood $!

Stephen Harper and Members of the Canadian Parliament

Canada's response to the World's outcry against this horrendous crime towards their seals and babies is quoted as follows:
Canada's prime minister, Stephen Harper, on Thursday warned the European Commission president not to prohibit Canadian seal skins, arguing that public pressure for a ban is based on misinformation from activists.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper told European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, according to a statement, "that it is imperative for European Union member nations to consider their next steps carefully as they discuss any measure that would restrict or exclude the sale of seal products within their borders."
The two leaders met on the sidelines of a G8 summit in Japan.
Harper said Canada's hunt is "humane, sustainable and regulated," and added "public pressure within the European Union to curb the sale of seal products is based on misinformation from anti-sealing organizations and extremist groups."
Each year, anti-sealing activists clash with sealers and Canadian fisheries officials on Canada's Atlantic coast, denouncing the hunt as cruel.
Protestors have called for a complete halt to all trade in seal furs, but World Trade Organization rules would make such a step impossible, a European source said.
The commission is expected to make a decision whether to ban the importation of furs made from the skins of young seals hunted in Canada when it meets on July 23.
It will then look to the EU's 27 member states to approve or vote down the measure.
But Harper warned: "Canada will not stand by and accept measures that fly in the face of accepted international practices for sustainability and trade and undermine trade of seal products harvested in accordance with international standards."
A Parliament member, Loyola Sullivan, was quoted as saying, "we will burn the furs if we have too!" This was in response to fallen sales.

I would never set foot as a tourist in Newfoundland or anywhere where the government allows this atrocity to happen. This is barbarism plain and simple. Disgusting greed keeps this monstrous machine alive and I refuse to stand by without making my disgust heard. Absolutely unacceptable.

"Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is...whether its victim is human or animal...we cannot expect things to be much better in this world...We cannot have peace among men whose hearts delight in killing any living creature. By every act that glorifies or even tolerates such moronic delight in killing we set back the progress of humanity." ~ Rachel Carson, American Biologist and Novelist

This is an outrage and must be stopped. Anyone with even an ounce of decency and a conscience should be horrified by this.

La façon ignoble dont ces animaux sans défense sont lâchement abattus et, bien souvent, dépecés vivants devant leur mère qui gémit de douleur. Les massacres de ces mammifères innocents continuent au Canada, massacres qui se font même de plus en plus nombreux. Il est révoltant de savoir que le Canada subventionne la chasse aux phoques. Elevons nous, avec force, contre cette barbarie qui profite le plus souvent à des couturiers de renom tels que: Oscar de la Renta, Dolce &Gabbana, Fendi, Gucci, Michael Kors, Karl Lagerfeld, Yves St Laurent, Valentino et Versace ou à des industriels qui n’ont que faire de la souffrance animale. Il s’avère aussi que les massacres des bébés phoques ne se justifient pas écologiquement, puisque ces tueries scandaleuses déséquilibrent même l’écosystème de l’Atlantique nord

I live close to Vancouver and have not participated in any of the torch gatherings nor will I purchase items related to the olympics and I certainly will not be attending. The seal slaughter is an embarrassment to Canadians.
