Prime Minister Stephen Harper,
We the undersigned believe very strongly that the Baby Harp Seal Hunt in your country, and in others as well, is so very wrong. We realize how busy you must be, but if you could please take the time to read this letter, you won't regret it. We realize that the seal hunt is making money for your country, and providing people with fur and meat, but can't you see where we're coming from? It's such a violent act, with people ambushing poor, helpless baby seals with clubs! There's really no REAL reason of why this absolutely has to happen, I'm sure Canada can get along just fine without the hunt. Canada is a great country, and without such a violent act it could be so much better!
While Canadians may view this act as "normal" or not too bad, most Americans see it as wrong, scary, and vicious! For example, a friend of mine left Canada not too long ago after visiting her grandfather. While she was there, she witnessed him club a baby seal to the point where they were almost dead, and then shot it. The rest of the time she was in your fine country, she told me, that she was terrified of her grandfather, and couldn't believe he could have done such a thing to such a poor, defenseless animal. Since that day she came back to America and told me that story, I haven't been able to let it go. I'm sure you'd agree with me that Canada doesn't want to be viewed upon as violent and scary; and just think of all the stereotypes that could begin once everybody found out about the seal hunt! People would be afraid of Canadians, and perhaps another Holocaust type thing could happen. Who knows? My point is, perhaps you could outlaw this terrible, terrible hunt? Or at least you could try? Please don't do this just for the sake of your country, just think of those poor, helpless, little snow angels. Think of when they're gorgeous, fluffy white fur is matted down with red, gooey liquid, because your country decided they wanted to beat the poor angel to death. Do this for the sake of God, would he want you to hurt such a precious life form? Please Prime Minister Harper, I beg of you.
I'd like to include one more thing before I close this letter, please remember that I am not forcing you to change these laws. Please remember I'm just a fourteen year old girl, I cannot do much. But please, while making your decision, look at the number of signatures in this petition. This is only a percentage of the people on Care2.com, think of all the people in all the countries that don't own computers, or don't know about this website. Please do not think that the amount of people that view this act the same way, is limited to the number of signatures in this petition. Please remember there are billions of people in this world, and while not all of them agree with me, a large percentage of them do. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter, you don't understand how much it means to me that you would even read it. Again, thank you and please think over this carefully. Please don't just decide against this in one night. Thank you!
