Save the seal!!!Ban the hunting

Hundreds of thousands of seals have been killed annually in the commercial seal hunt. The harp seal population was reduced by as much as two thirds.
The actual number of seals killed is likely higher than the number reported. Many seals are shot at and injured in the course of the hunt. These animals slip beneath the surface of the water, where they die slowly and are never recovered.
Seals are killed primarily for their fur, which is used to produce fashion garments and other items. Seal penises have been sold in Asian markets as an aphrodisiac. There is almost no market for the meat, so seal carcasses are normally left to rot on the ice. Senior Canadian government representatives define the seal slaughter as “primarily a fur hunt”.
