Stop the Seal Hunt
Target: Stephen Harper, Prime Minister and Michael Wilson, Ambassador to the United States
Sponsored by: International Fund for Animal Welfare
Sponsored by: International Fund for Animal Welfare
This year the Canadian government promised a more humane hunt. They said "Canada's seal hunt is humane, sustainable and responsible." They lied.
IFAW Hunt Observers were on the ground and in the air documenting the hunt since it opened on the 28th of March. Only days into the hunt they captured on camera instances where animals were shot and clearly left to suffer. They witnessed live seals hooked and dragged across the ice. And in one of the more disturbing moments they watched as a sealer wrote an expletive on the ice while a recently clubbed seal behind him started to move...obviously still alive.
Is this the Canadian government's idea of a more humane hunt? Please urge the Canadian Prime Minister and Canadian Ambassador to end the cruelty of the seal hunt. Take action today!

Canada is proving itself to be on a par with primitive, barbaric and unprincipled societies. This is certainly not acceptable for a nation that is supposed to be civilized and progressive.

I thought we were supposed to be "civilised".

It take a heartless hateful person to just bash an innocent creature as vulnerable and sweet as a baby seal on the head with a club and then think that its ok.
# 89:
Hunters!!!! Put yourself in place of these innocent seals. Then you will realise how they feel. Stop this killing.

# 80:

This has to stop. Why kill these innocent creatures? I don't think it is fair to do this. They live far out away and other boats have to carve out a pathway in the ice for the hunters to get to them. We need to treat these creatures with respect, not slaughter.

How can we call ourselves civilised if we behave in such a barbaric way?

This has got to be once of the most cruel and barbaric ways in which to do nothing more than pander to certain people's ego to have 'real fur' as opposed to 'faux fur'. I absolutely refuse to purchase or consume any products that carry the "Made in Canada" label until this horrific practice is stopped.
