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!

If this is Canada's version of humane, I don't want to see what cruelty looks like! These poor, beautiful, defenseless creatures are being killed for the pleasure of some really sick individuals. If I was the prime minister of Canada, something would be done right away, and the situation rectified immediately!

How can any civilized society allow this sick cruelty to continue. The United Nations of the world should rise up against this now and stop all alliances, foreign aid or assistance to whomever is responsible. An economic blockade would be a good start. That always seems to be the most attention-getting move. They don't care about the animals' suffering.

The seal hunt is the most inhumane form of hunting EVER. Prime Minsiter, I have much to say negatively about the USA, andit's tactics, but the fishing and seal hunting is abhorrent. The Wrath of God will soon be here. You do have time to right this wrong, but time is running out. If you read the Bible, heed my words. If you don't then do not worry, as God's plans for people that don't read the LAW (The Bible) and do not OBEY, will surely enter the Lake of Fire... Sorry to say, I will not be with you

Though I respect hunting conducted in ways respectful of the earth and its creatures, the current seal hunt is an inhumane and destructive embarrassment to humankind. Please stop further cruelty now!
