Stop the killing of seals in Canada
Target: Hon. Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada; Minister of Fisheries and OceansSponsored by: Erika Ceballos
Baby Seals Need Your Help!
This year, by late March, the Canadian seal killers armed with clubs and rifles will go again to the nursery floes of the harp and hood seal, to massacre them in the largest mass slaughter of marine mammals on this planet!
In 2003 alone, 350,000 seals where killed in this brutal way and this year and in 2005, each year they will kill 350,000 more to make a total of over a MILLION seals killed within 3 years.
Please sign this petition and send it to everyone who cares for the animals in the world to stop this extremely cruel slaughter of innocent seals in Canada.

I am disgusted to learn that such actions are allowed to take place. The saddistic torturing and killing of animals for profit needs to stop.

As you all know, this slaughter also takes place in Quebec (Iles-de-la-Madeleine)so that TAMASU, a company located in Quebec, which extracts seals oil, can sell it to Asia. Shame on our governments ! Shame on our country !

I had the painful/pleasure of while working for IFAW Canada .. to go to the ice to visit the seals, and to lobby against this slaughter ... this was back in 1981 ... now, it is worse, more seals are doomed to be slaughtered than ever before . We are going backwards in time instead of ahead ! This is the only mass killing of baby animals (in front of their crying mothers), IN THE WORLD .. it is the largest, and without a doubt, the most cruel and needless ! Shame on MY CANADA ! THIS IS THE HUNT WITHOUT PITY OR REASON ! ' From A Canadian living in Cornwall UK '

What kind of people kill such beautiful creatures in such an evil way? Have you ever seen the friendly big eyes of a seal? Seals, and this is proven, are very intelligent and playfull animals. I thought the Canadians were civilized people who cared for and respected their wildlife, HOW WRONG I WAS!!

I have no problem with people killing animals for self-preservation, in an humane way. But to club thousands of animals to death (and are they all dead when the butchering begins?) is an abhorrent practice. I don't care if it's because they're eating to much fish. That's our lookout. Nature has a fine balance and it's when we interfere that problems occur. If there are too many seals, then nature will sort it out. She isn't neccessarily humane, but it's how things are. Of course, the main reason these beautiful animals are killed is for what we can take from them. Is there anything that they have we can't live without? I doubt it. Please stop this killing now!

When those lovely creatures will be extinct, it will be too late to cry! Save our wildlife, so that our children, the future generations can also enjoy the beauties of this great planet! As Ghandi once said: "The greatness of a nation and it's moral progress can be judged by the way it's animals are treated". I always believed that Canada was a civilized and wonderful country, I guess I was wrong....

Simply said, this is a disgusting practice that must be stopped right now. I hereby boycott all products imported to the U.S. from Canada until this slaughter is stopped permanently.

When I found out that the Canadian government is allowing this killing of innocent beautiful seals, it made me ashamed to have Canadian citizenship.

THIS IS SO INHUMANE TO SKIN SEALS ALIVE AND TO KILL THEM FOR THEIR FUR! WE ALREADY HAVE CONVENIENT COATS TO PROTECT HUMANS FROM THE COLD. PLUS, THERE'S MEAT FROM CATTLE AND THERE'S NO NEED FOR SEAL MEAT. THERE'S ALREADY SUBSTITUTES FOR BLUBBER. SO, THERE'S NO NEED FOR THE KILLING OF ANYMORE SEALS AND ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO SKIN THEM ALIVE! I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT HUMANS SANK TO THIS DEGREE. THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THIS INHUMANE ACTS.

The torturing and killing of baby seals just for their fur has to stop! This is just to satisfy the appetite of the wealthy of the United States and other countries, including Japan. Not only that, the seals will end up on the endangered species list. There are so many beautiful "fake fur" coats out on the market.

I thought that canadians were conscious of the survival of endengered species, maybe more than other people in the world...I think I'm not wrong and that they will immediately stop the murdering of baby seals
