Stop the Canadian Government's Plan to Kill Seals for Sex Potions
A shocking report reveals that the government of Canada is considering spending over $20 million in taxpayer dollars to develop markets for grey seal products, in a desperate attempt to justify the killing of tens of thousands of grey seals. Among other things, the plan proposes grinding up seal carcasses to make hotdog type products, and marketing seal penises to Asian buyers.
There is no scientific evidence to support a seal cull, and no markets for their products.
We should not be encouraging demand for the sex organs of wild animals, or perpetuating the idea that consuming exotic animal parts has any beneficial impact on virility.
Sign the petition and tell Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Gail Shea that you are outraged by the plan to cull grey seals, and ask them to oppose it unconditionally.
Subject: Stop Canadian Government’s Outrageous Plan to Shill Seal Penises!
Dear Prime Minister Harper and Minister Shea,
The Canadian Press has reported that a federally commissioned report is calling for $20 million to be spent marketing grey seal meat, pelts, and other "parts" — including selling seal penises to Asian markets.
I am outraged by this plan to kill grey seals, and call on you to stand up for animals and stop this. Commercial seal hunting is not a viable industry and a cull of grey seals is not supported by the current science. This is nothing more than a desperate attempt to appease fishermen who claim seals are eating all the fish.
Further, selling seal penises to Asian markets encourages demand for other wildlife parts - like tiger penises and rhino horns — that people mistakenly believe to improve health and virility. I am appalled that the government of Canada is perpetuating this belief by planning to market seal penis sex potions.
