While we support that "The choices we make as consumers drive the seafood
market place. Your purchasing power can make a difference by supporting
those fisheries and fish farms that are better for the environment,
while at the same time relieving pressure on others that are not doing
as well. Some of the key problems that help us evaluate whether a
fishery is sustainable include the level of bycatch observed, the
fishing methods and their impact, if it is farmedhow it is farmed, and
how well the fishery or aquaculture operation is managed. With nearly
75% of the world's fisheries either fully fished or overfished, these
issues are more important than ever," we cannot support any
establishment or conservancy that supports those who support Canadian
Seafood. We petition you to ask your members to not serve Canadian Seafood.

The Canadian commercial seal hunt is the largest mass slaughter of marine mammals in the world, and Canada has slaughtered over 320,000 seals in March and April!
During the last three years, the government of Canada has delivered the death sentence to over one million baby harp seals. During the last two months, Canadian seal killers viciously slaughtered over 320,000 seals. Thousands more have washed up on the beaches of Newfoundland.
We will boycott all Canadian seafood, all other Canadian products, and
will not travel to Canada until the slaughter of seals is permanently
ended.
We will look at all labels to ensure that nothing we buy is from
Canada and we will encourage our family and friends to do the same.
We are asking individuals around the world to refrain from buying Canadian seafood from restaurants or grocery stores until the slaughter of harp seals is ended. We are recruiting restaurants, hotels, and food distributors to agree to not sell or serve Canadian seafood until the slaughter of harp seals is ended.
We petition you to ask your members to not serve Canadian Seafood.

- The slaughter of seals is incredibly cruel (a post mortem survey
has shown that 42% of these babies are skinned alive) - It is a threat to the survival of the species
- It is a threat to the survival of cod
- It is a slaughter done mainly for unessential, vanity, and
luxury items, and therefore, is unnecessary - It is unethical to slaughter newborn seal pups (About 95% of the
seals to be slaughtered are babies less than four weeks old) - The boycott of Canadian seafood is being promoted by many
organizations and has two parts:
We will boycott all Canadian seafood, all other Canadian products, and
will not travel to Canada until the slaughter of seals is permanently
ended.
We will look at all labels to ensure that nothing we buy is from
