In Namibia, South Africa, every year on July 1st, 80,000 Cape Fur Seals pups are scheduled to be slaughtered, by being beaten to death and shot.
The Namibian hunt is considered the most brutal of all seal hunts since it is the only country in the world that allows for nursing pups to be slaughtered, many skinned while still alive. The Namibian seal “cull” has become the largest slaughter of marine mammals on earth since the EU and Russia have banned Canadian seal products.
They are killed for their fur, oil, penises. Their genitals will be exported to the East where they are used to make ineffective sex potions for the Asian Market. The annual slaughter continues, even though they are listed on Appendix II of the United Nations Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.
Cape Fur Seals are a threatened species. They have suffered massive habitat loss and several mass die offs and should not be subjected to this annual slaughter. We ask the Namibia to stop the slaughter of Cape Fur Seals.
