If you work in a restaurant or for a business that sells seafood, you are in wonderful position to help convince the Canadian government to end the cruel commercial seal hunt. A boycott of Canadian seafood*—even a boycott of only a few Canadian seafood imports—will send the message to fishermen from Canada's East Coast that it isn't in their financial interest to kill seals in their off season.
More than 75% of Canadian seafood is exported to the United States, producing $3 billion annually for the Canadian economy. This figure dwarfs the few million dollars generated from the seal hunt. It is the connection between commercial fisheries and sealing in Canada that gives seafood professionals and consumers the leverage needed to convince the Canadian government and individual fishermen to stop the slaughter of seals. Any of the following actions will help us put an end to Canada’s commercial seal hunt for good.
* The most common Canadian seafood exports are snow crab, cod, scallops, shrimp, haddock, herring, perch, lobster, mussels, yellow perch, sardines, flounder, tuna, whitefish, swordfish, oysters, sole, trout, and mackerel.
Please boycott the outback untill they remove canadian seafood from their menus!
