EMERGENCY - SEAL HUNT 2007
Canada's annual Seal hunt has now ended for the 2007 period. This is the largest commercial slaughter of marine mammals on the planet.
By the end of the 2007 hunt, more than 215,000 seals had been clubbed (or shot to death by fishermen who hunt seals off-season to pick up extra cash by selling their skins). Almost all of the seal victims were babies -- some as young as 12 days old. During a recent hunt, veterinarians who examined dead seals concluded that 42% of the seals examined had most likely been skinned while they were alive and still conscious. Polls consistently show that most Canadians oppose the hunt, but still the Canadian government and fishing industry refuse to end it. With enough public support, this could change. Act now by visiting the the following links and also send the links to anyone you know who cares about protecting Canada's dissapearing seals.
