Stop Unnecessary Seal Pup Deaths in Canada

Canada's annual commercial seal hunt is a cruel and unethical practice that produces a product nobody needs. Ninety-eight percent of the animals killed in the past two years have been baby seals between two weeks to three months old.

Please urge the Canadian Prime Minister to stop the slaughter of harp seal pups! »

Harp seals are facing a new threat -- global warming -- which is resulting in dramatically reduced ice coverage in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and off Newfoundland. And despite the potentially devastating effects of global warming to harp seal breeding grounds, the Canadian government has raised the annual seal hunt quotas to the highest levels in history.

Apart from these serious conservation concerns, the seal hunt targets baby animals, a practice that is unacceptable to the majority of Canadians. Severe cruelty has been witnessed and documented at the hunt during the past 30 years and incidents of cruelty are not decreasing.

End this unnecessary cruelty to seals and to restore Canada's pride as a humane and ecologically responsible society. »
