BOYCOTT CANADA !!! STOP THE BRUTAL SEAL HUNT!
As Canada’s commercial seal hunt moves into the Northern Gulf and the Front off Newfoundland, IFAW hunt monitors have returned from Charlottetown with footage of the cruelty we witnessed firsthand.
Documenting the hunt is not easy work. It means hours of anxiously scanning the gulf region looking for sealing boats because the Department of Fisheries and Oceans won’t release specific coordinates of where hunting is taking place. It means watching hours of tape to make sure we document every violation that we captured on film.
But without this footage the world would have no idea of the kind of cruelty really taking place off the coast of Newfoundland.
Please join with us in growing the global community of activists needed to continue this effort.
We will continue to use this footage over the course of the year to show the unacceptable and unnecessary suffering inherent in this hunt, to encourage countries to ban seal products, and to work towards the ultimate end of the cruel slaughter of seal pups in Canada.
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of baby seals will continue to suffer and die. Despite the tragedy that global warming has wreaked on the seals this year (which you can see here), 270,000 seals are still slated to be killed.
Many of the hunters we caught on film jumped off moving boats and ran onto the ice to strike fleeing seals, hook them, and drag them back to the boats to be skinned. Once the skins were removed the remaining parts of the seals were then tossed overboard. Any witness to this slaughter cannot justify the unacceptably cruel manner in which this hunt is conducted.
Over 70,000 of you from around the world have posted your profile on StoptheSealHunt.org and spoken out against this ongoing tragedy. But in order to reach our goal of 300,000 actions for 300,000 seals I need you to add your voice to this global community right now.
Please take a moment to express in your own words what ending this hunt means to you and then consider making a financial contribution to help IFAW promote the footage hunt monitors have risked their lives to obtain.
The Canadian seal hunt is a stain on Canada’s reputation. But until the government gains the courage to stand up to the powerful fur and fishing industries, it will continue.
