Dear Friends,
Here's something which is very close to my heart...very close indeed...and we should all do something to stop these massacres...
The 2006 Canadian seal hunt left more than 350,000 seals dead -- almost all of them were babies as young as 12 days.
This year, before the seal hunt had even begun, hundreds of thousands of baby seals had already died as a result of catastrophic ice loss. Despite this grim reality, the Canadian government insisted on allowing the hunt to continue, setting a crushing quota of 270,000 seals.
Stand with me today to stop the seal hunt forever by joining the Canadian seafood boycott. https://community.hsus.org/campaign/protectseals/
Seal hunting is an off-season activity for Canada's east coast commercial fishermen. They earn a small fraction of their incomes from selling seal skins to the fur industry: only a reported $17.5 million (Canadian) annually, compared to the nearly $3 billion taken in by the Canadian fishing industry from seafood exports to the United States. The connection between the commercial fishing industry and the seal hunt gives consumers all over the world the power to end the cruel slaughter of seals.
The Canadian fishing industry has suffered a $350 million (Canadian) decline in the value of snow crab exports to the United States.
Once you've signed the pledge, you'll be able to identify Canadian seafood by using HSUS's downloadable pocket guide. You can also find out which restaurants and other businesses have also signed the pledge--and which ones to contact to ask them to sign on.
