Canada's seal hunt is the largest deliberate slaughter of marine mammals in the world.


Every winter in Eastern Canada, harp seal pups are left alone and vulnerable on the ice while their mothers search for mates; during this time, they are mercilessly slaughtered for their pelts.

Appallingly, the Canadian government subsidizes this hunt.


As if this wasn't bad enough, this week Governor-General Michaelle Jean visited an Inuit village and ate raw seal heart after slicing into a freshly slaughtered seal.


Attempts to validate these actions by claiming that hunting seals is a traditional way of life are unfounded.

This isn't about small town survival or native culture, it's an industrial machine that is killing for profit.


Despite the European Union's recent ban on seal products, Canadian officials are still pushing for the hunt to continue.


 Tell Prime Minister Harper that Governor-General Jean's actions do not speak for you. The world will no longer stand for this cruel and senseless hunt!


Thanks for taking action!


Target: Stephen Harper, Prime Minister
