Seals Still Slaughtered in Canada - Keep Up The Fight!

Seals Still Slaughtered in Canada - Keep Up The Fight!

I pledge to...

<b>Canada's seal hunt is the largest deliberate slaughter of marine mammals in the world.</b> <br /><br /><br />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. <b><br /><br />Appallingly, the Canadian government subsidizes this hunt.</b> <br /><br /><br /> 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. <br /><br /><br />Attempts to validate these actions by claiming that hunting seals is a traditional way of life are unfounded. <b><br /><br />This isn't about small town survival or native culture, it's an industrial machine that is killing for profit. </b><br /><br /><br />Despite the European Union's recent ban on seal products, Canadian officials are still pushing for the hunt to continue.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/945545043"><br />&nbsp;<b>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!</b></a><br /><br /><br />Thanks for taking action!<br /><br /><br /><b>Target:</b> Stephen Harper, Prime Minister<br /><br /> <b>Sponsored by:</b> Care2<br /><br />
