About this Petition Petition Letter

 I write to you  along with Millions of other concerned People worldwide to call for an End of  the Seal Hunt in  Canada.

Sanctioned by the government of Canada,and permitted by provincial authorities, up to 350,000 defenseless seals are killed annually in this manner.

The killing floes where the slaughter occurs are a devastating trail of endless red as sealers slaughter babies in front of their nursing Mothers. Whether they bleed to death from a hakapik, club, or are shot with rifles and shotguns, the seals suffer an agonizing and terrifying death through these methods. The Seal Hunt turns Canada's pristine wilderness into a bloodbath, and as such, are a direct threat to a real and valuable seal watching industry that is growing worldwide, along with a growing respect and care for marine life.  

 

We are calling for an end to the harp and hood seal hunt. The public outcry that occurs worldwide whenever the images from this slaughtering of seals are publicized will not go away. The dedication of individuals committed to ending this barbaric practice will not go away.

 

Please help to End the Seal Hunt forever! Boycott Canadian Seafood!

Dear Mr. Prime Minister Stephen Harper,

Dear Representative

we, the undersigned,
writing to express our Condemnation of the commercial Seal Hunt.
It is absolutely unacceptable that the federal government of Canada has so deliberately and recklessly encouraged the decimation of a wildlife population that is beloved by people all over the world. Recent polling clearly shows that close to 80% of Americans and Europeans oppose the seal hunt, with a substantial number willing to boycott Canadian products and tourism as a result.

Certainly, your recent actions will guarantee a severe international backlash. I demand that you act according to the will of the majority of Canadian people, 85% of whom believe that seals under a year of age should be protected from all hunting.

End this cruel and unsustainable hunt for harp and hooded Seals permanently.
Until you do we boycott canadian Seafood.

Thank you for taking the Time to read this Letter.
Sincerely,
we, the undersigned
