After extensively researching the great Canadian seal hunt for a class project, I found that there was truly no reason for Canada to continue this barbaric practice. The Canadian government argues that seal hunting benefits the economy tremendously and is done sustainably, when truthfully it hardly stimulates the economy and the export of pelt has been banned in 40 countries. The practice is also thought to be regulated but in reality the hunters get away with terribly inhumane acts like skinning seals alive. What I want is to abolish this modern day massacre by creating a petition to let the government know how Canadians feel about being home to the largest aquatic animal slaughter in the world.
