My name is Sofia Cunningham. I am only a twelve-year-old seventh grader and even I know the difference between right and wrong.

Picture this: You are a seal- just, hear me out. You are a seal and all of a sudden, some person with a scary-looking club walks up to you and raises the club. You try to scurry away but they end up beating you. After that one blow you stumble and try to get up to run away but you can’t. Then, before you can do anything, you get hit again. And again. And again. You keep getting hit until you die. It isn’t even a quick and painless death. It’s a long and agonizing one where you are beaten to death. Then, you are used to make a pelt. This is what seals must go through. Help them. They need your help in order to live! According to The Human Society Of The United States, “In recent years, hundreds of thousands of seals have been killed annually in the commercial seal hunt. More than one million seals have been slaughtered in the past five years alone.” This is unacceptable! Seals are usually killed using seal clubs which are heavy wooden clubs topped by a barbed metal hammerhead. Seal hunting should not be legal. It is morally wrong and seals are living things. Seals are also one of the many animals that help the environment. Why are seals any less important than humans are? We need your help, our goal is to eliminate seal hunting once and for all.
