Did you know that the Canadian seal hunt in responsible for the cruel deaths of hundreds of thousands of baby seals each year? 

Facts:

• In Canada 97% of harp seals are pups and are killed under three months of age.
• The Canadian Marine Mammal Regulations that allow the hunt of these seals stipulates that the sealers may kill seals with wooden clubs, hakapiks (large icepick like clubs) and guns.
• The seal skin Processing plant deducts $2.00 per skin for more than one bullet hole. Therefore, leaving many of these seals who are wounded to suffer in agony.
• Clubbing and shooting of seals in Canada are inhumane and needs to be PROHIBITED!!!
• More than one million seals have been slaughtered in the past five years.
• Seals are killed for their fur, but the Canadian government representatives define the seal slaughter as “primarily a fur hunt”. This is a game to them.
• Less than 1% adds to an economic value. The Canadian government could easily shut down the seal hunt and replace it with economical alternatives.
• Seals are not over populated, like deer, and there is no reason to kill these young pups. It should not be a game. These are lives sent to earth for a purpose!!!
