PROTECT Seals
The Issue
The government of Canada has authorized the slaughter of 60,000 grey seals for 2011. That amounts to roughly 80% of the grey seal pups born this year, and the first kills are expected to take place in the protected wilderness area of Hay Island, Nova Scotia.
Please urge Nova Scotia’s Minister of Tourism to stop this hunt immediately.
