End the Annual Canadian Seal Hunt

End the Annual Canadian Seal Hunt

The Issue

Each year, thousands of Canadians gather and brutally slaughter hundreds of thousands of baby harp seals. These seals are bludgeoned, skinned and shot to death for their fur. Seal fur is now banned in most countries and is worth very little in others, therefore this brutal slaughter has become rather pointless. The Canadian government must end this imhumane slaughter or, at the very least, create laws to make it far less painful and inhumane for these poor seals.
