In just a few weeks, the largest slaughter of marine
mammals is set to begin on the ice off Canada's East
Coast. Over 300,000 seals, mostly babies, will be
bludgeoned or shot to death for their fur. Take
action:http://go.care2.com/e/jz2/I9/lTWk
But the income generated by the commercial seal hunt
doesn't go as far as the Canadian government would
like you to think; it accounts for less than one
percent of Newfoundland's GDP - an average of only
$1,000 per sealer.
What's worse, the seals are slaughtered in the most
inhumane fashion during the hunt - routinely clubbed
or shot and left to suffer on the ice, then dragged
over the side of boats with sharpened metal hooks.
Some are even skinned alive. Say no!

When Danny Williams, Premier of Labrador and
Newfoundland, was given the chance to tell the truth
about the hunt during a recent episode of "Larry King
Live" on CNN, he chose instead to lay false claims about
the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and their
documentation of the hunt's cruelty.
Claiming to speak on behalf of Canada's Prime Minister
Stephen Harper, Williams said: "IFAW representatives,
veterinarians and other experts have said the seal
hunt is humane."
The truth? There isn't a single reputable "expert" or
"veterinary group" that has observed the seal hunt and
called it humane. In fact, IFAW experts concluded the
slaughter to be inherently cruel and horrific. Take
action now: http://go.care2.com/e/jz2/I9/lTWk
Doesn't the public at least deserve to know the facts
about how baby seals are being killed?
Join IFAW and activists from around the world
in urging Canada's Prime Minister to tell the truth
about what's really happening on the ice.
