Marked for Death / Canada's Seal Hunt

[mousie]

Canada is preparing to begin another season of reckless killing on the ice pack off its Atlantic coast. Around a million seal pups were killed for their fur in the last three years, and there is no indication that the pace is about to let up.

This expected government-sanctioned eradication of hundreds of thousands of seal pups jeopardizes a species already facing an uncertain future as their habitat melts out from underneath them. Global warming is melting the ice that harp seals depend on for breeding, nursing and resting.

Take Action! Tell Canada's new Prime Minister to end this practice before it's too late.

This is one of the few things about Canada that I don't like. That this still goes on is totally barbaric and horrible...
