To help end seal slaughter, do not buy Canadian seafood products such as snow crab, cod, scallops, and shrimp until Canada ends its commercial seal hunt for good. The fisherman who make their main living from this seafood, also slaughter the seals for a small addition to their income.
The Sea Shepherd is working in cooperation with the Humane Society of the United States, Harpseals.org, and with numerous other international organizations working to end the slaughter. Captain Watson is a director of Harpseals.org, an organization established or the specific objective of abolishing the Canadian seal slaughter. Harpseals.org is leading a large protest against Canada’s seal slaughter in Los Angeles today. We are also working with members of the European Parliament to have all seal products banned from import into Europe. We are in the process of mounting a high profile media ad campaign to oppose the slaughter and promote the boycott of Canadian seafood. We continue to target Red Lobster as a major corporation that supports the seal slaughter. We continue to boycott Costco for selling seal oil capsules in their Canadian stores.
We are organizing a “monumental” protest on March 15 at Canada’s Parliament buildings in Ottawa led by Canadian Sea Shepherd activist Steve Thompson.
Canada may be able to physically stop us from going to the ice this year but they cannot stop our ongoing efforts to abolish the world’s most cruel and massive marine mammal slaughter.
