It is unbelievable this is still going on - the mass slaughter of baby seals using the most brutal methods in Canada, and supported by the Canadian government with tax money from Canadian citizens. 2010, and yet this abomination continues. Who said the world is enlightened? In some places, yes.
Last year the European Union banned the products of this barbarism, and now they can only be sold to human and animal rights violators such as China.
If my country was doing this I would be a hundred times more disgusted, and I would be at the offices of my Senators and Congressman.

>> March 15th is the International Day of Action against the Canadian seal slaughter.
Join compassionate people like you for this online day of action against the bloody seal slaughter! We'll be posting details in the coming weeks about ways you can help without even leaving your house. From making phone calls to e-mailing petitions to friends, there are many ways to take just a minute to speak up for these animals.
Did you know that during Canada's annual war on seals, sealers routinely hook live seals in the eye, cheek, or mouth to avoid damaging the fur, then they drag the seals across the ice? Many of these gentle creatures may not even have eaten their first solid meal or taken their first swim before they are slaughtered for their skin!
