The cruel hunt of baby seals has once again started in Canada. Hundreds of thousands of the baby seals will be beaten to death until the hunters reach their quota set (and approved) by the Canadian government. It is a practice that is barbaric and sick, and does not contribute much to the Canadian economy. For video and information on the hunt, you can go to the website of the Humane Society of the United States here. (http://www.hsus.org/)
I have vowed to boycott Canadian seafood until they vote to end this practice, including eating at Red Lobster. Thee United States has banned the import of the seal skins – it is only the European and Asian market that imports them.
I have written letters to Prime Minster Harper (quite an ironic name – the seals being killed are “Harp” seals) respectfully requesting him to ban this horrible practice. If you would like to do the same, I’m including the link HERE.
I truly believe that if enough people speak loud enough, and show their displeasure by boycotting Canadian seafood, changes will be made. Please do what you can to make a difference.
