| Paul McCartney protecting the seals |
 "Please take a few minutes now to tell the EU you support a ban on seal product trade." - Paul McCartney
That's right Paul McCartney is now contributing to the fight in saving the seals.
Twenty-five years ago, the European Union made history when it ended its trade in products from newborn harp seals. Commercial seal hunting in some countries came to a virtual standstill, and countless baby seals were saved. But the hunters began to kill the pups when they were slightly older -- and the products from those seals are legally traded in the EU. Today, some commercial seal hunts are twice as large as they were when the EU first took action.
I've posted about this before, because I have seen the video footage of how seals are brutally killed. I don't believe in killing animals at all, and I certainly don't feel there is anyway to justify clubbing a baby seal to get its fur. There are rules in regards to "humanely slaughtering" an animal and I can tell you beating it to death is NOT on the rule list.
You can take action in standing up against this by going to BanSealTrade.org.Labels: seals |
