"In a filing submitted yesterday to the Montreal-based CEC, the group also alleges that Ottawa is allowing such high numbers of seals to be killed each year, including regular quota overruns, that it could deplete the population and cause "serious or irreversible damage to the northwest Atlantic ecosystem."
You know, sometimes I think people don't realize the actual cruelty involved in seal hunting. It is very upsetting. I don't care if they are animals, they are still live beings and they do not deserve to be tortured and killed. If you are interested in seeing the brutality, you can watch this video...it immediately turned my stomach.
"The 2006 Canadian seal hunt left more than 350,000 seals dead -- almost all of them were babies as young as 12 days."
You can sign petitions and boycott Canadian seafood. You can also wear "Seal Protection" gear. They have some very cute shirts to support the cause.Labels: petition, seals, wildlife |
