Help End Canada's Commercial Seal Slaughter (PETITION) [View all]

April 16, 2016
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)


Canada's commercial seal slaughter begins again in a couple of weeks.
Hard to believe this is still happening in 2016.

Tens of thousands of baby harp seals are shot and bludgeoned to death in Canada's commercial seal slaughter each year.
This is the year that we must end this cruel practice.

The U.S., the U.K. and Russia have all banned seal product imports.--we are at the tipping point.

Canada's new Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, is supportive of many social issues, including gender equality and fighting climate change.

Please join PETA in urging him to extend his compassion further and usher in a new era of kindness and fiscal responsibility by ending federal subsidies of the commercial seal slaughter.

Even if you have taken action in the past on this issue, we need your voice now more than ever.
The world has rejected seal products, and it's time for Canada to help sealers transition out of this dying industry, provide them with appropriate compensation, and start funding sustainable industries to benefit rural communities instead.

Note: I am not a member of PETA; but, as far as I know, no other animal rights group is doing anything to stop the horrific slaughter of thousands innocent baby seals every year.
