The End of the Seal Slaughter Is Finally Near

I'm delighted to share some exciting news. Today, Canadian senator Mac Harb introduced a historic bill to end Canada's commercial seal slaughter.Now that Russia—which had imported 95 percent of Canadian seal pelts—has joined the U.S., the E.U., Mexico, and others in banning seal fur, there are no markets for this fur. If passed, Harb's bill would transition people in sealing regions into sustainable economic programs. Senator Harb's bill comes on the heels of Sarah McLachlan's recent appeal on PETA's behalf to Prime Minister Harper urging him to end the slaughter and consider a government buyout of the sealing industry.

We are finally near ending the seal slaughter once and for all, but we need your help. Please take a few minutes and click here to urge Canadian senators to support Harb's bill.

A victory is within reach, but it is not possible without your support. Please share this urgent alert with your friends and family on Facebook, and ask them to join you in speaking up for seals today.

Thank you for everything that you do to help animals.

Speak Out Against the Seal Slaughter

In just a few days, baby harp seals will encounter Canadian sealers who will beat, shoot and skin as many of them as they can while their pelts remain soft enough to sell on the international fur market. Just like human mothers, mother harp seals feel a deep sense of responsibility towards their newborn pups, but they can only watch as the sealers' spiked clubs slam into their babies' heads and their skins are ripped off their bodies, sometimes while they are still alive. we can't let this happen again. Please sign PETA's petition to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper demanding a permanent end to the annual slaughter of seals. And please donate to PETA right now so that we can continue our fight for seals and all other animals who need us.

Thanks to compassionate people like you, PETA and our international affiliates are close to stopping this senseless massacre. A majority of Canadians say that they're against the annual slaughter. And the international outcry against the horrifying massacre is growing. PETA and our international affiliates have already helped shut down an estimated 95 per cent of the global seal-fur market, and the Canadian government is quickly running out of excuses to let the killing of young seals continue.

We will win the battle to end this massacre. But we can't win without your support. Please, for a better future for mother seals who have yet to witness the horror of watching their newborns be skinned alive – sign our petition and help us protect seals and the rest of the world's animals who face suffering and death by making a generous donation to PETA. When you donate today, you'll help us do the following: Defend the European Union's ban on selling seal fur, which Canada is contesting right now. Mobilise people around the world to put pressure on the Canadian government and Prime Minister Harper to end the slaughter Campaign even harder and louder to generate a global outcry unlike anything the world has seen before. We believe that every seal – every animal – has the right to live free from exploitation for trivial human interests. We will work day and night to protect those rights, no matter how small the animal. Thanks to you and your support, countless animals will be spared cruel treatment.

On behalf of all of the world's animals, thank you. The clock is ticking down to an end to the slaughter, but as long as any young seals are threatened for their fur, we must do all that we can to help stop it. Please sign our petition and make a donation right now to help PETA stop the killing and strengthen all our campaigns for animals.

End the Canadian seal hunt

To: Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans

319,000 seals this season alone are estimated to fall victim to this cruel and barbaric hunt. Time and time again Canada has stood by and supported this, going so far as to call it "humane". Year after year, this continues and even with the EU ban fully in place, it shows no signs of slowing down. In this modern age, there is no place for such barbaric acts! These pups deserve a chance to live, just like the rest of us. By all definitions, this is an annual genocide. Its about time this stopped!

I realise this is a little late into the current season, but as a recent 'victim' to some anti-canadian hate based solely around this subject, its been hot on my mind. Many times I have sent off letters to government, displaying my outrage and many times I have received back an evidently mass produced letter. Well, enough is enough! I'm launching a full scale, world wide effort to end this and I need your help! send this to everyone you know, we are going big or we are going home! It's about time this country started listening to its people and the rest of the world!

fair warning, the video attached contains graphic content.

Update #1

Seeing as people clearly aren't reading what I put in the comment section, here it is. Right up front.

I would just like to say, for those of you wanting to comment on this post, can we please refrain from the hate! As I already mentioned on this petition, I have been victim to much hate these past few weeks simply for residing in Canada. Regardless of what our country does, we are people all the same, we have feelings and those kind of comments do hurt and anger some people. I do not take kindly to having this kind of hate plastered across my cause. This is not what the cause is about, we are here for the animals and the animals only, that's what we all share in common regardless of our nationality. It is hurtful, offensive and by all means bullying. As compassionate and decent human beings we should respect each other.

ude Law’s Seal Appeal

“As an actor who will always consider Britain home, I was proud to learn that the European Union has banned seal-fur imports. In light of next week’s seal-products dispute hearing, I’m writing to urge the panel to uphold this ban, which is in line with the wishes of compassionate people all around the world, including the majority of European citizens.”
So wrote Jude Law to the World Trade Organisation (WTO), as it decides whether to overturn the European Union’s ban on importing seal fur at a final hearing in Geneva this week.
The award-winning thespian penned the letter, on behalf of PETA, just days after the start of Canada’s annual seal slaughter, in which club-wielding sealers bash in the heads of thousands of baby animals in order to skin them and sell their soft pelts. The EU, along with all other major markets including Russia and the USA, has banned the import of seal-fur, recognising the cruelty inherent in the seal massacre.
As a result, killing seals is no longer commercially viable, and even the minority of Canadians who traditionally have supported the slaughter are turning against it. Yet rather than ending this violent industry once and for all, the Canadian government is challenging the EU ban as a last-ditch effort to revive the trade.
Jude is not alone in calling on Canada to see sense, and stop the seal slaughter. Native Canadian Pamela Anderson also sent a message to the WTO earlier this year, while huge numbers of people across the globe have been moved to write to the Canadian government about this issue.
We’ll keep you posted on the WTO’s hearing. And, at this crucial moment, you, too, can speak out against the killing of baby seals. Please send a message to Canadian ministers asking them to put a stop to this barbaric and redundant industry now.

top the Seal Slaughter! Urge Canada to End Shameful Killing

http://action.peta.org.uk/ea-action/action?ea.client.id=5&ea.campaign.id=19386

[color][font]
For centuries, pregnant harp seals have migrated from Greenland down the coast of Canada, stopping each spring to give birth on the ice floes off Newfoundland. And every year, the Canadian government funds a trade in which the baby seals are massacred by club-wielding sealers from the local fishing community while their pelts remain soft enough to sell on the international fur market. The commercial seal slaughter is not a subsistence activity for native peoples but an off-season fishing industry cash grab, and it accounts for less than 1 per cent of Newfoundland's economy.

Over the last few years, all major markets have banned seal-pelt imports, including the US, the European Union, Mexico, Taiwan and even Russia, which had been importing 95 per cent of Canadian sealskins. The only reason the Canadian government continues to defend this dead industry is because political parties crave Newfoundland's swing seats in Parliament. But now even local sentiment is turning, and Canadian officials are seriously examining whether the slaughter should end.

Sealing is surely on the way out, but we need your voice to reach the tipping point. The time is now to urge Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Keith Ashfield, Minister of Foreign Affairs John Baird and Minister of International Trade Ed Fast to help bring the commercial seal slaughter to an immediate end by supporting a government buyout.

In Namibia one of the cruelest and largest acts of violence against any animal is taking place. Right now terrified seal pups are being rounded up, separated from their mothers, and brutally beaten to death.
From the beginning of July all the way through to November up to 85 000 seals will be slaughtered in Namibia annual seal cull.
And as the only country in the world to allow the killing of nursing pups, the Namibian slaughter is regarded as the world’s cruelest.
It is estimated that there are about 1 million Cape Fur Seals left in the wild. If the cull continues in its current form, unsustainable and without merit, the species will be all but extinct by 2019.
What would be laughable if it was not so cruel is that Cape Cross, one of the locations of this so called “Harvest” is a seal reserve which was established to protect them. But for five long months the resort becomes a killing field. It is closed off, no journalists are allowed in.
From 6am to 9am the clubbing goes on unabated. Only stopping to clean up before the tourists arrive.
Happy feet walk oblivious where blood soaked sand turned the golden sunset red. Children play and laugh where the yelps and cries of terror and pain failed to penetrate and touch those hardened hearts, as they mercilessly bludgeon pup after pup.
A message needs to be sent: We will not stand for this mass extermination.
We will not stand by whilst seals suffer the most horrific, painful and cruel deaths.
These seals need your help. Speak for them, because they cannot speak for themselves. less

Help put a stop to the horrific slaughter of baby seals today. http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AhUSq/zN7y/bst8i As I write this, seal pups are being rounded up, separated from their mothers, and brutally beaten to death. There are an estimated one million Cape fur seals left in the wild. In the space of five months, eighty five thousand of these seals will be slaughtered in Namibia, the only country in the world that allows the killing of nursing pups. If we don't act now to stop this slaughter, Cape fur seals will be extinct by 2019. http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AhUSq/zN7y/bst8i Every morning from 6am to 9am, death squads swarm the beach murdering seals in cold blood. Journalists are barred from the scene. By 9am, the death squads clean up the carnage for when tourists arrive, ignorant of the slaughter that happened just hours before. Speak out to make sure these crimes are no longer ignored.
