The Clock on the Slaughter Starts Week!

As early as Tuesday, November 8, the Canadian government could issue the quota for how many seal pups can be legally bludgeoned to death in this seasons annual seal “hunt.” It is unclear why such a practice is referred to as a hunt as the animals are completely defenseless and have no way to flee. The facts are shocking.

Last season, almost 320,000 seal pups, only days and weeks old, were killed just for their fur, which is illegal in most countries including the U.S. A veterinary panel concluded as many as 42% were skinned alive while conscious. As many as 120,000 were killed in two days!

The great majority of Americans who are aware this slaughter is in full swing again, are appalled. The problem is, with all the natural disasters this year; there has not been enough news coverage. Most Americans have no idea this is still happening in North America.

Get angry and do something!
