Seal Slaughter - Your Reactions!

[Hanover]

Have you seen the footage on T.V? Were you shocked? Innocent harp seals being brutally slaughterd by club and hooks for their pelts! Enough is enough - Add your voice in protest!

The Canadian government has already announced plans to kill nearly ONE MILLION seal pups in the next three years despite evidence of widespread cruelty and grave threats to the population. This is the largest slaughter of marine mammals in the world and it will not end unless caring people like you take action now!

[dreams out loud]

that is so sad.....how anyone could do that to one of God's creatures is beyond me!

Someone should be them with a club and see how they like it

This has been going on for as long as I can remember. They poke out the mother's eyes and beat the babies. It makes me sick. I always send the protest things but it never stops I hate animal abuse!

 

[Hanover]

I'm almost certain that we all do U2Kitten - 'man is indeed the cruellest animal' - it's frustrating cause although it's occuring and we wan't to help stop it, the powers we have are extremely limited - one time when people protested it had an impact, nowadays, it just doesn't seem to hold the same weight - nonetheless, we have to believe that someday - cruelty like this will stop. It just has to!

I hope so I can't understand what kind of person would do such things, and who could buy anything made from the poor things knowing how they died

Here's the email I got:

Thank you for signing the Petition to save Canada's seals: "Stop the killing of seals in Canada." Your comments are being delivered.

Since you are clearly interested in helping these defenseless seal pups, we thought you should know about a great organization, The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). They are working on an urgent project to stop the slaughter of young seal pups on the ice fields of Canada. Read to find out more!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last week, IFAW brought journalists to Canada to witness the cruelty of the harp seal hunt. What they saw was heartbreaking: Newborn seals skinned or bled alive... clubbed to death... or shot and left wounded to die under the ice.

Within days, images of the carnage were on the front page of The New York Times and newspapers worldwide -- spurring a global outcry, and magnifying your voice, and the voices of others who led the way by signing the Care2 petition to save the seals.

Now we urgently need your help to capitalize on the incredible momentum that is building against the hunt. Please send a letter to your Senator urging immediate action. http://www.care2.com/go/z/13399

IFAW was the only animal protection organization on the ice this year -- as we have been for well over a decade. If we didn't arrange these journalist trips, the world would be completely unaware of this brutal slaughter.

The seal hunt continues unmercifully this week, and we are desperately working to push through U.S. Senate Resolution 269 calling on Canada to end the Commercial Seal Hunt. Please voice your support. Go to: http://www.care2.com/go/z/13399

Let's join together to strike a decisive blow against cruelty NOW, while the global outrage against the hunt is high. Please send your email message now, tell your friends about our campaign, and if you can... contribute online to help us continue the fight. To contribute, go to: http://www.care2.com/go/z/13403

For the seal pups ,

Fred O'Regan
President and CEO
International Fund for Animal Welfare

P.S. Remember... your Senators will respond if YOU tell them to support Resolution 269. It only takes a moment to send a message. Go to: http://www.care2.com/go/z/13399

And if you can, please consider supporting IFAW's campaign to protect these defenseless seal pups: http://www.care2.com/go/z/13403
