Save the Seals
Having fished the seas almost to extinction Canadian fishermen are eagerly anticipating the mass slaughter of baby seals due to begin next week. This year about 250,000 seal cubs will be bludgeoned to death bringing in about £8m in revenue.
These days life should be ever so slightly better for the baby seals. Legislation passed in 1987 demands that they be able to live for at least two weeks and more recently, and more importantly it is now illegal to skin the pups whilst they’re still alive. But in the rush to ‘process’ the maximum possibly number the rules tend to get ignored.
It is hoped that an EU wide ban on the sale of seal products could bring this yearly massacre to a grinding halt – but not till next year. The ban will prevent the movement of seal pelts through the EU to the major buyers in Russia and China.

Maybe I would support the banning of the Atlantic seal hunt if i didn’t know that other species of seal are in other places are worse off.
Shallow minded folk are ruining the world that they are trying to save. Because the protesters use old footage and non canadian , mainly ukraine people in the videos I cannot look at these people are reputable. They are using fake footage to get your support. Manipulating your shallow white seal loving minds into supporting their terrorist acts.
