For thousands of years, harp
seals have migrated from Greenland down the coast of Canada, stopping each
spring to give birth on the ice floes. Every year, a band of fishers descends
on the ice to beat hundreds of thousands of seals to death and sell the
animals’ pelts on the international fur market. Sealers routinely hook baby
seals in eye, cheek, or mouth and drag them across the ice, often while the
animals are still conscious. Many of the seals killed in the massacre are only
a few weeks old.
Baby seals stand no chance
against club-wielding seal hunters- pups must look on as fellow seals are
bludgeoned to death only to then meet the same bloody fate. The commercial seal
slaughter is an off- season profit venture for the fishing industry, and it accounts
for less than 1 percent of New found land’s economy. The seal slaughter is not
a subsistence activity for native peoples- Inuit sealing accounts for only
about 3 percent of the annual slaughter.
The price of seal fur is
plummeting as international outrage against the seal slaughter rises. The U.S.
and the European Union have banned seal products, and world leaders have denounced the massacre. The annual seal
slaughter will continue unless people like you speak out and take action to
stop it, so please add your voice to the global outcry against Canada’s
shameful seal massacre.
