http://www.ifaw.org/ifaw/general/default.aspx?oid=21446 Saving Harp Seals The Canadian government has announced plans to expand the seal hunt and permit the deliberate culling of nearly one million seals over three years... the highest level of government-sanctioned cruelty to seals since the 1960s.

Sign our petition to call for an end to this cruel hunt. PETITION TO THE CANADIAN HOUSE OF COMMONS I, the undersigned, am deeply opposed to Canada๏ฟฝs plan to slaughter nearly one million seals over a three-year period - the highest quota in history. The vast majority of these animals (95%) are just days or weeks old and continuing to ignore the cruelty and waste inherent in this industry is simply unacceptable. Please act immediately to end this abuse and repair the damage to Canada's reputation as a humane and ecologically responsible society. Cheerio -- To avoid grizzlies, the Alaska Department of Fish & Game advises hikers to wear noisy little bells on clothes and carry pepper spray. Also watch for signs of activity: Black bear scat is smaller and contains berries; grizzly scat has little bells in it and smells like pepper.
