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. 

 

IFAW led the campaign to "Save the Seals" in the 1970's. Now we need
your help to stop this latest attack on defenseless seal pups.

for a Million Seals" 
Petition

The Canadian government's plan to deliberately cull the harp seal herd
has no scientific justification and is out of step with modern
science. 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.

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.
