BOYCOTT CANADA - ADVISE OTHERS TO DO THE SAME. Canada is dismissive of the international opposition it faces to this hideously cruel practice and shows contempt for world opinion on the issue. The Canadian Government is now promoting one of the cruellest hunts in history. It is using the seals as 'scapegoats' for its own mistakes having overseen the depletion of North Atlantic fish stocks by over fishing. It is time for the public to show that they will not tolerate these excesses. Canada is blatantly circumventing a European law aimed at stopping this terrible slaughter and it is now time for us to fight back. In 2001 UK tourists spent the equivalent of 1.026 billion Canadian dollars - this is a massive source of income to Canada. Whereas the seal hunt, by contrast, is a volatile industry and although accurate figures are hard to come by it is estimated to be worth approximately only Can $6 million. The hunt is actually heavily subsidised by the Canadian Government and when the subsidies are taken into account it is worth closer to just Can$ 3million. Staying away from Canada is the only way you can be sure that none of your money is being used to subsidise the hunt and will make the Government, which currently finds it so easy to ignore public opinion, begin to take notice as its income from tourism declines. The Canadian Tourist Board's slogan is "Discover our True Nature" - as its true nature involves clubbing seals to death and skinning them while they are still alive it is not a great selling point. BOYCOTT CANADA - ADVISE OTHERS TO DO THE SAME. Write to Canadian High Commission, Macdonald House, 1 Grosvenor Square, London W1K 4AB advising them of your outrage at the level of the barbaric seal hunt and your intention to stay away from their country until it is stopped. http://www.boycott-canada.com/ 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.
