March 8, 2006Annual seal cull due, please help! warning..images
alt="image title" align="middle"/>I really want your help! xJude Please help today!! 79% Say 'Stop Canadian Seal Hunt' – 73% Say 'Ban Seal Imports' Nearly one million seal pups have been clubbed or shot to death over the last three years during the annual Canadian seal slaughter And it's about to start all over again at the end of March. 'I forced myself to watch as sealer after sealer smashed his steel-tipped club into the faces of these beautiful creatures. It was the most brutal sight I have ever seen....It was clear that the sealers had scant regard for even the feeble regulations that exist. They ran from one helpless seal to the next clubbing as many as they could, ignoring the requirement to check to see if an animal was dead before moving to the next. Many weren't and were left squirming in agony.'

Anyone who knows Greenpeace knows that we did, we still do, and we will continue to, oppose the commercial Canadian seal slaughter. Greenpeace was part of a movement that first actively campaigned against commercial Canadian sealing between 1976 and 1983. Since that time, we have stepped back from the frontline as other groups such as the International Fund for Animal Welfare, and other organisations, have taken the lead in campaigning against the slaughter of seals. However, our opposition to this hunt is remains firm and we are actively supporting these organisations through web activism and direct political lobbying. We oppose any human activity harmful to populations of seals. We oppose the killing of seals for commercial trade. We oppose TAKING ANIMALS FROM ENDANGERED, THREATENED OR SERIOUSLY REDUCED POPULATIONS, from populations whose status is unknown or where it is thought that such takes may have an adverse effect. With the combined expanded hunt and the effects of climate change, the impacts on the population are at best uncertain and by some predictions ARE IN EXCESS OF A SUSTAINABLE BALANCE. The commercial hunt also negatively impacts the small hunt for adult seals conducted by the Inuit native populations, which Greenpeace does not oppose provided they are sustainable, subsistence hunts. Greenpeace supports the efforts of the International Fund for Animal Welfare and other organisations that are taking action against the commercial hunt for Harp and Hooded seals this year: we encourage our supporters to take action by visiting the following websites: www.ifaw.org > > > >www.greenpeace.org --------------------- P.S. WWF supports seal clubbing...ask me for more info...
