79% Say 'Stop Canadian Seal Hunt' &#226;€&#147; 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 &#194;&#160;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.'

GREENPEACE.

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:
