Sea Shepherd: Attention all Canadians Support the Harb Seal Bill

The Canadian seal hunt (or more accurately, massacre) took the lives of over 220,000 seal pups in 2008. This year, a smaller slaughter of seal pups has already begun: the grey seal slaughter in Cape Breton. The Canadian government has also announced the quota on harp and hooded seals for 2009: 294,000 harp seals pups (not including the quota for Canada’s Inuit people), and 8,200 hooded seals.

Wouldn’t you rather see millions of dollars spent on retraining and supporting communities to become modernized and able to live in this new era than spending millions of dollars on the Canadian Coast Guard to clear Ice away for the Sealers, save them from dying in frigid waters due to ill equipped boats and on propping this industry up through various other means?

We realize the Canadian Government is worried about affecting low income communities, that is why we SUPPORT the amendment of the Fisheries Act to establish a budget of $1 Billion Dollars for the Community Adjustment Fund.

We want to see you actually support these communities with a BETTER way of living, not oppress them by allowing them to live in third world like conditions and working in blood shed every day while destroying our environment and oceans and innocent animals that deserve far better than this.

There won’t be any seals left to be “managed” by the DFO.

Canadians:
Take Action to End the Seal Hunt
For the first time in history, a Canadian politician is proposing a law to end the suffering of baby seals.
Senator Harb consulted with IFAW on this critical legislation and now he has asked us to help flood Canada’s Senate with messages of support. Please help us reach 200,000 emails and letters in the next few weeks: one for every seal killed this year.

This is our chance to end the hunt forever.

Please email your Senators urging strong support for the Harb Seal Bill to end the hunt.

STOP!!! The Bloody Seal Massacre

There should be nothing contentious about Canada’s annual seal massacre or slaughter, of baby harp seals annually, it’s wrong! simple as that!

You’ll never hear me call it a ‘hunt’ because that’s not what it is.

True hunters outwit, outseek, look for, find, have respect for their prey and only take what they need to survive etc.

The thugs brutes and just plain sons a that Canadian sealers AKA (baby seal murderers) are; are not hunters! they do not hunt! They simply walk up to the seal nursery and bash in the egg shell thin skull of every completely and utterly defenseless baby seal that’s there, and cruelly and horrifically destroy the newly born harp seals and their magical home which is absolute heaven on earth.

Canadian sealers have admitted doing this for fun

“we all go out for the love of it, rather then for the money”

http://www.seashepherd.org/news/media_070423_1.html

And themselves have said that horrific and unforgivable acts have occurred out there on ice floes which are routinely recorded and witnessed by observers every year it continues.

Contrary to popular belief, not every person in Newfoundland supports this and many are sympathetic towards the seals, as this is something no thinking compassionate person if they witnessed it in person with their own two eyes could ever tolerate.

Like I’ve said before these Canadian fishermen certainly don’t need it to survive and the DFO lies and goes to great lengths to protect an annual horrific, mad, sensless, wasteful, cruel, disgusting, shameful, unnecessary massacre of baby seals. Which exists in the modern era out of greed tradition and Newfoundland politics.

Being heartbroken certainly isn’t enough; we know what goes on! so let’s STOP!!! this bloody seal massacre once and for all.

Boycott Canadian Seafood! take away the fisherman’s #1 source of income which outweighs by billions the blood money which is made from the heinous and evil act that is sealing and make them give up this annual horrific unnecessary slaughter of hundreds of thousands of baby seals for fur coats.

Economic language is the only language the DFO (Destruction of Fisheries and Oceans) and Canadian government understands.

Just because something’s been going on a long time doesn’t make it right or justifiable in any way.

We can end this! spread the word of the boycott, don’t patronize Red (Dead Lobster) which is the biggest purchaser of Canadian seafood in North America and has thus far refused to join in the international boycott of Canadian seafood products; which was implemented to protest and stop Canada’s ultimate shame and its international disgrace it’s so selfishly and arrogantly likes to call it it’s ‘seal hunt’.

STOP THE BLOODY SEAL MASSACRE NOW!!!

Please visit my blog on my profile for written articles and links to help end this unnecessary shameful slaughter of hundreds of thousands of baby seals annually.
