Stop Canada's Cruel Seal Hunt
This year the Canadian government will allow commercial sealers to slaughter 280,000 seals for their fur. Almost all of them will probably be babies as young as 12 days old.
Stand with me today to stop the seal hunt forever by joining the Canadian seafood boycott.
Seal hunting is an off-season activity for Canada's east coast commercial fishermen. They earn a small fraction of their incomes from selling seal skins to the fur industry: less than $7 million (Canadian) in 2008, compared to the nearly $2.4 billion taken in by the Canadian fishing industry from seafood exports to the United States.
The connection between the commercial fishing industry and the seal hunt gives consumers all over the world the power to end the cruel slaughter of seals.
The Canadian fishing industry has suffered a $750 million (Canadian) decline in the value of snow crab exports to the United States since the boycott began. That's more than $200 million a year.
Once you've signed the pledge, you'll be able to identify Canadian seafood by using The HSUS's downloadable pocket guide. You can also find out which restaurants and other businesses have also signed the pledge -- and which ones to contact to ask them to sign on.
