Hi lynn,

For the past two years, the market for seal fur has been saturated and pelt prices are now the lowest in recent memory. But the quota for Canada's seal hunt this year is 280,000 harp seal pups! This is outrageous and completely indefensible.

It's time to stop Canada's commercial seal hunt once and for all. »

If this is a market-based hunt, as the Canadian government claims, the quota for this year should be zero. Especially once you consider the potential European-wide ban on the horizon. No, the only reason the hunt continues is politics.

Canadians would be much better served by a government that stopped playing regional politics, stopped the unnecessary slaughter of seals and started investing in alternative, economically viable employment opportunities.

Please act today to support the historic bill that would finally stop the slaughter of harp seals. »

Canada's seal hunt is unnecessary and economically nonviable. The time has come to transition Canadian sealers into new and more rewarding industries that do not involve cruelty to animals.
