Layla Taking Action for care2 – Baby Seal Slaughter

This week, the annual slaughter of baby seals off the coast of Newfoundland began. Just days ago, seals were basking in the sun, innocently enjoying their icy paradise. Now, blood covers the ice floes and trails through the water as seals less than three months old are shot and beaten to death. Tell Prime Minister Harper: end the cruel slaughter of baby seals immediately. » Not only is this horrible practice condemned by scientists who say it’s reckless, irresponsible and threatens the survival of seal populations, it doesn’t make sense for Canada’s economy. Only a few thousand people kill seals in the off season, and these commercial fishermen earn just a tiny fraction — less than 5 percent — of their income from the seal slaughter. Speak out against Canada’s annual seal slaughter. » Polls consistently show the overwhelming majority of Canadians oppose the annual slaughter and their tax dollars being used to promote it. Urge Stephen Harper to do what’s right for Canada — and the seals: end the yearly seal hunt forever. » Thanks for taking action! Kayla ThePetitionSite
