The opposition to Canada's seal hunt is truly global.
The original coalition has been joined by a number
of other organizations.
Collectively, these groups represent tens
of millions of individuals worldwide.
The 2005 Seal Hunt: From Brutality
to Boycott
Following the second phase of this year’s Canadian seal hunt, the official kill count
stood at 259,965 seals, a number that solidifies the hunt's reputation as largest commercial slaughter of marine mammals on
the planet. Of the dead, 99.5% were baby seals, one month or younger. By the end of the hunt in May, more than 300,000 baby
seals will have been killed. Appalled by our on-ice reports, people worldwide are clamoring for an end to the hunt. You can
help us convince the Canadian government to stop the hunt forever by joining our boycott of Canadian seafood.
Why
boycott Canadian seafood?
Seal hunting is an off-season activity conducted by fishers from Canada's East Coast. They
earn a small fraction of their incomes from sealing—primarily from the sale of seal pelts to European fashion markets.
But the vast majority of the sealers' incomes are from commercial fisheries. Canadian seafood exports to the United States
contribute $3 billion annually to the Canadian economy—dwarfing the few million dollars provided by the seal hunt. The
connection between the commercial fishing industry and the seal hunt in Canada gives consumers all over the world the power
to end this cruel and brutal slaughter.

975,000 BEAUTIFUL WHITE BABY SEALS
It is easy to forget to
care for our Animals.And preserving nature in our world.It is a gift we are too close to losing.Words nor photographs can
do justice to being in a place where perhaps no one has ever walked before
Stop the Cruel and Senseless Baby Seal
Hunt.
975,000 BEAUTIFUL WHITE BABY SEALS
It is a cold and glistening day, The ice is so pure and white.
The stillness is forever untouched, Small
white bundles of fur lying next to their mothers,
Each one moving close to be warmed, Snuggling their little black
nose into their mothers belly,
The ice is full of Joy and Birth With each one ready to start a new life in this
world.
As far as the eye can see, the love of a new family, Canada had the ideal place to go until we saw the
Reality.
Now is that time of year when these new babies will only know fear, Men will come out hunting and bashing
them in their head s with all their gear.
One by one they will die a suffering death, Not ever getting the chance
to take on last breath.
12 days old and enduring more pain than we will ever imagine Some not quite gone, being
skinned alive, My eyes cry with such a vision.
The hunters are many on the ice, the ice is no longer it’s glistening
white Now when you look out across the land all you see is blood from the hand of man.
Their eyes sparkle looking
at them, But they don’t care they keep killing them,
In just a few short days they all are gone, Nothing
remains but the blood in the early predawn,
So many have died, So many have suffered, So many, So many.
975,000
Beautiful baby white seals lay on the ice, 975,000 Beautiful baby white seals now pay the price.
To the Animals,

Recent News
from the Farley Mowat in the North Atlantic:
04/18/2005
A Sea of Blood as the Government of Canada Tallies
the Dead and the Dollars
Report from the Farley Mowat
Position: The North Atlantic Ocean
The Canadian
government halted the seal slaughter on Sunday night so they could tally how many innocent baby seals were cruelly slaughtered
since the killing began in the Gulf of St. Lawrence on March 29th.
Seal carcasses left on the iceThe kill quota this
year is 320,00 seals. If the average seal is one meter in length, then every thousand seals killed is a kilometer. In other
words, if you line up the seals in this quota end to end, this amounts to a line of dead seal bodies 320 kilometers or some
200 miles long. How can such a remorseless slaughter be considered sustainable?
If each seal has 4 liters of blood,
this means one million two hundred and eighty thousand liters of blood spilled onto the ice and into the sea in the past few
weeks.
A veritable sea of blood, a horrific massacre blessed by the Newfoundland clergy and sanctioned by the government
of Canada.
Recent reports from government officials claim that the quota is still one hundred thousand under the 320,000
figure.
According to the government, the nearly one hundred vessels in the Gulf of St. Lawrence killed 107,000 in
three days. This means that the over three hundred vessels on the Front have been having a difficult time in killing the 110,000
they reported taking since Friday. With luck, the bad weather and ice conditions will prove to be a salvation for some of
the seals.

THIS IS A BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURE OF THE CRUILITY!
03/30/2005 PLEASE EMAIL EACH OF THESE PLACES AND TELL THEM TO STOP THE BABY SEAL SLAUGHTER!!
ACTION
ALERT: A Call to Help the Seals
You can help to make this campaign a success and end the slaughter. Unfortunately for
the seals, the media coverage for this first day of this horrific slaughter has been minimal to none.
We need your
help! The seals need your help!
We have provided a list of national media outlets and ask that you contact them by
email, fax or phone and give them our contact information.
Here are some key talking points:
I am a concerned
citizen and I want this important issue covered – it is the largest mass slaughter of marine mammals in the world!
325,000
seals are being slaughtered right now and 95% of them are babies less than four weeks old.
I have joined in the
Canadian Seafood Boycott which has been put into action in an effort to put financial pressure on Canada to bring the “hunt”
to a permanent end.
Sea Shepherd is in the midst of the battle with their ship, Farley Mowat, trying to protect the
seals. Please make at least one call / fax / e-mail TODAY for the seals!

Captain Paul Watson & Baby Seal |
The RED LOBSTER RESTAURANT CHAIN buys more seafood
from the seal killers than any other restaurant. - Please contact Red Lobster (click on the underlined link above)and ask
them to boycott Canadian Seafood until Canada stops the cruel and senseless slaughter of baby Harp Seals in Labrador and Newfoundland.
Refuse to eat at Red Lobster restaurants, and refuse to buy fresh, frozen, canned, dried, capsuled, or other kind of fish
products from Canada until it stops the annual seal massacre forever. A little inconvenience at the dinner table is the least
we can all do to end the vicious clubbing and live skinning of infant Seals in the hundreds of thousands, and millions. YOu
may not think your one email or call will help. But, from what we have seen, one person can make all the difference. Please
show your outrage and do not support Canada's mass slaughter of baby seals.
