Stop
the Canadian Seal Slaughter
The ice floes off Newfoundland and Labrador
in Canada have been once again running red with the
blood of hundreds of thousands of baby harp seals,
some as young as 12 days old. Canada's annual seal
slaughter is the largest commercial hunt of marine
mammals anywhere in the world—and the rest of
the world is taking notice.
As soon as a sealer clubbed the first
baby seal to death on March 29, The HSUS and other
members of the Protect Seals Network launched a global
boycott of Canadian seafood products, already joined
by Legal Sea Foods, Down East Seafoods, and Spectrum
Organics in the United States, and Marks and Spencer
in the United Kingdom.
Most Canadian crab imported by the U.S.
is purchased by Red Lobster, so getting them to join
is key, and your help is needed. The owner of Red
Lobster, the Darden Group, also owns Olive Garden.
1. Don't buy Canadian seafood
(or better yet, go
vegetarian).
2. Tell Canada's Prime Minister
to end the seal hunt.
3. Ask your U.S.
Senators to co-sponsor Senate Resolution 33
opposing the bloody seal hunt.
