END THE SEAL HUNT - Humane Society (at least) we can try.

[suparni]

I just received an email from the Humane Society (happy PETA haters?) requesting that I send two very simple and quick form letters out to Canadian officials and that I boycott Canadian sea food until the seal hunt stops. Granted, that is very easy for me as I am a vegan... If you don't support the boycott or don't think it is a good idea to send this message to Canadian officials, then there are plenty of thread where you can moan about it... but this is just to spread the link and share the opportunity with those of you who want to support the protest. This is a link provided by the Humane Society and the picture is by Nigel Barker from Americas Next Top Model, who is supporting the fight against killing baby seals for fashion.

Link one - urging Canada’s Minister of International Trade to put an end to the Canadian seal hunt:

I know that some of you may not see it as logical, but I am into responsible consumption and I don't buy sweat shop chinese goods, support McDonalds, or single out Canada in my consumer discretion.

I've signed it an sent it on to several people.For all the good it will do.If only we could all have two lives...the ones we inhabit and the ones where we go out there and physically do something to stop it.I hope the purpetrators die a horrible death.

Here's the letter addressed to the trade minister. Too bad you can't include that picture someone posted the other day of the seals dying in the bloody snow.

Oh I see that my link was not a permalink... here is the Canadian seafood boycott permalink. http://www.hsus.org/protect_seals.html This site has some interesting facts and stories about seals and marine mammals, nice to read some of the information just because it is so interesting. It also has some sad news to tell about grey seals and harp seals.
